1986 Subaru GL review from North America
"This car can turn on a dime!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My left timing belt broke.
There are no timing marks.
The manuals are useless.
General comments?
The car is a terrific 4x4.
It's relatively easy to work on.
I wish I had more specific information.
To fix the timing problems.
Bought the car for $500. I still don't.
Regret it.
