1993 Subaru Impreza L review from North America
"You can't go wrong with such a great car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I believe my O2 sensor is going out, but very slowly.
The car is a bit beat up, but that was from previous owner abuse.
Brakes refuse to not squeal, regardless of pad type or frequency of replacement.
Ignition switch had to be replaced at 155,000.
General comments?
This car is amazing. It runs even after being hit a total of 3 times, and keeps on trucking. The car does not burn any oil or has ever had any major mechanical problems. I have only done routine maintenance on the car and can't say enough good about it. It's pretty slow, as Subaru was still learning how to make a fuel efficient yet quick car back in 93, so it's no race car. Seats can be a bit uncomfy on long trips. However I do a lot of driving everyday, take care of it, and have had no problems whatsoever. It has pretty simplistic styling, with just a touch of something different. The car is built like a friggen rock; I feel very safe in it. This car responds well to anything you try to throw at it, and I will definitely be buying another Subaru in the future. Props to Subaru for making such a gem!
