1988 Subaru Justy S II Jem review from UK and Ireland
"Best car I have ever (nearly) owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Virtually nothing serious.
A little welding on the gear linkage at 140,000 (about £50).
Some rust beginning to show.
General comments?
Brilliant little car. It actually belongs to my wife, but I drive it whenever I can in preference to my '92 Subaru Legacy, which over the same period has cost me at least £6,000 in bills... that is why I say I would not buy another car from the same manufacturer.
Nippy performance, great suspension and handling for such a small car... and the 4WD has got us out of trouble on several occasions.
