1990 Subaru Justy GL review from North America
"Great Mini-Subaru"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Not too much.
Needs new CV joints up front, but don't have money for them right now, so it's basically a RWD Justy (it's in 4wd)
Gone through 2 alternator belts (one broke and the other slipped off).
Small spot of rust on the back wheel area.
General comments?
I do have one complaint: The bright light flasher is annoying. I don't know how many people I've flashed my brights at while signaling.
I worked for about 6 months saving money for a car, and saw this Justy in the paper for $1,100 and talked him down to $950.
If I would've known the joints were gonna die on me I would've tried to get him lower, but it's still a great car.
Slipped a few times on snow thanks to the RWD I have going on, but still handles better than most cars with RWD.
I might be getting a lift kit for it and some Suzuki ATV wheels on it when I get it fixed. This is gonna be an off road car when I'm through.
