1990 Subaru Justy GL II review from UK and Ireland
"White lightning"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing so far, have just replaced the front pads and rear shoes, done an oil change and rocker cover gasket, plugs and air filter so just maintenance.
Also put a new passenger door on it as I found one in scrap yard for £20 in better condition.
General comments?
Like my previous Subaru (Pocket Rocket) it has been great and don't know how I drove a Polo in between, it was horrible and just ate money.
Took it to Ireland 2 weeks after buying it, drove 200 miles at over 90mph and apart from increased fuel consumption it has been fine. Also coped incredibly well in the snow.
Only thing I have noticed that it is slightly slower than my 1989 3 door but it is probably slightly heavier. However have managed to get 45mpg out of it on a motorway run!!!
