1989 Subaru Justy J12 review from Switzerland
"A Japanese pocket-Ferrari"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Up to now everything is OK with the car.
The only thing I really do not like is the steering: It needs very much strength. But on the other hand it makes it easier to control the car on windy back roads...
General comments?
It has only 63hp, but is incredibly fast. On Swiss mountain roads you can really drive like mad with this go-kart-like Subie.
But be careful: If you go too fast in a curve, the car understeers heavily!
But it's really big fun to drive!
And when in December the first snow falls, I can only smile and press the 4WD button...
