1990 Subaru Legacy GT review from Australia and New Zealand

Gave the last rights to the fuel pump at 120,000 km. Cost $530 NZD.

At 125,000 km the catalytic converter decided it would prefer to be positioned further down the exhaust system. New exhaust $300 NZD.

Interior roof lining sags like a circus tent, 90,000 km.

Rear door decides to lock itself every time a passenger attemps to exit. 120,000 (and no its not the kiddie locks)

Paint pealing off the factory roof rails ever since day one.

Would have to say that this car is probably the most versatile and exciting car I have ever owned. Great performance on the open road and not a bad shopping trolley for the wife to use on Mall exhibitions.

Sticks to the road around corners and has plenty of room in the boot for golf clubs, bikes etc.

Can be a challenge for the home mechanic. ie changing spark plugs. Apart from the coronary I experienced when I found out the price of the Platinum plugs that the vehicle takes, it took roughly an hour to get one plug out after removing the air filter and windshield cleaner tank from either side of the engine. Even with these removed be prepared to lose several layers of skin off your knuckles and hands.
