1991 Subaru Legacy GT review from Australia and New Zealand
"Fast, but expensive to run and mechanically pathetic"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Within the 1st month of owning this vehicle my Transmission Died. $1000.
Followed by the motor. $1500.
CD Player has never worked. Justs spits the Cd's back out at you.
CV Joints faulty from day one.
General comments?
This car has been an absolute nightmare. Was going o.k till the transmission locked up on a long trip and almost killed me. As a result the motor decided to die at the same time. Have replaced both the transmission and the motor and finally it is running well. The only nice thing I will say about the car is that it's quick and handles well. Every mechanic I have spoken to has told me to keep away from Subaru's. Damn my crappy timing!!
