1994 Subaru Legacy GL review from Chile
"A loyal and reliable family car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A couple of condensers had to be changed, the car didn't start sometimes.
Engine service belt pulley had to be replaced.
Washer engine had to be replaced.
Not really expensive things if you consider 213000 km of hard work, long trips, including dirt roads long trips.
General comments?
This has been a great machine, we are a big family, this is mum's car. We have done very long trips (5000kms), dirt roads, loaded even with roof rack, snow roads, mountain.
The car requires basic maintenance, like injector cleaning liquid every 10000kms, new oil every 5000kms.
The car goes and goes, it doesn't burn oil, the fuel consumption is not the best, but runs very well, it still go fast & smooth.
Devaluation is very low.
