1992 Subaru Loyale Wagon review from North America
"Great, cheap, reliable all weather, transportation"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had to replace brakes and tires (what car doesn't)
General comments?
I bought this car 2 years ago from someone I knew that needed a money fast.
This 1992 Subaru Loyale wagon is probably the ugliest car I have ever owned.
I brought it into my workshop/garage to fix all the problems I found, as I am a perfectionist when it comes to mechanical things.
This is what I found.
ZIP, nothing, nada.
A year later I bought another one for possibly parts for a poultry sum.
Car was too good for parts. Put on Brakes and tires, and gave it to my 16 year old Grandson.
So I bought another 1993 Loyale wagon online for possibly parts without driving it. Had it shipped from Colorado to NC.
$200 later I have two 4 wheel drive work horses.
If the Japanese had their act together like this in 1941, this might have been written in that language.
I am looking for # 4 to fix up and give to grandson # 2.
I have owned at least 50 cars trucks and other types of vehicles in my life including Caddies and Honda's.
I rate this 16 year old car in the top 3.
