1990 Subaru Loyale review from North America
"I will always be thankful for my old Loyale"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Two weeks after I got the car, the lights started dimming so I swapped out the alternator with a spare.
1 brake job.
Countless litres of ATF for the power steering pump.
The usual rust, ticking lifters.
NOTHING ELSE.
Oh, my girlfriend broke the key off in the ignition so it starts with a screwdriver now... haha.
General comments?
I'm saddened to say that I am selling this car tonight (for the same price that I purchased it for). I love this car and will cherish the memories of trying to use my own momentum inside the car to get it to the top of steep hills.
