1993 Subaru Loyale 4WD review from North America
"This is a good 4WD winter beat-the-crap-out-of car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Just bought this car as a winter beater. Step on the gas as much as you want, this car is not going any place fast. The 4WD seems to be nice, but the car seems to be an oil-guzzler.
General comments?
I have owned mostly sports cars. My first being a Shelby Turbo 2, second was a Nissan 240SX, and now I own an Eclipse. If you go from the Eclipse to the Subaru, get ready to watch the speedo. What feels like 150 mph is only 45. If you want a car with get-up and go, this is not for you. If you want SUV sluggish performance in a car with a little better fuel efficency, this is the car for you! Be ready to buy a lot of oil though.
