1993 Subaru Loyale 4WD Station Wagon review from North America
"Greatest bargain 4WD"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Upmost bad luck : oil pump shaft broke thus resulting in severe engine wear. I had to replace the engine at 110000k.
Others minors repairs were predictable and not costly.
Rust appeared after 6 years (lots of road salt used in my place).
General comments?
Very cheap to buy: only model available with 4wd at 13500$CAN in 1993. Even with the engine replacement, this car is very economical in overall costs (repairs, gas, insurance, etc.)
Never got stuck in the snow/ice/mud.
Lots of space.
Highest ground clearance for a car.
I will buy another Subaru... if I can ever be disloyal to my Loyale.
