1993 Subaru Loyale review from North America
"I love this slow station wagon"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The radiator was plugged and had to be replaced. The dash lights don't work (maybe due to the previous owner putting in a cd player)
General comments?
I've always had high performance cars or Jeeps. I just got this car and love it to death. It has near glacial acceleration and needs a wee bit more power, but I went and bought my wife an Outback because I love this car. It is great in snow/mud (live in northern New Mexico) and has the best heater I've ever seen. MPG is about 28 and I had to adjust the timing as I live at 7500 feet. I put in Bosch platinum plugs and got about 8-10 mph faster up the hills.
