1992 Subaru Loyale 4wd wagon review from North America
"This car has lasted 275k abusive miles"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Clutch at 263k miles.
Timing belts.
Water pump leaks.
02 sensor.
Stained and dented from many years of abuse.
General comments?
The 4 wheel drive system will get you out of a lot of situations.
It is ugly enough to not care about dents and scratches.
It has a cavernous cargo area once the seats are folded down.
The fuel economy is excellent considering how many miles it has on it and my lead foot.
This is a great car for a poor college kid who is mechanically inclined enough to do some minor repairs.
