1988 Subaru Sherpa super deluxe review from Australia and New Zealand
"An absolute blast!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The wheel hub lost its thread causing brake disc to come loose. $30 to fix.
The gearbox is losing the syncromesh in the second gear.
General comments?
The Sherpa is an absolute gem of a car!
Gets up the big hills pulling at 100 km, not too stable speeding down the windy hills at 120 km though.
This week I got 424 km to 23 litres of fuel.
