1997 Subaru Vivio LE review from UK and Ireland
"A good find"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Just a side light not working.
A chugging while driving along, as though it had dirt in the carburettor.
Radio not working.
General comments?
A really reliable little marvel, I have fallen in love with it, and would be prepared to go any distance to get the parts for it.
It is loud as others have said, but as for the suspension, it is as smooth as velvet in comparison with the previous car.
The chugging in the motor apparently could be something to do with an electric sensor on the fuel air mix, (according to mechanic), and the part new costs 75, but I am hoping to get it from a dismantlers.
Since buying it, I have seen 5 of them in the last month, which is quite a lot considering none of them are younger than 97.
