1986 Subaru Vortex xt review from Australia and New Zealand
"Good all round car that is different"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brought the car with a bad clutch, but was given a new one. cv boot split. needs new exhaust, but it does not matter because I'm putting on a bigger one on. little rust, but repaired easily.
General comments?
Is fast for what it is, engine holds out good. different car to all the others and is not too bad once you get to know it. very tidy for 1986 car, cost $700 NZ.
