1995 Subaru Justy Gem 1.1

Summary:

Brilliant

Faults:

Head gasket at 28000 miles.

General Comments:

My car is a joy to drive.

Starts first time.

Brill on snow, just click into 4 wheel drive with one button.

Loves going on days out, from 50 miles to 300 miles.

Speeds up well on motorways when need to overtake.

Smiles at me when I come out of work to meet him in the car park!!!

How come you rate it 10/10 for reliability when the head gasket failed at a paltry 28000 miles?

Only cost £30 to repair, so not so bad after all.

1995 Subaru Justy GLi 1.2 petrol

Faults:

Brake disc warped, 4wd switch died, but has never failed to start 1st time.

General Comments:

Considering it's done 40k miles in 2.5 years, the list of breakdowns is trivial. Nippy for its size, good in snow, never slips the wheels when racing away from the lights (unless left in 2wd) but a bit noisy and dated on the motorway.
