1992 Subaru Justy GLi 1.2 from UK and Ireland
Summary:
Very Economical and pleasant ride
Faults:
Nothing has really gone wrong with the car except the clutch feels slightly lighter than it used to, but this is probably due to wear and tear.
General Comments:
Many of my friends underestimated the performance of the car when I first bought it. Taking them for a ride showed them otherwise with a descent speed and good handling and the 4WD extra certainly impressed them when pulling away after a corner.
The 4WD is good in difficult weather situations, but useless off road due to little ground clearance.
The Dash is also plain, but this should be expected in a car of this stature. Replacing the standard radio/cassette player with a CD player and installing rear speakers makes the ride much more enjoyable.
One point that really lets the car down is the gear stick. The stick is a long and flimsy tall stick with a rounded head with a big red 4WD button in the middle of it.
Other than that the seats are comfortable and the Justy provides a smooth ride.
Sometimes I question why there aren't more of these cars on the road.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Clutch being light is common on this model. Replacement costs around £80 from a specialist dealer.
