1993 Subaru Loyale 4WD Station Wagon 1.8 4 cylinder. boxer type from North America
Summary:
Greatest bargain 4WD
Faults:
Upmost bad luck : oil pump shaft broke thus resulting in severe engine wear. I had to replace the engine at 110000k.
Others minors repairs were predictable and not costly.
Rust appeared after 6 years (lots of road salt used in my place).
General Comments:
Very cheap to buy: only model available with 4wd at 13500$CAN in 1993. Even with the engine replacement, this car is very economical in overall costs (repairs, gas, insurance, etc.)
Never got stuck in the snow/ice/mud.
Lots of space.
Highest ground clearance for a car.
I will buy another Subaru... if I can ever be disloyal to my Loyale.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Please don't believe the comment above. "I raced Mustangs and Mercedes and won". These engines are known for then sluggish starts and lack of power. They're good cars but if you're looking for a race car, this car is not for you.
