pocket car

About the size of today's Fiat 500, but much better looking. Mine had the hideous baby blue color but other than that, it was rock solid. It lasted 3 decades on the original transmission fluid. Probably used it up by the 29th year on the street. Then it ran dry for a few months before dying at 59k miles. Inside the car still looked good, especially for its time. The car's outside held up well too. Even the a/c still ran decent. The carb on top of the engine is the only thing giving away its age. I had the fwd version, but everybody thought it was awd because it's a subaru. I would buy it again just for fun. But I would want manual trans. I hope subaru brings it back with some BRZness to it.

Best car I have ever owned. Very reliable. Great gas mileage. Gutless but will never leave you stranded. Had the 4x4 gl it was great in the snow.

Love this car!! Motor in mine blew up a few months ago and i have been looking on ever since then. If you get a chance to buy one don't think about it just do it. This car with it's 4wd and short wheel base will go anywhere a truck or jeep will.
