Review
Bought new and only thing other than maintenance is EGR valve and fixing oil leaks. 133k for clutch, 90k and 70k for brakes and 182,000 miles on it now. I live in hills and still average 30 mpg with 80% commuting. It does leak oil now but I don't want to spend the money at this point to fix them. Uses very little oil (1/2 qt to change) very practical 4WD. It does go through CV boots. Only current problem is that I need to seem to run thinner oil for cold weather otherwise rattles top end on cold starts. Changed shocks and struts once - they are worn out now but still wears the tires evenly with all other original front end parts.

I drive a subaru for 3 years. The 4X4
is wonderful, it can get you out of any
snow accumulation.

The Loyale is a fairly decent car, but
at this date in time, the 1992 is
probably not for most. There are some
stupid design flaws, most noticably
that the catalytic converter is right
next to the CV boot. The result is
that I have had to replace the axle
twice in the three + years I have
owned it. Plus, old Subarus are
notorious for leaking oil. No balls in
4cyl engine.

Although this is a rather dependable
veh, the biggest problem is the repair
costs. The replacement parts for this
car are insane. Many times mechanics,
other than actual Subaru delears, are
unable or unwilling to do the work due
to the complexity of the design. For a
low end automobile this not a good
thing.
