1992 Subaru SVX Review
Price Estimate: $6,470 - $10,118

Edmunds' Expert Review
by the Edmunds Experts
What’s new
Subaru replaces the odd XT6 with the equally unusual SVX. Performance numbers are quite good with the standard 3.3-liter Flat-6 engine and standard all-wheel drive. The strange two-piece side windows, designed to decrease interior turbulence when the window is opened, leave something to be desired. Antilock brakes and a driver airbag are standard.

1992 Subaru SVX LS 2dr Coupe AWD
It is one of the most fun-cars to drive. I traded in my 1989 Corvette for this SVX and immediately became a stable and peaceful person. The smooth and in particular the quiet drive, even at speed, is a real driving experience. It's like sitting in an air plane, smooth and quiet. There never were any technical problems. Now that I am older however, it is a little harder for me to get in … and out of the car.
Fell in love at first sight

Take off feels like an American luxury V8, except it's awd so no tires slip.
You'll get complements
"what kind of car is that" question. I love the asymmetric mag wheels (L/R are different) which adds to uniqueness. It's a heavy and wide car, slalom like bends gets the car leaning like a boat, but it still grips. Great city driver if you don't mind the 6cyl mileage, great hwy cruiser. … Braking is mediocre for car of this weight and pwr. Only problems were creaky dashboard (known to Subaru) and weak Tranny, which died after I traded it in. I'd taken it on fishing trip & even minor offroad (by accident) stoped when tranny temp light turned on. I'd buy this car again if possible.
Definitely a different drive

I purchased my Subaru SVX back in May of '04 and have never looked back. This car is completely different from every other car on the road. Its rare to see another one, and quite honestly, owning one is like having a membership into a cult of sorts. The 3.3 liter Boxer H-6 engine definitely puts out the power to the wheels, which happens to be all wheel drive. Coupled with independent … ABS on each disc (Yes, four discs, not two discs and two drums), this car will get you up to speed and back to a halt in no time flat. And if you're not sold on it yet, here is another tidbit. When you floor it, a green light on the dash displays POWER. Such a rush to drive.
Review of 1992 Subaru SVX

My SVX has been a relatively reliable
and fun-to-drive sport car. I have
always been particularly impressed
with the "quiet and smooth
powerfulness" of the engine. It has
always ridden well. I continually get
questions and compliments relative to
its sleek and "split window" exterior
design. I believe its weakest design
feature is the transmission. I have
had it … rebuilt one time, and I have
heard that this is not unusual for
this car. Also, I have found that
parts are very expensive, and gas
mileage is not good. I would say that
it is an excellent buy right now for
someone who wants a luxury style sport
car at a less than $3,000 price tag.
