very good car. great performance that pulls you in your seat but also holds like your mother when you were a kid. only prob that i have found is that there are literally no factory made modification that you can find. other than that if you just want a car this is the one that will get looks. beat all the four bangers and save you gas money. subaru made a great one this time

This car was and still is ahead of its time. Worried about safety in a small car? Not in this incredibly solid vehicle. All wheel drive with excellent power and handling completes the package. And its different! Don't forget this car competed with the BMW (and for me won). With only 14000 in the US it is becoming a collector's item.

'92 Subaru SVX AWD

I 'inherited' this car with 86K miles on it from a family member who had purchased it new and treated it very kindly. The transmission [the weak link in the chain] had been rebuilt at 73K miles. I immediately installed the largest external transmission cooler that could fit. The vehicle consistently gets 19-20 mpg in town and I've seen 30 mpg on the highway and is very comfortable. I found a local mechanic that loves the cars and, other than for routine maintenance, the car is never in the shop and has never let me down. It's an absolute blast to drive through curving mountain roads. It's neat to pull up to a stoplight and not see three other ones there with you like some other makes.

Great car, expensive to fix

I've had this car for almost 5 years now. Bought it with 80k. Tranny fixed under warantee, 24k later, tranny fixed again. Front rotors warped, got aftermarket 'low heat' pads when turned rotors and rotor live seems to have improved. Power steering hoses popped off twice.
