Shit on fuel though, presumably due to the 4wd system (it's always 'active', the magic button effectively just locks the centre diff). https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Subaru-Justy-4WD-1-2L-1992/284003237592?hash=item421fe97ed8:g:TogAAOSwRr1fVfSq They tend to command daft money these days though (especially the stronger injected versions) so may not stay at this price!

The water company I worked for in summer 2001 had one. It was in demand by the lab guys. More recently peter troth the x1/9 specialist I use near Welshpool has one and uses it as a courtesy car.

The one I had was pretty much made of underseal but that didn't stop it from failing every MoT on corrosion. The timing belt interval in these is pretty much annual too, mine was on 140k when it died and was on its seventh belt, even then I got £300 for it from an ambitious AS member who thought they could repair it! richardmorris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
