    My dad used to have one of those, it was abandoned for ten year and we just changed the oils and put some gas and i turned on like it was new

    Well Done...fun to watch. Had two L series back in the 80's/early 90's...great Cars, and did some awesome trips with them ...just lacked a bit of grunt right when needed at times....had a couple of Liberty's after that and a Forester...all excellent, just picked up a new XV but It won't be working as hard as previous Subi's...getting bait old now, plus I also have an old Landrover Disco for the hard stuff.
    Thanks for the Vid.

    That is one ornery sob subaru wagon. Owned one, it was stock but not to many places it wouldn't go. I buried it the sand once, but was still able to back out without a tow. Imo Subaru's Rocked until about 2004, then they got sissyfied.

    Subaru has bought exceptionnals cars ! I was a proper of two of those : a Subaru 1800 Wagon, and a micro-van E-12 . It was the fun; realy ! Never any revision in a garage, multiple services a.s.o. I can only recommand these models but yet ... what's the quality of Subarus models, whoses are... sometimes Toyota (or Daihatsu ones) some others (Suzuki - for example the "Justy" in the begining of this century).
    Subaru was always something different as the others japaneses marks ! and it fels today !

      JP Onefourseven True, but a newer car using a automatic could still do very well I would think. Coupled to a more powerful engine and it might be better.

    • @JeremyPetho
      @JeremyPetho 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Cole G True, the transfer clutch in some transmissions can make up for the lack of 4WD and auto can make up for the lack of low range. I think the main advantage of a newer vehicle off road is the traction control. Still I prefer an old, simple 4WD system.
