Awesome video! Thanks for the review, brother. :) It was my pleasure. I was super excited to have the car reviewed and my only regret is that I wasn't able to patch up more of what needs work. Glad you enjoyed the ride. Thanks again, Zack!
I have owned a 92 SVX for 10+ years, there are lots of little hidden gems in this car, first. In the driving conditions you were driving in you likely had your headlights on correct? well when you have lights on it dims the interior dash/clock radio etc. but there is a button on the end of the turn signal stalk you push to brighten those back up to normal so they are easier to see in daylight. There is a handle under the bottom of the column to set the steering wheel position and the lever on the left side allows you to unlock and move the steering wheel all the way up for easy entry/exit, when you pull the wheel down it goes right back to your preset position. That engine is capable of over 500HP at the wheels with just injectors and stand alone ecu running turbo. Then finally when you put the engine in front of a manual transmission you change the feel completely you have direct feel of all those ponies so when you hit the go pedal it really does go. let me link you to a long video of my car when I first put the 6 speed sti trans in. th-cam.com/video/02v8SMjL4WM/w-d-xo.html
SVX is definitely interesting...but the EG33 was never used in anything else. Was sold in Japan as the Alcyone, and some 94s and 95s were front wheel drive to chop $5,000 off the list price. Couldn't save it, though.
The car's transmission would overheat and Destroy itself. It had the same automatic transmission as the Mitsubishi 3000gt. The rack and pinion steering would go bad and there were a lot of other reliability issues with the car. The car is absolutely gorgeous, I wish Subaru would have continued with the amazing styling of this car. They haven't made a good-looking car since this one
I love mine, dished pistons non interference engine, desgined by a maniac, glass to glass design, very good ride, I have an STI as well but if there were an autobahn I would drive my SVX(Subaru Vehicle eXperimental) because you can maintain higher speeds at higher RPM'S then you can in a subaru 4 banger
Well as for the transmission 96-98 Subaru outback transmission bolts right in you will also need the rear differential of the same outback then you will get a 4.44 diff just swap the planet gear in the diff. Love my SVX 92 green.😁 Great video for such an un-appreciated car.
7:00 Coupe back seats are made for small, short people. I have an '02 Cougar. I'm neither small nor short, and I've had to ride backseat. You have to fold up three times if you want to fit. Either that or the backseat is made for people who want their sporty car but have kids
I don't subscribe to car reviews bc the host doesnt even know what hes talking about but dude you have great positive vibes and I can tell u truly enjoy and love cars in general....I get that same shite eating grin u do. Keep it up
Nice to see a good review of the SVX! Note on the windows, in the 90s the futuristic bubble glass was a popular with most automotive manufactures. The SVX's split windows allowed window to window contact in all four corners creating the smallest amount of blind spots possible and even some upward visibility. After owning one for almost a decade it has spoiled me and makes every other vehicle feel like a blind tank. But you live in fear of a cracked glass because it can total the car :(
The Audi "V8" was a very unique car that was a luxury car that had AWD, it was insanely expensive something like upwards of 80k could be wrong mind you but they only made it for a few years in the early nineties. I used to know a lot about it but you know how it is I can't remember anymore. Just thought I'd mention it because it was one of few Luxury AWD cars at the time...
I've heard a little about this car over the years, thought about getting one as a project but was told I should never own one. Being that it was only sold as an auto, that was a big let down #SaveTheManuals Definitely still a cool car! Great review!! Also dont shard in it 😂
If you ever reconsidering buying one, you can manual swap them (5 speed from Legacy or 6 speed from STI), as much of the community will encourage you to do.
Who ever told you not too buy one didnt know what they were talking about. Amazing car especially too mod and work on. Easiest subaru motor too pull take 1.5hours from start too finish too pull the engine. Not a single bolt you fight for. All 6 motor too tranny bolts perfect access. Motor bolts facing straight down. Exhaust headers same thing. Every bolt has perfect access. I cannot emphasize how much easier this engin is too pull and work i over sooooooooooo many other vehicles. Including civics toyots Mitsubishi's nissans you name it. Nothing comes close.
Awesome and Very fast Car and perfect in the snow and ice ! Only thing that limits car in snow is snow height . Got ticket on 2nd day of driving car. Bought in 1996 when 2 years old. Still have Car back in My back shed but needs work done on it now. Hopefully in the future have it restored .
good review dude, you and hoovie would be a fun duo for reviewing cars. i am considering a '95 svx and was hoping to find out if these cars had cruise control but i guess they don't, as i use cc for any lengthy stretch 35mph and higher
well done video!!!! I logged on to see the review because someone has a 94 svx for sale on Market Place. too bad they only made 15k. parts must come at a premium.
HAHAHA, thats hilarious. I recently got an FB so I found your channel, and now Im about to get a SVX as well so it led me right back to your channel haha.
4eat transmissions are made by Jatco heavy industries and after the 80's were notorious for being unreliable. That said i had one and it was strong enough to handle anything i threw at it.
If only the exchange rate didn't make Japanese sports cars prohibitively expensive in the 90s. The SVX had potential. If they offered more iterations, like turbo and sti versions it could have been awesome.
Yes the 3000Gt VR4 is awd but transverse engine sucks in my opinion. lol I have always loved that 3000GT VR4 but when I saw it was FWD layout I was disappointed add to that because of that awd layout it is no where near as good in bad weather driving I do appreciate that they made a turbo version as well but again with that transverse layout working on them is much worse
@@redline1916 its alot of older parts that once i replace them issues go away because the car has alot of really old parts lol. its not that bad now that alot of the older parts were replaced.
Awesome video! Thanks for the review, brother. :) It was my pleasure. I was super excited to have the car reviewed and my only regret is that I wasn't able to patch up more of what needs work. Glad you enjoyed the ride. Thanks again, Zack!
fix that seat ;) awesome car!

One year later. Your little laugh after beeping the horn brings me the purest of joys. The internet is such a wonderful place.
man those rims fit that car so perfectly. owner has great taste.

Loved the SVX.. back in 94 was young and credit wasn't that great.. had to get a Saturn SL2 lol.. tell Tyler to fix that seat! Great video
Interesting that you got a Saturn. I have a 01 SC1 behind my garage.
Im young with no credit and I have a broken sç2 in my garage

One day… I hope to find one :)
You described my 92 lsi trim SVX perfectly.
I hope they don't salt those roads, that body is pristine!
Oh they do.. They do all the time.
@@redline1916 i got my rust free body lol i think just after this comment. she's sitting in my garage.. as my 40k truck sits outside ahahaha

Wonder where this guy finds the parts for this thing! Rock auto has a very limited options for this rare car...
Reminds me of the also strange Mazda Mx-3, i hope you get the chance to review one soon !
A lot of people confuse it with a Ford probe or an old Mitsubishi eclipse

@@KrytonTechnologies that's awesome! I'll definitely look into that if I stumble upon one again
Appreciate the info homie!!!
@@Tiltymilk Anytime. Get connected into the SVX Nation Facebook page if you ever get one!
Great review of a great car. V professional review but entertaining too. Well done!

Love the Drexler comparison
Zack: the Subaru svx is the weirdest Subaru
Subaru xt enters the chat
I looked into it your completely correct lol
HAHAHA, thats hilarious. I recently got an FB so I found your channel, and now Im about to get a SVX as well so it led me right back to your channel haha.

Man I want that car now too lol I really like my first gen Mazda 6 though it also has nice unique Japanese vibes
If only the exchange rate didn't make Japanese sports cars prohibitively expensive in the 90s. The SVX had potential. If they offered more iterations, like turbo and sti versions it could have been awesome.
i dont even like subarus that much but i love these
Cool video! I own a 92 ls-l (touring package) very cool cars.
I've definitely seen this car before! Super clean and that's fox lake 🤣
I arrived at this video because of interest in the SVX. You did the car enough justice time get a sub out of me! Well done sir!
I'll trade my car for an SVX *instantly.* And that's an EG33 engine
The 3000gt Vr4 was also a AWD luxury coupe from that era. Also if you ever go to east TN I have a badass Na FC rx-7 you can review.
Yes the 3000Gt VR4 is awd but transverse engine sucks in my opinion. lol I have always loved that 3000GT VR4 but when I saw it was FWD layout I was disappointed add to that because of that awd layout it is no where near as good in bad weather driving I do appreciate that they made a turbo version as well but again with that transverse layout working on them is much worse
I agree 100% but I feel it deserved to get a mention as this car was its rival in this segment,and imo the 1991 3000gt vr4 is sexy with its pop ups.
Try to find a lancer glxi 1993 review its kinda looks like a evo 3
Aaaand I want one. They sound so good w exhaust
Wish you were in Florida bro.. I would love for you to review my corrado.
i own a 92 and i love my car despite the fact its a money pit i will never give up on
is it really? what parts keep failing?
@@redline1916 its alot of older parts that once i replace them issues go away because the car has alot of really old parts lol. its not that bad now that alot of the older parts were replaced.
Dude low key looks like Kenny powers in the face
audi s2 coupe had quattro system and a 220hp L5 turbo. no other car of this category comes to my mind.
4eat just means 4 speed electronic automatic transmission.
Let ignore the fact your over head light is blue
Subaru are like lego all kinds of interchangeable
Look good in blue as well
You forgot to check out the gas cap.
Im trying to get an svx atm but man its hard
Is it the same motor out of the Legacy?
take a shot every time he says Very. See you at the morgue.
amigo que carro maneiro olha é sensacional vê os clássicos do automotivo esportivo 👍😁🇺🇸🇺🇸🎤🎤
I thought the svx was 4wd not awd
What other cars was the EG 33 in?!. None
This is why i wont buy one, parts are too rare
One of the slowest cars I’ve ever seen!
Clark Charles Robinson Margaret Young Donald
Hall Jose Lee Lisa Allen Barbara
well, i have factory manual...
Oh god. Stop repeating yourself so much.
There is a 5 speed version for sale where I live as we speak.
