Fun to drive, great dashboard and gauges - good looking and I loved the orange lighting at night, excellent push button shift on the fly 4WD, great for NY snowy winters, adjustable rear height, absolutely beautiful styling compared to today's cars. It was a GL-10 wagon - baby blue with chrome wheels (not very common) with raised white letter tires and chrome on various place around the car. Air conditioning died and the car wasn't that old and the car had the weirdest habit of blowing the muffler, every time I floored it to get on the highway. After the third muffler, I stopped flooring it to get on the highway. Thankfully, I didn't travel on the highway where it always seemed to happen, often.

I loved this car! Got a reputation around town because then (in the 1990's) didn't see many of these styles in Washington DC. Unfortunately had a head on collision with a Nissan and my car was totaled - but it saved my life!

The Subie was incredibly tough it's reliability was unquestionable. The performance was what you'd expect from a tiny four cylinder, but it loved to rev high all day. The rack and pinion steering felt every pebble, as well as, the tires gripping and slipping. It was pretty fun to drive; I've gotten at least two feet of air while hitting a hump in the road, and it kept on going.

Good utility car. 4 wheel drive was useful with all my trips over the pass to Eastern Washington. Never had an mechanical issues, good gas mileage. Then got a divorce and decided I had to have something red and sporty...
