DerFahrer Posted August 31, 2003 Share Posted August 31, 2003 Good read! My manager at my old job had a 80 Wagonner that she got for free (!). She needed a car real bad, and someone she knew wanted rid of it... Anyway, she knew absolutely nothing about cars, and so I did a slight amount of tinkering and test-driving. I actually found it to be a nice vehicle. Plently of power, and surprising handling. But it was simply too big to tickle my fancy... In this comparo, I would go Subaru all the way, and not just because I'm biased. Even though it's down on power a little, the engine is very durable and willing. And I would definitely appreciate the nimbleness of the smaller car too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorganM Posted August 31, 2003 Share Posted August 31, 2003 Too bad they didnt get a Subaru GL. I think the writer would have been significantly more impressed. Hell *I* wouldnt even buy a DL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uberoo Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 I know this is an old thread but they wanted to compare the top of the line 4x4 to the cheapest 4x4.Meaning one car with the bare essentials and one with all the nice things..Although they only dinged the subaru because it was underpowered and because it was small.

pheonix165 Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 yeah i know its an old thread too... i wonder what would have been the result if the comparison would of been between the the mid 80's jeep and say a gl10 turbo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
