Motor Trend 1979: Wagoneer v.s. DL


Recommended Posts

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...

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.
