Mitchy Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 (edited) I once posted this car under another username, which I shall presently delete! I bought this car two years ago to complement the hard working Forester, as a daily transport to work, shopping trolley without the kids etc. Like many, I did not know this model existed until I saw it advertised. So I bought it, as at the time I was after a Fiat Panda 4x4, which now sell for silly, silly money. This was a bargain compared, and sporting the Subaru badge, how could I resist? 660cc, EMPi, 5MT, front wheel drive or selectable 4WD at the push of a button. No centre diff, so not full-time AWD. 8000+rpm, what is not to love? Five doors, and it is tiny! But I fit comfortably. However, now that I discovered my Legacy BD7, the little beast must go to a new home, so here are some photos I took for the sale: Even the number plate is kind of special (in Spain a new car gets its new number and that number dies forever when the car dies...no transfers, no ownership): 1607 BNM 16 =4x4 0.7 litre BNM = my name is BEN M. Kind of special, anyway! Edited August 3, 2019 by Mitchy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitchy Posted August 3, 2019 Author Share Posted August 3, 2019 I have done my fair share to get it as good as possible... Clean-up for the sale: Engine full rebuild last year, doesn’t look like any scoob engine I worked on before!

el_freddo Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Shame you have to move this on. Such a unique car! Cheers Bennie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitchy Posted August 3, 2019 Author Share Posted August 3, 2019 Yup Its a peach and I will miss it. I was out and about in it yesterday, as the Legacy was spurting grease.... It is a bit frantic, it is basic, it buzzes angrily, and it encourages you to drive flat out. In comparison, the Legacy, though relatively basic, flies, has a low boxer grumble at any speed, and is so darn comfortable. I think it gives me better mileage too. plus it has frameless glass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
