Taggs Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 What's up. I am the proud new owner of a 1992 Subaru Loyale 4wd wagon. I'd like to get to know a little bit more about this car and what I can expect from it. Also, it's a "Sport" edition, does anybody know what was different about this model? If you do, let me know. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baccaruda Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 the "sport" edition is probably just decals that a dealership put on it when new. pictures of your car would tell us the whole story though. welcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubaSkeet Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 hahahahaha, sport edition... what a joke!!! never ever heard of something like that on any older soob. thats something car manufacturers put on their minivans to make the soccermoms think that they can tote their kids around faster than the regular SUV gas hogs. either way, i really doubt its got much more of a kick than a regular loyale. 4wd, power everything, loyales didnt come in turbos as far as i know so just the stock ea-82 spfi engine, and maybe they decided to throw a custom pedal plate kit in or something. you know, the ones that look like the foot? thats definitely sporty. either way, its a soob, so happy off-roading, and make sure to spit in any open honda windows you happen to see on the road. then drive off and give the bird and hide because theyre probably faster than you. unless you can get on the dirt, because only soobs have 4wd. alright, thats just me. im done now. shutting up.

(with the exception of mirrors) 2) 90 and possibly 91 Loyales came offered as turbo models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubaSkeet Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 ah, thank you for specifying. i am now more learned. why the heck did they get rid of the gl's? i would much rather have one of those. loyales are just too weak to take over for them.

bajavwnsoobnut Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 I have seen a couple Loyaled with the "Sport" badging and also some legs too so there might be a couple different things in there but might try finding another loyale to park next to and compare with and Slippery rock hmm is that also a place for a good track also?

Taggs Posted August 10, 2004 Author Share Posted August 10, 2004 Well, I'll try to get a pic the "Sport" nerd wagon. I'm livin in the stone age and haven't bought a digi camera yet. Yes, Slippery Rock University is good for track, to answer your question. Thanks for the info and hospitality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vegablade Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 I have a 90 Loyale and the only thing power on it is the steering. I must have the stripped down version you know the one after they take all the goodies out ow well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must have the stripped down version you know the one after they take all the goodies out ow well. That really confuses me. All the Loyale's Ive sat in were pretty bare bones. Why didnt Subaru push the GL and GL10 hard untill the Legacy L came out? Seems funny they would end the GLs, send over boat loads of crap boxes from 89 to what 93?, and then go back to a more luxury oriented Legacy L model. Maybe the GL was just too much bang for your buck so they wanted ppl to buy more expensive Legacy models? Meditate on this, I will...

SubaSkeet Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 well, for a fact i have all the power features... seatbelts, locks, windows, mirrors, steering, etc. im envious of your 88gl tho, wanna trade? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bajavwnsoobnut Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 well the Loyale when it was changed is when the legacy came out and the Loyale was the "bread and butter" car cause they still sold them cause of them being the cheapest thing around that wasn't a justy and the loyale name lasted to 1994 when the impreza took over and that is why right now if you want to get a cheap suby you get a 2.5TS cause they are the cheapest thing around for subies unless you pack on the options like alloys and such Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taggs Posted August 11, 2004 Author Share Posted August 11, 2004 My Loyale "Sport" has power everything. Hell, even the AC still works, very well in fact. Only 68k original miles on it, and it has almost no body rust. All for 1,400 $. Title hasn't come in yet though, and man am i wantin to get that thing. And by the way, how do i get my hands on some 14 inch wheels for that car?? I'm a subaru virgin, so try and break me in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baccaruda Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 Hi, I have some 14's for sale in the marketplace. here's a link to my post: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=18909 please notice where i talk about the curb rash on a couple of them; I don't want to sell them to someone without them knowing about that. Also please note that I do not have the peugeot lugnuts that normally go with them. Aftermarket lugs are available for around $20 a set, I believe. If you'd like to discuss buying them from me, may i request that you post in the marketplace thread as opposed to this one? and thanks. here is a picture of this style of wheel: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/80s/wheels2/pug14-a.jpg My Loyale "Sport" has power everything.

AKIRA Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 mine is a 92 4wd auto with power everything, even cruise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XT Fan Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 Keep talking guys. You are making me realize just how lucky I really am. My Husband found my 89 GL-10 Turbo wagon and told me that he had to tow it home, but that I would really like it as it has everything. He also worked for Subaru, way back in the 80s'. Cushy inside, power everything. My favorite features are the cruise control and sliding sunroof. Some day I'll even figure out which buttons to push to get info out of that nifty trip computer:rolleyes: . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
