Hi guys, i am not sure if this forum is going to work for me as my Subaru is possibly for the European market only,i live in the UK, i will describe the car,its 1998,1300cc,permanent all wheel drive,5 door. The front end of the car appears like a Suzuki Swift. Ive had the car for a few month but havnt had it on the road yet as i bought the car for its 4 wheel drive capabilities,the last 2 winters ive been snowed in as i normally use a small Honda motorcycle or my 3.5 tonne camper,neither are any good in the snow so i thought i would try this little car . The car is a smooth runner and ive tried it out off road in the fields surrounding my house,although its got road tires on it does well on grass and muddy lanes. I will MOT it in November and road tax it and use the car over winter,i am hoping the car will tackle the snow if we have it again this winter. I think it would be usefull if when posting,we state our country and model of car we own,cheers and safe motoring to you all tom

I think this should be what your car looks like except for the color right? Here is a link that lists the specs for the various versions of the Justy. Yours has an in-line 4 cylinder 1300cc engine right? www.topcarguide.com/index.php?subj=list&app=413Neat that you are able to get one of these cars in the U.K. as I thought they were more of an Eastern European thing. Hope you do not have any issues getting thru the MOT and such. As far as Snow, well sometime later I will post up stuff about different tires(Tyres) to you. Again Welcome, like to hear from people from all around this globe we call home.

Hi justyfied, yes thats the same model of car as mine other than color and the steering is right hand drive. I am looking forward to tackling the snow this winter! Another reason for buying a small car is for economy,fuel prices are very high here in the uk. I normaly use a Honda C90,i think you call them a Passport,for my everyday runabout,Wow its good on fuel,about 100 mpg.A quick note,the UK gallon is bigger than a US gallon,crazy isnt it. These little bikes have become a cult bike the last few years and have become expensive to buy,ive had mine 26 yrs and its still reliable and economical,i use it most days. Its not any fun ridding my bike in winter and my camper van is no good in snow and ice hence the Justy. I take it you are based in USA justyfied? Safe driving to you all tom
