Subaru fans are a loyal bunch of folks, but which one of you Subie stans is loyal enough to snatch up this 1993 Subaru Loyale? You’ll surely Impreza all the other Subie heads at the local car meet. Listed with just 46,513 miles on the odometer, this 30-year-old masterpiece of hard angles still has a long life ahead of it. If there are any trendy hipsters looking for a quirky classic that’s efficient, compact, reliable, and unusual then look no further.
It’s the epitome of bare-bones motoring, but it still includes desirable features like an AM/FM stereo (no CDs or cassette players here,) air conditioning, power steering, power windows, original hubcaps, and a retro three-speed automatic transmission. Unfortunately this Loyale doesn’t stay loyal to Subaru’s legendary symmetrical all-wheel drive, this little sedan is front-wheel-drive only. It has those oh-so-’90s motorized seatbelts, and no airbags, so it also doesn’t stay loyal to Subaru’s modern commitment to safety.
This pristine Loyale is listed for sale at Dimmitt Chevrolet of Clearwater, Florida for the reasonable price of $5,555. That price seems like a steal for a sub-50k-mile car, and given the near-new condition of this classic it should be a no-brainer for some lucky buyer out there. If you’ve had enough of modern cars and their wretched touchscreens, voice assistants and 10-speed automatics, then this is your dream car.
Back in this era, Subaru was known for its gauge-pod-mounted controls. The climate controls are just a short reach away from the steering wheel making it easier for drivers to keep their eyes on the road. The gray cloth interior appears to have withstood the chaos of the last 30 years with fewer wrinkles than most 30-year-old humans, and it even has frameless doors!
Under the hood, you will find a 1.8-liter flat-four engine that’s hidden by a diminutive space saver spare wheel, another bygone trait of ‘90s Subarus. According to Dimmitt Chevrolet’s website, the price includes a retail readiness service that included “mechanical, safety, and cosmetic services performed to make the vehicle retail ready.” All that comes together to mean one thing; if you aren’t a speed demon and you want a reliable and affordable runabout, then this Loyale is ready to be your new loyal automotive companion.
