Very nice car, congratulations!

Do you have pictures of your cars? Espessially of the Rotary? Greetings

In Austria these cars are so rare that you will get nearly 2500 Dollar for it. Greetings Lukas

Hi Andrzej! Welcome! I am also from Europe, from Austria as you can see. And my Subaru Leone is also from 1989. In austria the Leone is nearly died out. Since I have bought my Soob 2 month ago, I have seen only 2 other Leones on the streets. The biggest enemy of this old Soobs is the rust. Do you speak German? Maybe a little bit? What Subaru model do you drive? Also a Leone? Greetings to Poland from Austria Lukas

In Europe, all Leone GL models had that high roof.

Hi Guys! Now I have better pics of my Leone. Here we go: Today it has 39.049 kilometers done . These are 24.405 miles. Greetings Lukas

Congratulations! Greetings Lukas P.S.: We want pictures !!!

Hi! I thougt, it is owned in Austria because it has a new "Salzburg-Land"-registration. Greetings P.S.: What means IIRC? Sorry, but I really dont know:confused:

Does anyone know the owner of this red Soob on this picture? It is registered in Austria, not far away from my place. I want to contact this guy! Greetings

Hi! I am going to change all the belts. These belts are 15 years old! 1 Liter Gas 95Roz costs 1,1 Euro (~ 1,5 Dollar). Greetings

Hi! I live in East-Austria, named Styria. As I said before, older Soobs are nearly died out here. The color of my Soob is calles "Jade-Green". The winters in our region are very hard. Lots of snow, ice and wind. My father hat a Leone from 1988 until 1994, but after 6 years (and 6 winters) this soob was so badly rusted, that we had to put it on the scrapyard. I do not drive my Soob very often, because I want to keep it in this good condition. On the second pic, you can see a litte pit of my daily driver, a dark green Mitsubishi Montero. And that silver car in front is my dads daily driver, a Toyota Landcruiser Prado. Greetings Lukas

and a bad pic from the front: Better pics when weather is better . Greetings

Buy it, if you can;) ! Greetings, Lukas P.S.: You will never ever find such a super Soob in Austria:banghead:

Hi Guys! I was talking about the socalles EA82 models. To summ it up a little: The Leones 1985 until 1989 were available as DL, GL and STD The Loyale was available only from 1989 until 1994 without the high roof This modelline is called EA82. In Austria, the Leone was available from 1985 until 1991. From 1985 until 1987 there was a 1600DL - model, wich was very naked inside and with the old engine from the EA81. Also from 1985 until 1989 the 1800 was available as DL, GL and GLT (Turbo). The GL and GLT had the high roof and more velours. And from 1989 until 1991 only the socalled Leone Ranger DL was available. This model had no velours, no high roof and was more rustproof then the models before 1989. The EA81 was calles 1600/1800 in Austria, only the EA82 1985-1991 was called Leone. Greetings and thank you Lukas

I asked him, if he has problems with the language (english), that i am happy that he found this board and that it is amazing, that old Soobis have so much Fans all over the world

Welcome! German: Servus Stefan! Freut mich, dass du hierher gefunden hast. Wie gehts dir mit dem Englisch? Ich hab keine Probleme, Gott sei Dank. Is schon ein Hammer, wie viele Fans des Leone es hier gibt, was? Greetings

Hi! I have seen many Subaru Loyales on the internet. What is the difference between the Loyale und the Leone? There are 2 different types of the Leone in Austria: The DL, wich has no high roof, no headrests in the backseats, no rev counter, no electric windows and more plastic inside The GL has this high roof, all electric inside, and more velour Is this similar to the US-models? Greetings Lukas

Sorry for my wrong words. I think, a self shifter is called manual transmission in the US. Lukas

Hi:) ! My Soob has only been driven in a small city and on short trips around this town. There are no problems I need to address, its been maintained very well. I only need to chance the timing belt before the winter comes, because I do not drive my Soob in winter. There is so much salt on our winterly streets. And this salt is the reason, why the older Soobs are nearly died out here. I will take pictures of my Soob next week and put them in here. Greetings Lukas:cool:

Thank you for your welcomes:banana: ! My Subaru is a "Alpin - Spezial Edition", painted in socalled "Jade-Green" with sidestripes in gold/silver. It also has a high roof and FWD/4WD High/4WD Low. Its a self shifter, not an automatic transmission. I have been searching 1 1/2 years to find a Subaru Leone in good condition in Austria. My biggest fear is, that my car gets chrashed, because I am not sure if I can find another Leone in good condition in Austria:banghead: ... My daily driver is a Mitsubishi Pajero (Montero) with a 2,5 Litre Diesel Engine and short wheelbase. It was never imported to the US in this configuration. I drive my Leone only when the weather is good and noch for long distances, because I want to keep it in this good condition with only ~22.000 Miles on its back. I bought it from a 83 years old man, and so is its condition;) . Are there many old Subarus in the US? Greetings to all Subaru-Fans all over the world!!! Lukas

Hallo! I registered right now and want to introduce myself: My name is Lukas and I live in Austria (not Australia;) ) in Europe. I am a Subarufan since my father bought one in 1988 and I wanted to own one since I am 10 Years old. 3 Month ago I had the chance to buy a 1989 Subaru Leone 1,8 Injection Super Station GL with 39.000 Kilometres (~ 22.000 Miles) on its back. The car is nearly free of rust and in very good condition. I paid ~ 3000 Dollar, wich is a good price for this Subaru in Austria. Subarus before 1991 are very rare in Austria. They are all rusted away very quickly. Many people on the streets don´t know what car I drive, because they are nealy died out here. There are also no fans of this Subaru in Austria. I am so happy that I found you guys in the net. There is no Internet Community or this early Subarus in Europe. No Fans at all, as I said. Sorry for my bad english, but my motherlanguage here is german, but I learned english in school for 8 years. Good bye and greetings to you all over the World Lukas
