[80 SUBIE]

I had a 1980 GL (IIRC) hatchback. My plates were 80 SUBIE. I'm on the verge of getting a new Forester so will likely be asking some pre purchase questions. And, sadly, I no longer have the hatchback.

G'day & Welcome aboard!

Hi and welcome! Our first Sub was an '81 GL hatchback. Our first impression was how much better FWD handled snow in Buffalo than all the RWD cars. That car was the first of a steady stream of Subs, now in its 37th year with our '17 Touring Forester, waiting for its first WNY Lake Effect storm. BTW, that question mark after your 4spd fits me also--our's was stick, but don't recall if it was 4- or 5-spd.

That was such a rugged little car. I really liked it, moved up to an early Montero and am now finally getting back to the Subarus.

I had an 81' GL hatchback, with an assortment of body panel colors due to me being young lol, called it the mountain car. Welcome

And I'm back. Took delivery of a 2019 Forester Sport today. Now I can ask new owner questions!
