Hi, i just buy a Subaru Sambar 1993 pickup. 30,000 km, 5 speed, carburated 4wd. What is the weakness of this truck and do i need to know any specific info for reliability?
If you stay within the intended and designed speeds (30-80km/h), then it will be extremely reliable assuming you keep up with the routine maintenance. If you want to go 100km/h+ often, then you really need an oil cooler. This is not really a Sambar thing, but really any Kei truck/van will greatly benefit from an oil cooler at US highway speeds.
