The more we go on, the more I begin to feel that cars reached the peak of design in the 90s/ early 2000s, and since then cars have just got worse - more complex, less fun, full of superfluous tech you don't need and hideously expensive.

[@chrisb2443]

Good memories of the mid 90’s when my dad had one as a courtesy car. I remember the engine sounding really cool being a 3-cyl, which were not as common as they are now. I can see why they would be popular now.

[@paulquinn9922]

I used to work in the dealer network back in the day, loved these things!

[@stephenjcuk7562]

Around 2002 my Dad bought one of these second hand as it was the most unloved car on the forecourt and it was affordable. Seven years later he was distraught when it finally wore out. A great car.

[@FeathersMcGinty]

I absolutely LOVE these. Had a P reg one I bought in about 2010 and I was devastated when we eventually had to part company. It did everything from taking loads of kit all over the UK to making it off muddy fields when Landrovers couldn't 😅 RIP lil Justy 🚗

[@williamwales6619]

Finally, Matt you are sitting in my ideal family car. I have actually had a drive in one of those and i was mighty impressed. If it wasn't for the fact that it is at the other end of the country i would be seriously interested in it. As it happens i was looking for a replacement for my daily and this would have done me nicely. Anyways thanks for the vid. See you in the next one. Later

[@davidhinkson8856]

I drove one of these briefly in 1992, a one liter manual, and I must say it was one of the most enjoyable smaller cars I have ever driven. Haven't seen one in the wild for years.

[@bamboocarman2335]

Your note on important consumer advice re loading washing machines was amusing, a Ray of sunshine on an overcast autumnal day here in the north. Thanks 😊👍

[@HWEder]

A colleague had one and it was superb in heavy snow being the perfect combination of auto and 4wd

[@rhspek]

Back in the day my brother and had the use of a press car for a weekend, to write a report for the DAF Club Nederland magazine. This was, with the Uno Selecta, one of the first production cars with a modern compact cvt as invented by Hub van Doorne, founder of DAF and inventor of the Variomatic. We also 'tested' the Uno Selecta in that period and visited Williams F1, as they were also experimenting with cvt.

[@NotRubensDad]

If I had the money and the space I would love one of these, like the spiritual ancestor to my Suzuki Ignis. Small rurally useful cars are just lovely things.

[@grayfool]

I would rater have a car from the nineties than just about any new one. Definitely the peak era for me.

[@scottishcarenthusiastsandtrain]

An excellent road test Matt, was great to have a look at this at Rustival.

[@Clappers89]

We need automakers to bring back proper decals on the side

[@scott8919]

So glad to see it has a CVT.

[@lesklower7281]

We never got these in Australia and of course from the greatest decade for vehicles the 1990s and this Subaru Justy a fine example of a 1990s car and selectable four wheel drive and we did own a Suzuki Swift from the 1990s

[@tradeplatetravels]

Thanks Matt for a lovely video and for reviewing the Justy! I had the opportunity to buy a manual one of these as my first car, back in 1999. It was a white F-reg for £795 but had quite a lot of rust, and I rather boringly decided it was too much of a risk. In hindsight I so wish I'd been less sensible and just gone for the rusty Justy! It probably would have been fun (until it disintigrated).

[@Slippingclutches91]

These were everywhere on Exmoor growing up. Probably helped by the fact there is a Subaru dealer in the heart of Exmoor. I nearly had acouple as field cars. But went with 2 Lada Nivas then a defender instead.

[@michaelstaunton1632]

Enjoying the content on the channel keep up the good work 👍👍👍

[@mpersad]

What a charming car, someone's going to get a little gem! Great video, thanks Matt.

[@richardhowlett7398]

I wanted the purple 1998 Justy in the concurs section at FOTU .

[@silversubaru590]

ive owned a couple of these in the past ,,great little cars..

[@charliemansonUK]

My mates mum had one of these (but in mk1 form) back in the day, i loved it and have always wanted one

[@charliemansonUK]

Ohh and they were farmers and bought it and the subaru pickup from the agricultural dealers, they sold them alongside the tractors!

[@eggy1962]

Im old fashioned in that i believe the indicators should be on the right in a right hand drive car.

[@timboulton2054]

Ive had a few of these and they are awesome in the snow. Just be aware that ECVT goes wrong at about 30k miles and you are left with no drive. Brill car but id go manual gearbox.

[@user-ih7gc7dt9l]

That particular one with its cvt might be really good off road.

[@patricksadler3587]

My mum had one it was epic car and it was an auto too

[@mattw8332]

The bottom half the dashboard looks like the Vauxhall Nova one (Opel Corsa A), especially the glovebox lid.

[@TrevorBuick]

Yes please, proper old skool cool Subaru, my cars are Subaru, TVR and French, but am due a Mazda,

[@dinointhetube]

Reminds me abit like Toyota Starlet also.👍

[@fhwolthuis]

That's a really nice car ☺️

[@jimhartland1939]

Probably the best car I've owned. If you want to sell im interested

[@nakoma5]

Virtually extinct in US, the few that sold mostly rusted away. ) =

[@nipperdawg1865]

[@billgriffiths1685]
