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.

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.

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

@chrisb2443 2 дня назад

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.

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 🚗

@davidhinkson8856 2 дня назад

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.

@williamwales6619 2 дня назад

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

Miss my wee Justy. I had a 1.2l 3 door back in the 90's. Fantastic little car with plenty of punch and a cracking sounding 3 cylinder engine. Enough room inside for my 6ft 3in frame!

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

We def need to bring back 90s fabric designs.

My Dad had an older 3 door Justy ECVT Automatic 4x4 1200cc 3 cylinder of I remember correctly, in farmers Moss Green. Very solid little car, the seats were a little lacking in support & padding from what I remember. The ECVT was the known weak link on these Justys many not making it past 20,000 miles ! The torque converter was had iron filing in it and a number of mechanics were known to have emptied out these working iron filings!

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

@scottishcarenthusiastsandtrain 2 дня назад

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

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.

@ianfrost3529 День назад

My uncle had one back in the day. The manual version. On top of the gear knob on the manual version had a red button on top of the gear lever. He told me it was button for the ejector seat if people annoyed hit. 😅

@phillipevans9414 2 дня назад

My sisters first car was a 1984 Subaru Sherpa (here in Oz) with a 665cc two cylinder engine and 4 speed manual, and I can tell you that it was an absolute hoot to drive, and could hit 140Kph (don't ask how I know I know) if you had a decent straight, as it ony weighed 650Kg. Too bad such simple, affordable and fun to drive cars are a thing of the past. Love this review, thanks Matt. Cheers!

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 😊👍

@iainmacleod4007 День назад

An ex girlfriend had one just over twenty years ago. It was a capable all wheel drive vehicle ideal for rough private roads in the Highlands of Scotland where we both lived. The only downside was like all Japanese vehicles of the era they were very rust prone. Hardly any left anywhere in Scotland now, corrosion claimed most of them.

@Andyface79 День назад

A small car we did get in the USA although in my neck of the woods (Kansas) I didn't see many. But my conformation teacher had one like this, a red facelifted one. I got a ride in it once, it seemed small but well built. I'm sure in the mountains these were more popular.

@ASCIITerminal День назад

My Dad had a manual one back in the day. It was so much fun to drive, and it literally would go anywhere! It's such a shame that so many of them have rusted away. I had one of the later Swift based ones, but they weren't as good.

@pizzalover3 День назад

Looks in as you say, new condition! Original unbranded wheel trims too. Very nice.

@NotRubensDad 2 дня назад

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.

@HWEder 2 дня назад

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

@michaelstaunton1632 2 дня назад

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

@tradeplatetravels 2 дня назад

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).

@Clappers89 2 дня назад

We need automakers to bring back proper decals on the side

@Slippingclutches91 2 дня назад

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.

@charliemansonUK 2 дня назад

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

@charliemansonUK 2 дня назад

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

@lesklower7281 2 дня назад

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

@davidrumming4734 День назад

I got to travel in a later model (mid 90s), with a 1.2 injection petrol, CVT auto, electronic switchable 2/4 wheel drive. It also had a lovely interior quality-way above what I was used to. I thought it was amazing…not the fastest, but very refined. I would have been very happy to own one back then. I think in more modern times they are a clone of the Toyota Aygo……to save money.

@tomwinch9107 День назад

Great review Matt To enlighten you on the storage dimples next to the parcel shelf - their so the diminutive rear seat passengers can safely keep their cigarette packets ... ;-)

@timboulton2054 2 дня назад

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.

@scott8919 2 дня назад

So glad to see it has a CVT.

@wickiezulu 23 часа назад

Wished Subaru developed a unique Justy replacement in the early-1990s that styling wise was essentially an enlarged supermini-sized Subaru Vivio with shades of mk1 Impreza instead of a rebadged Suzuki Swift. Especially if the 1.0-1.2-litre EF 3-cylinder motor grew to become a 1.3-1.6-litre 4-cylinder. It would have likely been very well-received with the motorsport antics of the Impreza and Vivio during the 1990s given it the rub and further enhancing its image as a left-field choice, similar to what SEAT experienced with the mk2 Ibiza or Skoda with the Favorit/Felicia in rallying.

@user-ih7gc7dt9l 2 дня назад

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

@eggy1962 2 дня назад

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

@mattw8332 2 дня назад

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

@robinhughes8822 12 часов назад

I don’t understand why we don’t buy small cars anymore,as soon as young people have a child they buy a horrible suv ,I went to the south of France with my wife and two children in a mk 2 950 cc fiesta popular with a tent on the roof rack 😂

Is it AWD on the side...or is it 4WD? I'm in the 4WD house myself😅

@davidgolding4713 10 часов назад

You’re correct….its 4WD! This was my car until I recently sold it to Stone Cold Classics and I replaced those decals on it too, as the originals were tired 👍
