Just bought this Justy over the weekend to replace my WRX wagon. The WRX is fun in its own way and very useful, but just sucks down the gas-- 22 mpg if I drive it nice, 17 if I don't. I've had my eye on a variety of economy cars (I'm a long time Ford Escort guy), but I came across this listing by accident and it was too good to pass up. '91, fuel injected, 5-speed 4WD Justy. Here's a picture from when I picked it up in Tampa. The tires are so small I could barely tighten the straps enough to hold the tires tight to the dolly. It was also tough to line the car up with the dolly ramps since it's so narrow. Towed OK 70 mph, though the WRX was pretty much on the edge of boost the whole time. I think I got less than 15 mpg towing the Justy home from the other side of the state. All it needs before I transfer it to daily driver status is a front wheel bearing on the drivers side. I'm planning to do that this weekend. Then I have another project car to finish up and sell. After that, I'll put some work into the WRX and prepare that for sale. If you guys are familiar with Grassroots Motorsports Magazine, the WRX is a project car from the mag. I worked there as online editor until earlier this year. Anyway, that's my Justy. I'm hoping to add a roof rack. Looks like the Yakima 1A will attach to the Justy's rain gutters, and I can stick my bike or canoe on that. My 17-foot canoe looked ridiculous strapped to the Miata I used to own, so I'm looking forward to the looks I get with it on the Justy.

Congrats, that looks like a really nice justy.
There is a factory roof rack too, but you won't have an easy time finding one.
