A new Canadian SVX owner!
Hi, everybody! I'm glad to join the "network".
My name is Bruno and i'm a new SVX owner since march. I've bought a '92 LSi Teal SVX with 134 000 KM. Look brand new, even the leather is in mint condition! Only pay 6900$ (Canadian) for it and put 2000$ on repairs... Crank pulley, timing belt, a rear wheel bearing and a head gasket. Run great since the fixing has been done. Thanks to "Subaru de Repentigny" This dealer has a tech who know the SVX and for a car that is even more rare in Canada than in th US it's a valuable thing to have one near . I first bought that car has a winter beater because i'm not using my ' 95 Camaro during our hard canadian winter . After putting some km on it, I fall in love with the car and sold the Camaro to my father! I've always love the look of the SVX but there's not much here in Quebec. The only time i saw one, before getting mine, it was passing me by at over 200km/h on the freeway Since then I start to gather information on the model.... It perform well for a car that is 300lbs heavier than my camaro v6 3.8L! The 0-100km/h acceleration is quite the same but after the SVX take the lead and all I was seeing was the Camaro headlight in my rear view mirror hehe Like i've see somewhere in a magazine, "The SVX is one of the greatest cruiser of the galaxy" Some pics of my SVX and the already forgotten Camaro! The day I got my SVX /9084.jpg]pics1 The day I got my SVX /9083.jpg]pics2 The SVX in front of my house /9088.jpg]pics3 The SVX in the driveway /9085.jpg]pics4 The Camaro /9071.jpg]pics5 The Camaro and the SVX /9072.jpg]pics6 The Camaro, my dad and my dog /9075.jpg]pics7 For the rice... /9079.jpg]pics8 You'll probably see many grammatical and/or spelling mistake in my post. Sorry about that, but don't forget that my natural language his french |

I don't remember where I got this information but I think that only 1000 SVX were sold in Canada. This is why, I think, there's not too many poster from Canada... |

Welcome to the nut house Bruno. I don't think I've ever heard anyone refer to an SVX as a winter beater, but, OK. Glad you "fell" for the SVX and chose it over your Camaro. Now, if it was over a later '90s Camaro SS, then I'd say you were nuts... but I would still say the SVX is very cool and special... deserving much love and respect.

The insurance cost is lower for the SVX and I was tired of paying for a car that a I was just using only 5 month per year... but I agee with you, if i was having a SS and sell it for a SVX, you could call me a dumb ass master.... |
