Posted by bandi LOL- if there's no golden retriever included, make sure the car has the dog barrier delete option. I love Subarus. Aside from the head gasket issues, they are a pretty much bulletproof car, and they're so simple to work on (manual transmission with a dipstick? Heck yeah!). I've had a 2000 Impreza 2.5RS and a '96 Impreza Outback wagon. That wagon had around 400,000 miles on it when I sold it and it was still working great.

even i am a big fan of Subarus... The only bitch about them here is the damn corrosion. My favorites, aside from the Impreza, was always the DL/Loyale. What could you do to this car to stop it other than set fire to it? My friend Matt blew a home in the block when a rod let go (apparently he didn't realize that internal combustion engines require motor oil as a lubricant). So he reaches through the hole, unbolts what's left of the connecting rod, welds a plate over the exit hole and drives the car for another week.
Yeah, on three cylinders... If I hadn't seen him do it, i would've called bullshit too.
i've seen a DL go into a ravine on its roof, get yanked out by its rear axle on it's roof, six drunk hillbillies roll it back over on its wheels and drive it 25 miles home.
if volvos are tanks, then the Subaru is a goddamn armored personnel carrier.
