So my roommate had one of these and it was great durring the winters up here in New Hampshire. The problem: boy did that engine need constant maintenance after it hit 100k. He ended up selling it for more than it should have been worth.

So this problem isn’t unique to Subarus. Way back in highschool my best friend/ride got into and drove away his ‘96 corolla from the grocery store only to realize that it was not his car when he went to put a CD into his Walkman and there was no Walkman.
