i researched this HG issue heavily after hearing horror stories from a friend who went through two separate instances on a 96 and i believe 98 legacy outback. so i waited and waited for a manual impreza outback sport with the EJ22 and it was well worth the wait. got it with 75,000 and now at 150,000 and charging strong. best car i have ever owned. i will definitely buy another. hopefully they ironed out all the issues with the EJ25 on newer models or im going for a wrx.
gary thanks for droppin knowledge on the subject. im helping a different friend purchase a subi and explained the HG issues but wanted to give some other feedback from more experienced folks on this topic.
