First of all thank you all for making this a great place to be to meet nice people or if you need some help with you Subaru.
I have been driving Subaru’s form the mid 1980 and they are great cars. It has always got me all the way up to the cabin, the few times it has got to the point that it has been to much snow or to much ice, I just had to back down, slap it from HI to LO and throttle away. BTW: there is about 400 meters I height difference from the road that is clear for snow by the plows and up to my cabin, so it’s steep!
I have always taken good care of my cars and never had one fail. All repair on the cars have been done at service intervals and the only thinks I can think of are Rocket cover seals, cam seals, CV boots. On the last 1996 I had both front axels replaced as they started to sing “click clack” at full lock.
I’m thinking of buying a used legacy. Here are the criteria’s:
Wagon, because I need the space.
HI/LO, because I need a lot of power at very low speeds.
I don’t care about looks, as long as it says Subaru at the backJ
Can somebody please recommend the best wagon/engine/mt combo? And do I want the interference or the not interference engine? Also if you recommend if you know options available on this car?
Tank you for reading this post.
