Hey guys,

 

I just wanted to post a thread introducing myself. I currently own a few cars, I'm looking for a new daily driver and the Subaru seems to fit the bill perfectly.

 

My car stable currently consists of my pride and joy 1992 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4, the project to rebuild and sell 1991 Dodge Stealth R/T TT, and the daily drivers: a 1994 Ford Tempo (4cyl Auto) and 1988 Chevy 1500 (v6).

 

I am looking to replace both the truck and the tempo with a nice Subaru, Now, as far as what model... thats where you guys can help me out. I really like the Loyale and Legacy models, but not sure whats best for gas mileage, performance, and reliability.

 

I am intriuged by the RX, b/c (if I understand correctly) this is a turbo model. As you can tell by my other vehicles... I love turbos.

 

I'm glad I found these forums and hope that I can contribute and meet up with you guys in the future, I'd love to own a boosted Subaru of the 80's or 90's. I'd like to keep the price cheap though so I will look to you guys for help on what it is exactly that I want... oh btw a manual is an absolute MUST.

 

Also, though I want this car for daily driving I do plan to auto cross it, so if theres a specific model that may shine it the light weight to power department please point me in that direction too. And since I live in MA... winter can and will be a PITA sometimes so a dependable 4wd subaru is a major plus as well.

 

Anyway, sorry for going on and on, hope to meet up with some of you guys sometime. Thanks!

RX, GL-10, and GL's (i think) were available with turbos. there are turbo and 6 cyl xt's available also. some of the early legacy's were turbo too. you can run the piss out of the ea82s (1.8 motor found in the old school loyale/rx/xt) so you might want to look into that if your main need is reliablility or if you dont want to spend a lot of cash . i would think the turbo legacys would offer a tad bit more performace. legacys are also known to be quite reliable.

 

part time 4wd can be found on the loyale series. fwd for good gas milage when youre not bogging through snow or mud. rx and gl-10 had fulltime 4wd (before it was called awd). later model manual rx's had dual range FT4wd. im not so familiar with legacy drivetrains. awd was available, but not 4wd (a button or a lever engages 4wd on the loyale series).

 

hope i was of some help! happy hunting!
