[QUOTE="ollie989898, post: 3220000, member: 54866"] Had a 3 litre Leggy for good few years. Most competent car I ever had. On the right road it was a weapon. 25mpg but never got board of a flat 6 howl. The later diesel engines are better, early ones prone to snapping the crank! Use the right oil in them and service on the dot. Best ask best boots to use as the continentals my car came on were hopeless in the wet. Imprezas and older Scoobs were let traditionally let down by the cabin, well equipped but a bit naff generally, Subaru have upped their game a lot since then, now easily a match for any Ford or usual mass market fodder. Only a Scoob owner could testify to this, but there is a bit of Fuji heavy industries magic in every one. I think the designers must have some snowy Japanese mountain road in mind because I have driven a lot of cars and I can tell you that even the most bog standard non-blown 2.0 Scoob Impreza from 1996 on bald tyres can take you around a snowy corner with all the grace of a Russian figure skater no matter what, it's just in their DNA. The Diesel boxer is a lovely unit, turbine like and seems a weird one as it likes the revs which peculiar for a modern diesel. Can be remapped and a new intercooler can unleash a few more of the all important Torques. New CVT auto has paddles to aid the sporting driver. Interior on most has been revamped now, leather, heated seats, automatic climate control and sat nav built in on a lot of them. Only downside with Subaru cars is that parts prices can be expensive as there are few outlets for non-genuine parts- Ford, GM and VAG parts are churned out by the bucketload by countless companies.
