2.2L motors with turbo are rock solid.

Subaru and rock solid aren't known to be synonymous

unfortunately the ones that do blow up are the ones that have been tinkered with usually or neglected.


These early 90's, late 80's cars are crazy reliable.

Agreed. Had the box legacy a few years back. I think it was at something stupid mileage 300k+. Not a single quibble with it. Now on a early 2000s legacy with the notorious ej25 engine and it's almost at 300k. Just the one fatal flaw being the head gasket. Get er done and it'll likely go forever.

STi V3 and up tend to blow up.


Besides the inevitable headgasket issues, the more mods on the motor, the more likely it'll blow.


pretty sure the stock EJ's run for a long time if they get regularly looked at and serviced in stock form.

Badhobz 05-16-2017 04:16 PM

i always wanted a subaru for a daily driver but people told me to stay away and stick to toyotas for reliability. Do WRX's make decent daily drivers if not modified or abused? do you need turbo timers to protect it?

bcuzracecarz 05-16-2017 04:35 PM

What tofu said, in stock form and looked after they're great! And no, you don't need a turbo timer

I've been looking for foresters for awhile. Is there a way to distinguish if it's an XT if you couldn't see the badge?

TouringTeg 05-16-2017 06:57 PM

crx 88 Victoria City, Victoria - MOBILE

Price drop on that CRX 4500 with repaired tach (new cluster?) or 3600 obo non working tach.

It was for sale months ago as well and the ad was removed.

Ya, different motor and turbo. But from ad, are there any distinguishing features?

I think my fav is the 2nd Gen forester, specifically 06-08, after facelift. But impossible to find haha
