Nothing has gone wrong with this car. If the reliability of my 1993 Legacy Sport Sedan is any indication, I won't have any reliability problems for years to come. My 1993 had over 282,000 miles when I traded it for the WRX.
I can see why the WRX won the World Rally Championship several years in a row. If I get any traffic tickets with this car, it will more likely be on the back roads rather than the highway. For more information go to the Subaru High Mileage Club at http://www.subaruhighmileageclub.com.
Great cars really. People may complain about mpg, but you have to consider it's an AWD drive car and those little boxer engines put out horsepower and torque numbers (don't have the specs right now) that not too many other little four bangers can match.
I agree. Even though it is a small car it's hauling around all the AWD equipment. My base engine Impreza is the same way. Not the best gas mileage, but I have the security (and fun) of AWD.
If you want to avoid high speed ticket and go to the rally, be prepared to overhaul suspension and engine every few sessions. Without suspension and chassis upgrades it will break in the stock form.
