The clutch had to be changed.
Needed new CV boots on both front axles
(Still using original CV axles).
Exhaust system was rusted out.
Minor surface rust.
Both camshaft seals were leaking oil.
Oil pump.
New struts.
Transmission main bearings worn.
Excellent reliable car.
Lots of room for driver and passenger.
Backseat area is small, not good for tall people.
The whole inside of this car is cool, it looks like you are sitting in the cockpit of a jet.
This car takes off fast and can lay a 45 foot patch of rubber with both front tires.
Passing cars on the highway is no problem, but acceleration slows down after 160KPH.
I've had this car up to 220 KPH with the engine at redline.
I wonder if the new subaru WRX is as reliable as this car is.
Well.. I haven't found any reviews on a Subaru XT.. but maybe you can help..
Comparison.. how is it to this car? (if you know..)
And all I know about this XT is it's 5spd... and it's 4cyl.
