my uncle has a pretty sweet '04 wrx sedan that's built a bit and runs pretty damn strong. fun little car. it's dialed in good and pulls hard with great manners for daily driving. not sure on his engine or turbo specs though.

EVILGMC got a SUBBY wagon. It's a neat little car but some of the replacement stuff can be expensive.

There can be a 2-5 day wait on parts because of were there major parts Warehouses are located.

We had one with and axle stub that welded it self to the hub when the bearing went out. We had to get a new Knuckle, Axle Bearing, Bearing C-Clip, Hub, and Axle. The Knuckle, Hub, and C-Clip were dealer only items and we could not locate good used one. We had to wait 2 bushiness days and I had to drive to the dealer in the afternoon so we could complete the repair by the end of the same business day.

In the past you needed a Subaru specific scanner for some of the more complex systems but lately Snap on and other scan tool manufactures have stepped up there game.

I have an 06 Forester XT (turbo)

Wife uses it as a daily and we auto-x it occasionally. We both love it. Basic mods and it is a mid 13 second car and very reliable.

Parents have a 2013 Outback. The vehicle is really nice and well put together. People that typically buy a Subaru, keep them forever. They keep on running so long that people usually hand them down to a kid or relative when it reaches around 300K miles lol.

my buddy is selling his 2010 WRX blue, loves it, but wants to buy a house now. I love that car, very comfy and decently quick.
