Thanks, I read somewhere (which i cant find right now) that in 97+ the engines are interference. Is this true? Why are 96- non interference. I'd rather stick with the non interferance incase a timing belt decides he doesn't like me.
96 5 spd legacy obw 2.2
96 auto legacy obw 2.5
96 was the last year of the non-interrference 2.2, great car, took me a while to find mine, I wanted 2.2 with cold weather package and factory upgraded stereo.

Subaru's are cheaper to maintain than the Audi's from what I hear, too.

Hey, if you come out to Boulder next year, you'll see plenty of Subaru's. Sometimes it seems like every other car is a Subaru here. Some good independent shops, as well as lots of individual mechanics who are good at subaru's, if you do need work done. My dad has a '96 OBW with the 2.2 and 5 speed, and he's got 160k miles on it now. Definitely would be my almsot first choice in a subaru (after an '89 GL, because '89 was the last year with dual range 4wd)
