I've been wanting a Subaru for a few years. I've been loathe to give up my truck though. I've got many motorcycles and a GIANT Irish Wolfhound. I've been wanting a Baja or Legacy GT if they still make it. I've noticed on the forum that the 2.5 is tarnishing Subarus reputation a little. I'll be pulling a trailer. Will that hasten the head gasket problem. Did the 05 redesign help the HG problem. Will the manual tranny be the best for towing? Who makes a 2'' reciever hitch? I'll keep the trailer @1000lbs or under as I still have an old 1ton. I can replace a clutch but I'd hate to think what an automatic costs to replace.
