Thanks! I hope I can keep mine going that long! Mine has about 14,500 on it. Reading some XV threads here & on other forums, that seems to be just enough to break it in & get the glitches/bugs worked out. Hopped in it & immediately the avg. MPGs shot up to 29 combined city/highway...of course, I learned to be *really* gentle w/ the accelerator in the WK, but I've been trying to really put her through the paces, pushing it around corners & such.
Just out of curiosity, how much work (above & beyond normal matienence) have you had to put into your Impreza to keep it running for this long? Before my WK, I had a '02 Nissan Altima that was just a moneysink...seemed like every week or every other week something big &/or expensive was failing or breaking. Got rid of it just shy of 110K...it's hard for me to accept that when I had a Ford Explorer in high school that made it to 190K (before I killed it w/ a deer).
