Im not too sure I would want to road trip or fly or pay to have a vehicle sent up to me. If I did then I would look in florida near my brother and make a vacation out of it. I like the idea of them being in better shape but for a 2nd car I couldnt justify a long trip

I had driven a stick in snow on a different awd platform for a couple years, and it was a blast. I was so comfortable in that car, perhaps too comfortable but I hope to like this awd system also. A forester is seeming to be a better choice even though a wrx has been on my list. Better to avoid issues and spending more money when I will be limited.

I probably wont mod the subaru, I have a 2012 Mustang GT as my 1st car that I have spent some money on and would mod up vs the subaru for now. I would definitely play with the subaru in the snow, mud, and dirt. It might be better to get a different model subaru that would be more reliable like you mentioned, so I will look into expanding my search. I appreciate all of the help so far!

Im from michigan so we do have the rust problem. I just need something for 4 years while I begin and finish my final half of school. I appreciate the input and will add all that to my list. Thanks

Hello, I do not currently own a subaru but will be looking for a cheaper 2nd car as a back up/winter. I have liked the thought of having a Subie for a while but ended up with a different cars when the time has come around. I wont actually get one for a while but figured I would ask and research early on. I will be on a limited budget but would preferably like a wrx(although a sti would be great) and it has to be stick shift. I anticipate a budget of atleast 4k but wont go over 6k or so, what range of years should I start looking at and what things should I look out for? Thank you very much! I appreciate the help and look forward to learning and eventually joining the family.
