grizzlypaugh Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Hi, im new to subarus i have always liked them, I think that a subaru with the hi/low selection with a 5speed fuel injected is where it is lol so my question is are they cheap to work on? and are they good on gas even if they are running 29s? and one more, usually there are certain cars that a better if you can find them, is there a subaru that is better than most if you can find them? like have better factory stuff or something? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markus56 Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 to answer your question, yes. if you're looking for a daily driver, get a gen 1 legacy. p.s. punctuation is there for a reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grizzlypaugh Posted April 7, 2010 Author Share Posted April 7, 2010 hahahaha thanks for answering my questions now a little more details on my last question would be great. and what mileage you guys see? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markus56 Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 (edited) Just like any other car, they are cheap to work on, as long as they don't break. the price of parts depends on where you buy. if you like self service junkyards, you're in luck. a fuel injected D/R subaru is a good choice, and i get around 27 mpg on my wagon with 30's. As for the extra's they are pretty much all the same. if you are a fan of cup holders, dont buy anything older than a legacy Edited April 7, 2010 by Markus56 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markus56 Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 dual range transmission, i.e. hi/low range also, we have a search function if you haven't seen it at the top of the page. comes in handy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grizzlypaugh Posted April 7, 2010 Author Share Posted April 7, 2010 oh ok, is there stuff to look for when lookin at subaru's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markus56 Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 the main thing is rust and T.O.D. hit up the chat room and we can talk more subaru http://www.worldwidecm.com/chat/index.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivantruckman Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 (edited) exterior rust is not too bad, check underneath look at the front and real frame rails . stay away from turbo cars. . IMHO. as for tires I'm running 24 inch , and i had to put in a 2 inch quick lift to fit them, 29 or bigger would require a 4 inch lift, and or allot of fender trimming and inner floor pan adjusting, so you wont rub fully turned and suspension fully compressed. others may disagree Edited April 7, 2010 by ivantruckman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
