pwoens Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 Which year, model, trans, and motor is/was the best combo subaru has put together?? From what I gather the 2.2 and manual tranny sounds like the most reliable combo, and the 2.5 DOHC with auto was the least reliable?? Im looking at getting the best possible rig I can for my wife and two small daughters. It seems like anything with a 2.2 has high mileage around here. I can find a couple of 2.5's with low mileage but the experts on here say stay away So what should I look for?? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2.5 is not that bad of an engine, you can get them for a good price and just plan for the $1200 head gasket fix. Then if if they go you are ready for it. They have great power and you can even fix them before it is an issue and be ahead of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
