goatman Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 So when I graduate here in the spring I am thinking of upgrading from the 84. I have driven the 84 for 7 years and it has been a great car for the $800 I paid for it. Its really starting to show its age with the rust all the way through in a few places, and it doesn't have the pep it used to. The beast has 277K though so its been a trooper. I am trying to decide what I should get to replace it... Heres my ideas 90-94 legacy wagon 95-99 legacy wagon 9?-200? Impreza Outback sport or 2.5rs (the sport wagon one) 2002-? WRX wagon (I like wagons) What year did they fix the 2.5 motor with the head gasket problems and the clutch shudder? I would like to get something in the 2000s but don't know about the cost and the reliability of the newer motors. My brother has a 94 legacy that runs like a champ so thats an option. I'd really like to get a WRX but don't know how much more a used one would cost and I think insurance would be more. I'm kinda a cheap-skate but I'm willing to buy a newer vehicle if I know I will get years of reliable service out of it. So, what do you guys think? Even though I'm not purchasing for several months I thought I should at least start looking at what some of these vehicles cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVOthis Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 i like 2.2 L....I have 185,000 on my 96 legacy and it still runs great...me personally i tend to shy away from the 2.5 because i have had some bad luck when it comes to timing belts.....96 2.2 is non interference...when (and correct me if im wrong) all 2.5 Liters are interference......just my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
