If I was without kids it would have been on my radar a couple years ago. Maybe you can even get a good deal on the Scion since they are now donzo.
FRS/BRZ have Subaru engines. No thanks.
It's really amazing here on BITOG when a motor has a problem a model year or two-how some think it's never addressed and goes on for perpetuity. I will take new Subaru over your Toyota which has over 200,000 miles on it.....
Yeah if it were free I'd take a new Subaru over my car too.
All I've heard about with Subarus is years and years of head gasket issues, oil burning, and random engine failures. I personally wouldn't buy one.
Bad motors must be the best kept secret around. Nothing but record sales the past nine years-
Subaru, the only Japanese brand that didn’t experience a U.S. sales slide during the financial crisis, will finally see tight supply crimp volume growth in 2016.
The all-wheel-drive specialist forecasts another year of record sales -- its eighth straight year of records and its ninth year of increases.
Seems to be a best kept secret of "bad motors" -or the owners your talking too are doing something terribly wrong.
