This has been a great car. Ive owned it for 6 years and put 100k miles on it. Like all Subarus it is AWD, it is a manual and has a lot of storage, especially with the backseats down. It handles really well in the snow. It has really good fuel economy, I usually get 29 mpg (note that I do a lot of highway driving). The interior is very clean (could use a light vacuuming) with minimal wear and tear. It just passed an emissions test in May. The motor seems to run really well. That all being said there are several issues: - Needs a new water pump (might as well do the timing belt with it) - The power steering is not great (I never had it diagnosed, might need a new pump) - The AC does not work (when I looked into it, I noticed a bad leak, might just need new rubber gaskets) - The gearshift is loose - There is minor body damage, some of which is documented in photos (scuffs on bumpers, rust on back hatch, chips in paint, faded paint on hood, the smalls spots all over the car are pollen and wash off)
