How about those WRX's?
#22
Ask any Subaru Mechanic, how old is your Mom's?
Really there is a huge issue. In 2004 they started adding stop leak to the coolant which solves the issue but then eats away at the rad.
Ah but the issue is only on the NA models apparently the Turbo's are ok... possibly only the turbo 2.0L?
And once they crack, they just keep cracking

this is the first time I heard about that.
I have doubts about the 2.5L turbo - I look at it as a first year production car mechanically.
But the beefier WRX seems appealing.
Any other options? I am getting to a stage where I am attracted to MiniVans.
Hey, I haven't seen any new GTi's on the road. Are they selling any yet?
