Subaru's are very reliable as long as they are taken care of, even WRX's. My former boss had a 02 WRX Wagon that he drove between Maine and Mass almost daily, he racked up 400,000 miles from 2002-2008, he still has the car and its still running like a champ. But like you said, Subaru parts are expensive when the need arises, about the same as VW parts. A Jetta or Golf Diesel is another great option, those go forever.

Craigs- The mazdaspeeds command a good premium, all the ones I've seen are out of my range- no doubt they're nice though. 9-2x's are a little hard to come across here and expensive too. WRX's I like but don't they get crappy mileage and aren't they not that reliable/ expensive to keep running? Ahh the mid 2000's Legacies are beautiful, but still high $$$. I like the wagon you posted, maybe you guys can reassure me about the Subies? I think Holley has one and he said its a little $$$ to keep running?

Posting Rules by Cliff Pennock
Keep it civilized!
It's ok to disagree with someone. Really, it is. But it's not ok to call someone a "toad licking monkey waxer" just because he disagrees. It'll make you actually look like one. Name-calling will most likely get you a bad rating. At the very least, it will cause the thread to end up in the Trash Can, and at its very worst it will get you banned.
Don't overuse your signature!
Using your signature once in a thread is usually enough. Also, be sure your signature complies with the signature rules

I'd prefer a sedan, but this falls into what I'm looking for.
Gokart- most of that is just too old. The only way I'd commute in a Fiero is if it was a 3800 swap with the bugs worked out, 5 grand can get me that but its slim pickins around here

Found a 9-2X for a little cheaper, miles are on the high side and stupid subs. But for under $3500 it wouldnt be bad.[This message has been edited by nitroheadz28 (edited 10-14-2013).]

What about a Ford Focus SVT or a Taurus SHO? Both and quick sporty sleepers that get good mileage, especially the Focus with the 6-speed

Was? I'm pretty sure the only reason he stuck around for the last little while was to screw with Stimpy.
Anyways, Tom, you should start to look further south for wheels. The market for what you're looking for is a bit more relaxed in a lot of areas.

Negative on the Focus, I just don't fancy them. Taurus SHO will be a gas hog, I'd rather go back to a grand prix.
