Subaru. All we'll drive.
Well, my wife will be driving quite shortly and we decided that a second vehicle was in order. We bought our Legacy with her in mind, so the second vehicle was going to be mine. Of course, it also had to be a Subaru. Afterall, it's all we'll drive. I began shopping and had a fleeting crush on a 1994 JDM WRX STi, but we decided on something a little more practical and finally decided on a 2002 WRX wagon. We picked it up last week and headed out on vacation, putting just over 2000 km on her in the first week, including just about 100km of gravel/single track and lots of sporty roads in BC. So far she's been a real champ and we are completely satisfied with our new purchase. We got back form vacation last night and I finally had some time to get her all cleaned up today.

I've experienced a few little moments, but nothing I (or more likely the AWD) couldn't handle. Definitely a good time! |

If you wanna get technical, Mazda has had teh RX line since the 70's, which is the first true 'Rex", Honda has had the CRX line since 83', and the idea that the WRX is a 'Rex" is a new thing, and WRX's have only been around since 92'... But hey, Subaru has the only actual 'rex' as a car. Looks pretty **** mean.. |

Speaking of which... I have a bunch of turbo stuff for the D16A6 that I never used... if ya know what I mean. |
Ah I love your Subi! I have one myself... a 2001 Legacy GT. Fun little car I have to say! Just having the dumb coolant/head gasket problem I think. Oh yeah and the clutch is starting to get iffy. But all in good time!

We've also got a 2000 Legacy GT sedan (hers), and seems to be having that dumb coolant problem as well. I've replaced the thermostat and coolant fluids but the computer continues to give me the same stupid error message (can't remember the exact message now). You have any more info on this? The issue seems to be fairly common I think. Is your Legacy a sedan or wagon? |
It's a Legacy sedan. 2.5i(obviously) So basically now my coolant has on it own gone above the full line by a solid 4 inches at least. It must be what I put in it when it was below full... Not sure where it went... This is all I know right now. I have an appointment at the local Subaru dealer on Monday. They will probably just end up adding a conditioner and putting a warranty on it. So I would recommend that. I heard this issue was recalled.. PM me if you dont want to spam your thread.
