    A few lads before last winter up around Wicklow way were looking for a commuter wagon if the snow came again.
    For something like that an older Subaru Legacy, Outback or Forester would be nicer ;).

    My dad had two of these when I was a kid, two ****eboxes! Good memories though one clutch went in the Dublin mountains and the other ones exhaust fell off on the motorway. One time the window wipers packed in and my dad had to drive home with his head out the window in the pissing rain! Much to the amusement of the rest of the family smile.pngsmile.png

    Nice looking Subaru with a new test.
    No mention of miles. Looks pretty unmolested though.

    Full disclosure here (it is my car). It must go because I got something else! (hint in the Photos!). There is room for discussion in the price given the back tyres aren't wonderful.

    Better to pick up a set of 15s and use them instead!

    all 1.5 and 1.6 Subarus Should be SHOT in a face and burried somewhere deep in ocean.

    It's not their fault they have bigger "spoilers" than you.

    They are that "shiet" i would put.

    Putting 1.5/1.6 engine in to heavy AWD chassis is the dumbest thing anyone could do.

    *It is as thirsty as 2.0 turbo WRX, but totally gutless
    * It is all show and no poke. Like having A Porn Star, but with all holes plugged up.
    *Some people call Boxer engines "soft", Some poeple can feck off. Though 1.6 is not the best choice for the job in the first place.

    Models with the 1.6l engine came only as 2WD AFAIK.

    For most of people looking for that model, cheaper tax, affordable insurance and reliability is higher on the priority list than the racing pedigree ;).

    I see. So from a bangernomics point of view its a bad choice due to poor fuel economy.
    I don't put to much emphasis on poke when looking for bangernomics.
    But that's only me. Different strokes I guess.

    Only the newer ones are 4WD then. So it makes it even worse. a 2WD subaru...

    Cheaper tax? by 200eu per year? Its MPG is as bad as WRX. Reliability wont be any better.

    At work there are 2 Subarus. My one 2.0 WRX and 07 1.6 STI replica ( or 1.5 cant remember ). The fella Who owns it get so much slagging even today. His car already has problems and he puts same amount of petrol in to it. His car is only 400eu per year cheaper then my one. ( tax+insurance ).

    For the love of god, if someone wants Subaru, then at least you should go for WRX. In my case i wanted WRX ( even if i could aford STI ), because it has Leather heated seats, all electrics, normal non agony range suspension, enough power to over take micras. Sti is lovely, but not for daily use.

    I've driven two 1.6 Subaru's and there was plenty enough poke for what it is.

    As regards a 2.0 turbo being the same as a 1.6 on fuel, frankly that's utter bollox.
