Late 90’s 2.5L are the ones to be cautious about. The head gaskets fail around 100k. Imprezza’s will ride more sporty, and be much zippier, while the Legacy is a much smoother ride. I haven’t been in a Forester but have heard they ride a bit harsher than the legacy. Aside from the HG on the late 90’s 2.5L, Subarus are tanks. Very durable, and they avoid rust pretty well. My '96 Outback is a WNY car for it’s whole life and just started getting some rust on the lower door area on one side, but the chassis is still clean as a whistle. If you want something practical only, get a Legacy wagon/Outback. Tons of room. If you want something still reasonable but sporty and more fun to drive, go with an Imprezza wagon. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/looking-for-a-dd-subaru-guys-help/47667)._
