9 yrs, 162000 mi, beat up as hell.

mr.alcheng- the subaru's ive own all broke down or had problems so i am not very convinced of your statement. on the other hand, both Fits ive owned have had no issue. plus, the way subaru treated me over the years, i should not even be looking at their line up. :mad: :icon17:

but due to the fact that i made myself review all potential hatches in the price range (especially those made in japan), i have forced myself to look at subaru and mazda.

i think while the impreza is potentially a better hatch with everything considered it is still a risk for me (especially if cvt), it is more expensive so i need to find justification why im spending $6K more on a hatch that im not going to really enjoy anyway. :rofl2:

at the end of the day, i think im going to get the FitSport. just not the one from the dealer that i keep failing to get to. :icon17:

Mr.kenchan, sorry to hear about your bad-experience with the Subaru... feel she treated you like her ex-husband... LOL :bowrofl:

Not sure when was the ownership of your Subaru, but my friend drove two Subaru (a Legacy and a Sti, 4 years each), no issue at all. My sister just bought a Legacy about 18 months ago, no issue too.

I think they have improved some of their reliability issues through the years...

You might want to re-consider the (3) option... :tup:

Lol Mr.kenchan... don't worry too much on it.. honestly... lemon could happen to anyone from any brand... :ugh2:

In this case, really, go with your instinct, can't worry too much...

Also, this is a DD that might serve you for only 2 yrs... after that, it's Mrs.. :tup:

However… If I will suggest you, then the 1st is still Impreza then 2nd is Fit...

I just came from an STI.... I got a lemon, so I thought... turns out once your are on the forums, everyone has problems... well let me rephrase, everyone who does and mods at all had problems... I went stage2, blew my turbo, went 20g, blew my motor, then bent valves, then cracked a cam in half... thats when I said screw this and traded for the 370... They are great cars if you keep them stock. But remember there is a shop in Colorado that does nothing else but work on Subarus. That is all they do all day everyday and they are always busy...

Hello everyone! :hello:

Didn't do anything with the Z except think about doing something... The NISMO cat back.

Talk me out of it? Into it? I like that it won't affect the warranty and should fit well, and I do not want a super-loud racing type exhaust anyway. But a little louder than stock would be good.

Have any of you guys or gals heard one? Unfortunately I have not had the chance to hear one in person. I miss the "burble" of the 350Z on the highway a little. That's the only thing I miss, though. :)

By the way, everyone, you should rep MightyBobo next time you get a chance. He helped me out big time today with both of my cars. Of course, I bought him dinner (best crab cakes in town), but still, he's often helping out fellow members in need.

I wish it was a Yoga class I taught -- even though I am as flexible as a Graham Cracker. No, I was teaching a diverstiy class and today's topic was on the plight of Height-Challenged Transgender Developmentally Disabled Reformed Catholic Chemically Dependent Liberal Persons of Color in Same-sex Relationships and their rights in the workplace.

The Nismo cat-back is a decent chunk of money and underperforms many cat-backs that cost far less.
