9 yrs, 162000 mi, beat up as hell.

Might DD the Z while shopping for something new.

If the fix is cheap enough, i may fix the six.

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...

:tiphat:

My case was more between the two color... lol, because none of them were in stock... PW is my favorite color and BC will get dirty easily.. :ugh2:

Took 5 months for my Z to arrive...
