I totally agree. Part of it has had to do with all the crash standards and stuff, being more things on the car and the way cars are constructed for impact. I think it also has to do with cars just...

This was more of what I would have expected from a car like this. Sounds like buying right is really what it comes down to

Seems like bigger issues some people are having may not necessarily be representative of the majority of cars. I figure I’ll be fine if I get a car that was well taken care of. I’m not tracking the...

I’m hoping that’s the case haha. Everyone else is making me think I’d be better off buying a used S2K or something. It’s surprising to me because I really haven’t heard of these cars having a whole...

Sounds good. Yeah if I can I’d probably rather buy a 70k mile car that just had the plug service done than a 50-60k ish one that’s going to need it, if I can. Otherwise, it’s a bullet to bite I...

Thanks for the tip. I’m not very mechanically savvy, but I’m assuming the parts you listed are synonymous with what you’d usually replace when doing a clutch anyways? Figured I’d have to do that...

Oh ok! Yeah I’ve been looking online at 10 series and monogram and a lot of them have the knobs. So I’m assuming people are listing their cars incorrectly?

Good point. Honestly, as far as outside goes, I'd be happy just doing the Toyota badge swaps. Its the interior I wish I could BRZ-ify better. Wish I could find a monogram in my price range hahaha

Thanks so much! I reposted within the Subaru forum to see what I get. Mainly, I am just concerned if the higher mileage is a concern. My first thought is these cars should be reliable if taken care of
