ok my car ate itself over the weekend .. really need a cheap reliable car that is 4 door for the young'uns... I know there are a few subarus fans here .. .how many miles is pushing my luck with a suby... I recall being told that after model year 2000 is a better bet ( not sure if that applied to all models though or what the reason behind it was )... don't really care about model either ... I do prefer a wagon though
thanks for the input |

DOHC was until 1999.
many with those cars are installing later year short blocks with the 4 cam head for sport. |

The DOHC cars had some problems with the case's cracking causing them to over heat the good things about the SOHC is the ease of maintence is just incredible very easy to work on compared to the DOHC cars. the only trhing you really need to watch is tire diameter they need to stay within 1/8 inch circumfrince of each other or you can burn out the transfer clutch or the visciuos coupling on the manual cars. The head gasket problem is more of a leaking issue more then a over heating problem for my experience
