  1. Don't have a choice, unless I wanna borrow my mom's '06 Sienna.... Which I don't.
  2. ^I check for that occasionally. Far as everyone can tell, my car's still in great shape. Let's see if I can hit 150k miles and still say that... I have a heavy roadtrip planned for this summer, Pennsylvania to California, via southern routes. I'd be more than a little inconvenienced if it broke down 2000 miles from home.
  3. Well, I don't want to drop the money on it if I don't know it's necessary. I bought it used a few months ago and for all I know it's already had them replaced. It'd be a shame to spend a grand without needing to, especially considering I'm your typical broke college student. The Subie dealership I take it to know how paranoid I am. I've been going to them for a long time, they've never once tried to rip me off and their prices are very reasonable. I trust them to be knowledgeable enough to find the problem. And if the engine blows, well, then, I guess I gotta find another engine. Wish I knew more about engines and cars in general so I could do all this stuff myself. This forum has been an incredible help already, though. I've practically tripled my knowledge of engines and random little things on the car since I got here, but I wouldn't say I'm comfortable doing anything on my own.
  4. THIS is how I feel, exactly. They're like stock sleepers. Not that they're superperforming, but they don't look too in-your-face and they give a serious bang for the buck. I still see so many of the early 90s models on the road, too. I've never heard a Legacy owner complain about his car other than the head gasket issue. And honestly, I'm prepared for a head gasket failure. I've accepted that it's likely to happen. I check for signs regularly and have them do a compression test every time I bring it in. That way as soon as I see some symptoms, I can drop the thousand bucks and get them replaced and fixed for good. I won't even be angry. I see so many people with well over 200k miles on their 2nd Gen Legacy that it just makes me smile. I don't drive mine excessively so I know I have many more years of enjoyment left.
  5. 129,577. Still going strong. Hopefully will continue to do so forever and ever.
