Do turboed subarus run and run or do they generally need engine gearbox work done at high (100+) mileages.?

Franko 08 October 2003 10:33 PM

Like any car it depends on how well they are looked after... Generally they are quite reliable ther's many above the 100k+ milage mines over 50k now and going strong :D

Also, engine and gearbox work ain't cheap ... look after the car!
