I WAS WONDERING HOW MANY MILES / KMS COULD A SCOOBY RUN...
ONE TIME I SAW ONE SIGNING ABOUT 250000 KM (155376 MILES) DOING THE REGULAR SERVICE AT THE DEALER. IT WAS A GREEN SCOOBY WITH EXHAUST AND SUSPENSIONS KIT CHANGED... AND THE POTENZA S-02 PP ... DESTROYED !!! SO THE OWNER WAS NOT THAT OLD MAN WHO USES HIS CAR ONLY ON SUNDAY TO GO TO THE CHURCH !!! HE MUST HAVE BEEN A PULLER!!!(I DON'T KNOW IF THIS WORD IS RIGHT BUT I THINK YOU'LL UNDERSTAND IT).
ALL THIS BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG COULD MY SCOOBY RESIST.
IT'S A MY98 (FULL EXHAUST AND FILTER CHANGED) AND NOW THE CLOCK SIGNS ABOUT 60000 KM WHICH IS ABOUT 37290 MILES.
THANKS FOR ADVISE

Barely run in mate.

Mine has 90000miles and runs like new... just remember to keep warming up and warming down without the turbo cutting in...

Also regular oil changes help.

:)

You have plenty of mileage left in that car....

ho ho JGM

107000 miles and 16 months of fault free motoring.

Well impressed.

Not an Impreza, but my 1993 Legacy Turbo has just gone through 136,000 miles (same engine as Impreza). It's just starting to loosen up ;0). There's a US website called something like www.subaru-highmileageclub that's got loads of members with cars with over 200,000 miles on and a couple with 300,000. Regular servicing and oil changes in particular are, obviously, the key.

R reg catalunya with 100,000 miles & still going strong, full subaru service history.

Yes, i think the real secret is to warm up and pay attention of not cutting the turbo when it's still in function and ,of course,having regular services!
thanks

My CAPS LOCK key once went 300,000 characters without the PC crashing!! ;)

P.S. Had an MY95 last year that was 85k miles and still going strong.
