No the problematic one is the 01+ V70XC/XC70 AWD "Geartronic" tranny by Aisin. It's a pile of shit. $3000 pile of shit.





my ocassional DD. I prefer driving this bebe though:

Nice 240!

And yeah, the 2001+ ones suck. That's why mine are 2000 (XC70) or older. And I prefer the 240s over the newer stuff too. I need another 245...

Need more lifted subarus. I saw one with a good 4-5 inch lift the other day. That is how you do it. None of this lowered, rumble butt muffler crap.

This is better

correct.

I have impreza lift springs for sale 2008+

Volvo's FWD manuals shift worse than trucks. The automatics are reasonably robust if you change the fluid every 100k.

...right.

so yeah, Subarus are cool. I've always wanted one of those Imprezza coupes from around y2k

[Roland H]

Right, but isn't the R awd?

Still a transverse motor.

[Bimmerman325i]

that's out of left field....

[iamsam]

Would I rock this?



Yes, yes I would.


OR this.

The manuals or the autotragics?

Yeah V70R's are cool; but I believe the awd tranny setup in those has a poor reputation, and high repair cost.

I'd rock a V70R.

[Roland H]

I've had it since I was 17; haters gonna hate.

And flightless birds will perambulate....

[colorado_cabrio]

You're still the only male I've ever seen driving one of those...



Or a volvo? I've got a V70, or a V70XC turbo....

I'd rock a V70 T5 w/ 5spd. Not a fan of the XCs.
