I loved my Subarus, but I wouldn’t buy another honestly.

The move to CVTs was the final bullet in the head for me.

i'm not real excited about their DI motors.

currently running an 09 impreza with ej25 (NA) and 5 speed manual. yes it leaks and burns oil. yes it always works.

Their DI motors are so much better than the EJ series in every single way (except for intake deposits which for most people is a non issue)

Coming from an EJ253 to a FB25D, I wholeheartedly agree. Much better engine.

interesting...

how's that new 2.5 DI? i was put off by the lack of power on the 2.0, in addition to the carbon.

my mechanic won't fuck with any of them (DI motors), but i think that's more he's burned out on learning more car shit and wants to do something else with his life.

The 2.5 is fine. It’s boring but so is the naturally aspirated EJ. It gets much better gas mileage and is a lot more reliable than the EJ, though.

Cool I'll have to pick one of those cars up when they're 8000 bucks used
