Well pardner, there's nobody here that's more of a straight shooter than I. Subaru have had a good reputation for reliability for a long time. That would be because people are stupid. They did have a problem with broken timing belts. I would see quite a few on the side of the road.

Subaru backwards is U R a Bus. That's so true and driving my Subaru was a real drag. These remarks are about the ones that had the engines with two timing belts. I believe they're better cars these days but I can't comment on that because I don't have much experience with one. I'm fairly sure that I'd dig a new WRX though. Who the hell wouldn't?
