I love my Hardbody. It's infinitely more useful than the CRX, that's for sure! 20mpg no matter how I badly I beat up on it, and it gets 24mpg on the highway. It's also tight enough to chase Miatas through the Austin twisties.

most, i think its, 94-98 suby's had a hg problem (correct if im wrong), my brother had a subaru legacy wagon, at about 70k the hg was close to blowing... good thing he had it changed right when he bought it, you should of seen it...
I know nothing about the older forester/legacy line but I do know that Subaru became known for popped headgaskets on the engine that was in the 1998 Impreza 2.5RS. It was the first year production and the only year to get a DOHC engine. After the problem with headgaskets, they had a manufacturers recall/warranty that replaced those gaskets and switched over to SOHC.
Like I said, I don't know about the other cars, but most '98 's should have new headgaskets in them.

hey, that's a good find. low miles, cheap. if you got it for 1500 you could put another 1000 into wheels/tires/suspension and have a nice little low mileage car for pretty cheap.
