Buy a civic for 3k instead. You don't need awd.

I live in New England and the winters here are nasty and AWD helps a bit.

Snow tires.

Do it, BL/BP Legacy/Outbacks are fantastic cars. You won't be disappointed. Make sure you get the timing belt done at about 200k.

What if he needs something with cargo space? This has plenty, a civic doesn't.

And AWD with snow tires is even better.

'05s don't have that Head Gasket problem most Subaru were plagued with right?

Nope. They revised the headgaskets in 2004 to an MLS style instead of the paper mâché and hopes and dreams they were made of before. These have an EJ253, only the EJ25D and EJ251 (1995-2004) have the issues. Of course a few will still have headgasket issues, but any car from any make will have a few anomalies that blow a headgasket either from a manufacturing defect or owner neglect (not changing coolant ever). If it's made it to 180k without needing one it's 99% going to be ok.

Unless you have a milkshake in your oil or coolant, or bubbles in your overflow tank while it's running, you're golden.

All of them do. It's a bitch to change the spark plugs and the oil filter is surrounded by exhaust manifold. Subarus are only worth the maintenance nightmare when they have a turbo or h6. Inline engines are better in every way. You might consider an ep3 for 4-5k.

It does not have the ring of fire, that's only 08+ NA Imprezas and 5th gen Legacy GTs. Its exhaust manifold looks like this. Spark plugs also aren't too hard if you remove the battery and air filter housing, and you can jack up the engine if you want.

sounds good I'll keep that all in mind.

>It's a bitch to change the spark plugs
not at all, im looking at how to change the spark plugs and all you need to remove is the airbox. sure its in a weird fucking spot but who cares.

and Im trying to get a car under $3k
