So, I needed a car for Tuesday and started finally looking at cars today. Unfortunately the subarus I found either were auto or had over 200K miles. The only one I found that was what I wanted, had a gas tank leak where the pipe in which you pour gas was rusted and if you filled it up, it would leak...

yeah, that's where I found it. Unfortunately, only one is 5spd manual, the rest are automatics. Ebay doesn't even have one that's 5spd. Well, not for my budget anyways.

I'm thinking of a 5spd naturaly aspirated legacy. Don't get me wrong, if I find a turbo 5spd AWD for a $1000 I'll buy it, but if I don't, I'm not gonna go out of my way to get one. What I mostly care about is 5spd and AWD. How hard are those to find, and how well do they hold up? When I find one, wh...
