Group,

I am new to LegacyWorks and have been keeping up on topics for a while. I have over 158,000 miles on my 92 Turbo Wagon. I've go the 4EAT so I cannot atest to your clutch, but I know the rest of my Wagon is as crisp as when it was new.

Thanks good.. It's nice to know that our cars should continue performing
well for ages! What is 182,000 miles in kms? About 300,000 kms? Thats huge!

Everyone told me that i was crazy buying a turbo car with almost 200,000 kms
on the clock.. But for some reason Subaru seem to have come up with a design
thats actually reliable as well as powerful. What's their secret?

I think thats about 125000 miles, so i'm not up to 150K miles yet, but i'm
pretty sure this wagon will make it there ;) (specially when its 1600 kms
round-trip to Melbourne, and 2800 or something to sydney)

For the record, my liberty RS turbo is over 200,000kms, has had every
service done at a Subaru dealership before I bought it (I at least change
oil etc myself), and was totally stock when i bought. (Right down to the
tape deck and floor protector matts).
Only thing thats been replaced according to the logbook is the clutch (fair
enough), and it had the noisy-lifters fix done early on under warranty.

By comparison, I remember when I lived at home my parent's cars couldn't
last for more than 10,000 to 15,000 kms without something breaking.. I think
the Nissan they had went thru three motors, two gearboxes, and a multitude
of clutches in its 180,000 km life! hehe and that was with conservative >40
yr olds driving it..
