Any Subaru fans?
My 2000 Forester is an S model. S model means LSD rear end. It does very well in adverse conditions. Had some wheel bearing issues but that was from abuse. 160000 miles. Just put new timing components and water pump in it. Idler pully failed. Other than that, going strong. 5 speed gets 24 MPG. I can get 28 if I try REALLY hard. Rear wheel area can be a bugger to work on with its long rear lateral link bolt.
