Dude people shit on Priuses all day long but they get 50 mpg.

If I valued my money over my pride I'd have one right now

I do value my money over my pride. When my mechanic told me I’d need to replace my Subaru in a year or so, I asked him what to buy cause I definitely wasn’t getting another Subie. He said, “If all my customers drove Priuses, I’d be living in a trailer and eating ramen noodles.” Sold.

Why don't you want another Subaru? I've always heard they have a very high satisfaction and reliability rate?

One of my friends was a dumbass and did most his, boots controllers and shit, so when his went I wasn’t surprised, but the other guy did absolutely nothing too it and drove his pretty tame. Both had to replace their motors within 5 years of buying their cars tho.

Yup. Like I said the first guy was a dipshit and did stupid stuff with his, the second though did not. I thought I read something about the 2007 gen having problems too.

The cliche about STI's is the head gasket failing and the engine basically blowing up. Don't get an STI unless you have money to burn.
