SUBARU all the way. My last car was a 1983 Subaru wagon, VERY reliable. My current car is a 1992 Subaru wagon (legacy) terrific car. I will never buy anything else but another Subaru. (I am not certain that the Turbo's are rated quite as highly, though). I do not deal with a Subaru dealer for repairs unless necessary, so I have no comment there except to say that between the 2 dealers that are in my area, I WOULD go to the one, but I would NOT go to the other. The one I approve of is a bit steep in price but well worth it for those times that only a dealer can handle the problem. I recommend a Subaru to ANYONE who asks my opinion.
