Subaru Legacy
« on: 23 July 2015, 20:24:08 »
Has anyone ever had the 3.0R with the H6 (Boxer) engine?  ???  Any good? Anything to look out for?  ::)  I bet changing the plugs is fun!  :-\  ;D

Here's an example.  I'm not thinking about this particular car so no need to pick this one to bits, just after an overview!  ::)  ;)

TIA!  :y

A mate of mine had one. He was always complaining about its' thirst, and he's not the type to moan unless it was really bad. Don't know much more than that, TBH.

Tony at Wim told me, when asked what marque he never sees, that he never sees Subaru's on his set up ramp.

That was a few years ago at an open day, but with a view to reliability in the suspension dept...

The mechanicals are bullet proof, they handle and go very well. Thirsty and can apparently be a pita to work on though.
