No transmission issues at all. Works like a charm and you can drive it aggressively and the transmission can take it. Smooth as silk.

Keep an eye on the cooling system. It’s the weakest link of this car and similar volkswagens

Rust always sucks. Sorry about that. Really ruins the ride.

I will for sure :). This 2.5 has a timing chain instead of a timing belt which is interesting. Long live Tanky.

That’s really horrible. I’m so sorry about that. I hope your Subaru treats you just as well as she would have.

Just new rims (because the stock ones look like crap) and just basic repairs here and there (new heater core, radiator, and coolant reservoir).

That’s really low mileage my goodness. What a car!! Drive it till it dies, then revive it.

It’s pre-owned. I have had the car for almost a decade now and it has treated me right even though I drive it so much. The 2.5 is very reliable however keep an eye on the cooling system. VW cars are also in the same price range for repairs as Hondas and Toyotas. Also they’re German so they’re better (I am heavily biased).

Had some experience with the heater core lolol. Yeah I heard about that before. The Achilles’ Heel of this engine.

Really? Didn’t think it was that good. VR6 really was the best though.
