IMO: a car built 14 years ago with 180k is not as reliable as a car built 3 years ago with 50k (under warrente for 40k more miles)

IMO: a car that comes factory turbochanged is just as reliable as a car that comes factory NA, a car that comes N.A. then turbocharged is not as reliable as a car that comes factory turbocharged. Bottom line calling something reliable has nothing to do with the car, its trust with the company that built it, I trust toyota cars to be reliable, I also trust subaru cars to be reliable based on the fact that I have owned both for many years and know others who have owned for longer then that, that trust them, I dont trust Kia cars to be reliable, I dont trust deawoo cars to be reliable etc. unless your the original owner and have kept with factory maintanace perfectly and driven perfectly (including the road conditions) can you say in fact that a car is reliable or not, if you mod the car in any way, you cant say if the factory car is reliable for 180k + miles, you can say its a strong motor or very solid etc. point is 180k is a lot of miles, a lot has happend to the car durring that time that I belive made my celica less reliable then I could trust. others however can say theres is more reliable thus they trust theres more. I turst myself to keep my WRX in good shape as I did my RS, thus I trust it to run good and be reliable.

based on that I went shopping for a new-to-me car, I love my RS and wanted another subaru, I wanted more space, AWD, a good amount of power, and a warentee thus the choice was simple.

this is entirely about opinion, please take mine for what its worth, and nothing more.
