Just to add to this:
one, posting from my iPhone, sometimes I hit the wrong letters and my words are little f'ed up. You get my drift though.
If you have not driven or riden the WRX or a Subaru with a 2.5, you really need to. The 2.5 feels like it should have a 6th gear. To make the torque it does and being AWD, you feel like you top the car out by 3rd gear. For my car, 5th gear, 71mph and you'll be at 3150 rpm. That is very high to many people. That's the norm for a Subaru. Hence, not the greatest mpg.
Btw, once the head gasket issue is delt with, you pretty much have 150k+ miles easliy with that motor. Even when I buy an STi next year, I plan on keeping this Legacy.
Buy a good Subaru and you will love to drive it.
