What bout an older Subie?

[ole dsm]

i would look for any car that has a large amount of parts available in the wreckers , especialy if it's a car that u are going to learn on.

when u break something u want to be able to get the parts with out waiting a few years or paying threw the nose.
new or used

Shameless Plug....how about a Mazda 323 GTX??

Hmm, okay got some ideas, check the junk yard for lots of parts etc..(maybe if i can afford, pick up two, one for parts.. and incase i bend the frame )

im really stoked for a 1993 impreza, in 2013, 20yr old car, shuold be cheap! lol

although AWD Turbo DSM's are rare at wreckers...trust me I know...you can amass parts very inexpensively if you look around and know which parts you will be beating up on during your McCrae endeavours...

IMO get a late 80's celica GT4

but he wants a car he can beat up on...and All-Trac's are pricey to repair...

All AWD cars are pricey to repair. They're usuall heavier, and the drivetrain usually takes a beating.

[90TurboLude]

So if AWD cars are xpensive to repair, and there is alot of beating on the drive train it begs the question.. should one just use a FWD car? and if so what one?

Pulsar GTiR, import concern has a really nice white one for sale right now

if you are planning to do performance rallying, a FWD car isn't a bad choice to start in. VW Golfs are popular FWD rally cars.
