Honestly?
Ive been a Ford guy all of my life (I still have 3 in my garage) with the exception of a Chrysler 300 AWD, which was your typical no quality Chrysler product that I had so many problems from drive train to interior parts, it was unbelievable. Hey, I had to try one.
I then bought my first WRX. My first import. Then I bought my second WRX.
Now you cant compare a Taurus to a WRX. Two different types of cars.
But what you can compare is reliability
Ive seen people on here with wheel bearing problems, some kind of heater door problems and a few other problems. And Ive had very,VERY minor problems with my SHO. Ive never had any issues with either WRX.
It concerns me.
The Subarus was bullet proof.
With all of that being said, the SHO is an incredible car, especially after you install a tune.
obviously I bought the car because I wanted it. Maybe I should have done a little more research before I bought it. It may have changed my mind knowing some of the problems that occur on SOME of them at rather low mileage.
I really like the car but if I have to deal with wheel bearings , etc, I may not be with me for more than a couple of years. The problem is, if I sell it, theres no car, in its class, that I could replace it with.
