Anyone owned a Subaru SVX?

I'm just wondering if anyone knows anything about these cars. I may be considering one for the wife and I want to know about any problems I should look for and any criticism about them.

Here is the ad for the car I looked at yesterday.

Impossible to find parts for them. Only available in auto. Windows are fucked up. Ugly car. Often referred to as a "Lesbian Car". Was in the book "The World's Worst Cars."

I like em.

I have not heard good things about them. They are definitely unique cars and on paper they sound like they have a lot of potential *may be harder/more expensive/more rare to find parts for than even a Legend though*.The mid-90s were pretty crappy for Subaru I'd say, minus the Impreza. However I tend to associate Subaru with their four-cylinder cars and their current lineup of vehicles is pretty solid.

I was worried for the parts situation. Auto is fine. I hate the windows too. I don't think it's ugly.

^Nope. They be heavy and AWD really drains engine power.

My wife bought a 2002 TT 225 Roadster, Quattro, 6spd. Excellent performance, on and off track, fuel economy is OK, 21-25 average, maybe better if it were me driving it. It's incredibly tiny - perfect for most women.

I should have taken some pictures at the track. Well here is what it looks like, but ours is Lake Silver.

lol @ "I believe austinforrester does. he has a subaru as his signature"

they are rare cars, weird windows, but i had the privilege see this one in person, it was mint.



they are quick with the right mods. AWD might suck power away, if it does, its made up by the stick-to-the-roadness of the AWD system. It can sacrifice some power for no wheel spin. We dont burnout, we just GO

I've seen a few, some guy down the street from my owned one. Was considering trying to buy it off him a long time ago.

I like em but they're not really for me.
