Get a dodge charger instead

sounds great. could use some fucking visibility and head room though. I drove a 2016 fusion hybrid for a friend the other day and I felt caged :(

Manual transmission available?

Actual good AWD or FWD with occasional rear wheel assist?

I remember that movie vividly. I was 6 years old at the time and my parents took me to see it at the local drive in theater. Not the best idea since there's a scene in the movie where a tornado rips through a drive in movie theater while there are people there. I had nightmares about that for weeks after.

Brandfagging is for retards

>>14975353
brands do not keep their ethos or principal

>>14975353
>/o/, are you loyal to a certain brand?
Not literally, because that's gay, but I kinda am.
>used to hate VWs because experience, yet I'm sure I'll opt for a Golf because interior+galvanized body
>always loved Saabs and Subarus and I'd love any
And then comes that captcha displaying WRX STI and Golf.

First determine not warped.

Google how to check for cylinder head warping.

Take camshafts out, check all bearing surfaces for scratches, minor ones could be polished out, scratch your fingernail across the surface (this won't do any damage) if there is any scratch that stops your fingernail the surface is fucked and head would need serious work.

Check all valves for corosion and pitting.

Same with valve seats, these can be reground if in bad shape.

Mmmm
That's about it.

You'll want to replace can seals and valve stem seals.

Oh and make sure all valve springs are intact. Any cracked ones are best replaced.


Good luck, I highly advise you search "cylinder head jaftomobile" for some good learning about cylinder heads.

Oh and don't turn it over without either A) assembly lube or B) oil in the head. If its been sat for a while best practice is not to turn it over at all till you can get oil in there.

the valve springs will make it difficult to rotate the cam. if you take it apart, remove the rockers, clean the cam bearing surfaces, relube with clean motor oil and reassemble without the rockers the cam should rotate very freely. That's just for the cam.

check out the Snap-on Bluepoint GA317 or similar tools from Lisle for removing/installing the keepers. If you really want to use that head you're going to have to be very thorough inspecting it if you don't want to risk it not working out after installed. inspect all threaded holes, spark plug threads, and contact surfaces for wear. To check for cracks and head warpage you'll likely want to take it to a machine shop to be checked unless you want to invest in more tools.

>do they still have the practicality and enjoyability or their Subaru brethren
yes
>while not being as expensive to insure
fuck if i know

The front fascia and lights are harder to find, so you might see a higher premium with insurance. Otherwise they're not bad, their suspension is softer than WRX but they have an STi steering rack stock, otherwise the car is identical mechanically.

Never got a quote on one, but I do know that they like the fact that it's a 5-door and the fact that it's a Saab, even though the only thing Saab about the whole thing is its badges. I mean honestly, why would you ever want a Saab that doesn't have an awesome cup holder?
