Is this a good first car?

This one serves as a backup, that one is close to the bump limit

Yes, that's a 99 though not a 2000. With it at 105k it needs a timing belt right now right now, if it hasn't just been done. Check the dipstick for milkshake and the coolant overflow tank for bubbles while it's running, if either it needs headgaskets.

Otherwise it's a super solid car that handles great, drives nice, is a tank once you sort out the above issues, and is super practical. I love mine and I highly recommend it.

I was waiting for you to show up, thanks for the info.

How well does the transmission hold up?
>>
>>17775711
It's the same transmission as an 02 WRX with a bit different gearing. They only start breaking once modified to about 280-300hp, so in these naturally aspirated cars with under 170 it's alright. Mine shifts nicely, you'll probably want to put a new shifter bushing in it though, as well as a good synthetic 75w90 gear oil like Motul 300.

No. Just get a civic for 3k.
>>
Subarus of that era eat headgaskets. Everyone I know who's had one either had the gaskets fixed or sold the car. Due to the boxer design you have to pull the engine to do them without torturing yourself. Plus the AWD system doesn't age well.

I'd go with a 4cyl FWD car like a Civic or a Corolla as a first car.

Perfect first car

kek

>>17775754
Not a fan of compact cars, I'm aiming for SUVs or wagons.

Ruled out pickup trucks because most cheap ones listed on CL are beaner-mantained and thus look like total shit.
>>
>>17777667
SUVs and station wagons under $2K are going to be very dicey. Can you explain your thought process on wanting something of that size? How many people and how much gear are you looking at having on a regular basis?

95-99 Legacys/Outbacks are not big cars at all.
