Well it looks as though I'm getting my wife a 2000 Legacy Sedan with a 5spd. It comes with a 2.5 SOHC engine. I heard the pre 2000 2.5 DOHC engines are having head gasket issues.

Any other word on this because I like the Legacys and may want to pick up another one (perhaps older than 2000 and with the DOHC 2.5).
