My car had the familiar SVX woes when I bought it (failing wheel bearings, cracked radiator, bum antenna), but since those repairs, in 23,000+ miles of everyday driving, only the crankshaft pulley has let me down. (The battery died a few weeks ago and I tried my best to blame it on the alternator, but hey, it was just a dead battery.) Given the car's quality and style, and in view of the price of a comparable, late-or-new model, I feel I'm driving a bargain. I've coaxed two Subarus (and a '68 Ford Mustang) beyond the 200,000 mark and have no reason to believe my SVX won't get there, too.
