Knew about the possible transmission issues prior to purchase but only had a 15min test ride and check of fluids in a Walmart parking lot to decide whether to roll the dice. Car seems to shift fine and so far it's getting a little over 20mpg (wife drives it very conservatively). Going in for inspection with my trusted mechanic of over 15yrs. Any suggestions on what to tell him to look for? He's been doing all my Subies thru the years, but this is our first SVX. Look forward to membership and learning all I can about this awesome car!

Congratulations, I think I remember looking at that one on Craigslist a few times. It looks like it was very well taken care of.
