I've read a fair few of the information threads regarding the maintenance of this car and I'm curious to see whether the older, experienced owners of this car would recommend it to a young person as a first car.
I would not recommend this as a first car. It will need maintenance which is expensive no matter how you look at it. 1st time drivers are generally hard on their cars and one of these 20 year old subies will be somewhat fragile. Some parts are getting scarce and almost all parts are pricey.

It will also tempt you to test it's prowess which will certainly get you in trouble with the law, not to mention possible injury .
