Well, I've been a Subaru owner before, have seen and marveled at the SVX. Just sold my 90 Prelude, because it was time, have a Pilot also, so its time to shop for a second car.

So a little input would be much appreciated.

I've done much reading on the SVX and understand the weak point, trans, bearings and rotors. Although I’ve come across a fair number of SVXs with blown motors! Is this a problem?

With these problems I've read people state that the SVX is a reliable car...is this true in the same sense as a Honda or a Toyota?

Also when rotors, bearings, trans(+ added cooler) go and replaced is the problem solved or is it ongoing??

What are the parts availability, when (if) the trans goes...where do you get a replacement? Is Subaru still supporting the car with replacement part..are all the body parts available, if I get in an accident?

Lastly, what are the common cost of repairs for a shop to perform; Trans replacement, rotor replacement, and bearing replacement?

Thanks much for any input,
Joe
