my big boss tells me this constantly. he says older, low mileage cars are prone to catastrophic failure.

I voted for the 97. Cars are meant to be driven, not coddled garage queens. Think of it as a dog or cat looking through the glass door at the outside world, longing to chase down some critters and run free if only for a while. Poor, trapped, low-mile SVX...all it wants is to run free with the rest of the big dogs...

Thanks for digging that one out! Everyone is right (well, those who are saying the 97). The car should be driven.

The 97 of course...mile after mile your tush will thankyou...after all the SVX is a long-distance touring machine.

i don't know how to vote for you hahaha...
who ask you to have cars but don't know how to decide?

i have a new option for you. you can rent a car if you want:


well, what are you doing to do in OK? driving around? just stay there? maybe your information provided is not enough.....so i aint sure if you need a sport coupe, sedan or a SUV.

it's all depended on you what do you need......

if you just want to go there visiting with your wife, staying a couple days and come back....i will vote for your green avatar or the GT....hehe

have a good trip

I'd have to go with the Legacy 2.5GT Ltd. Nothing like the rush of a turbo in the morning...

tough choice - the SVX is in its element on the highway, but the Legacy has cupholders and a climate control system that puts the air where you want it (i assume).

i dunno - flip a coin.

there is small possibility we may have to bring some stuff home because mom is selling the house. other than that, we only need a vehicle to drive us down to OK and back. one thing to consider is everyone else's cars are two-doors.

the rush of the turbo on the icy streets this morning was not very fun.

i was thinking this same this thing this morning on the way to work. if i take an svx, i will have to break out and use the factory cupholder. the legacy would allow me to have air directed at the windows and my feet at the same time. plus heated seats.

I voted for the cherokee. Its an all around good vehicle. Yeah the gas mileage sucks (although I'd love to get 20 mpg on my svx), but its a really comfortable car too. I've done long distance trips in my dad's 99 cherokee several times.

92 svx...leave at home...too many miles
97 svx....leave at home too....not used enough, if you are stranded out in the sticks (due to say...catastrophic failure???), which car do you want a mechanic looking at?
05 subie gt....may have turbo, but again if you get stranded.....

American cars are really nice for one reason....any pos mechanic can fix one
