my96brighton Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 My 1996 Legacy Brighton wagon is probably toast, thanks to getting rear-ended last night. The impact sent us spinning around in the intersection, and then we t-boned the guy who hit us, so my car has damage to the rear, left rear quarter, right front bumper and right front quarter. I'm sure it will be totaled. Everybody was shaken up and we're a little sore today, hopefully that will all go away in a few days and we'll be good as new. I was going to keep that Subie forever because we liked the wagon space, the 28 mpg and the all-wheel drive in the winter. So, I gotta buy a new or gently used car. Any suggestions on what we should get? What kind of mileage do recent Subarus get, I thought only about 22? Who else makes wagons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subikid90 Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Dang glad you are ok. Get the 4th gen wagon GT. As long as you are not in boost all the time those things get good gas mileage. -Subikid90 1997 Legacy GT 5spd & EJ251 w/EJ25D heads ~10.5CR 1998 Legacy GT Limited waiting for EJ22T hybrid swap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
