More traffic from Oz, UK?

Yeah but could this car survive more than 6 of our winters, with snow and salt and springs with rust disease running rampant?

N. American vehicles typically rust out after about 8 years, Japanese controlled designs 12-18 years. I think from the few Subarus see around here they tend to fall apart in much less, provided you change the rabbit fur on the seats, every few years.

Have you driven a rust lately? Our Ford admission they have a problem after problem after their 1974 class action suit where they paid all the 1967-1974 owners to drive a "rust tough" POS.

Actually oil is topped up (to indicate it full on the dipstick) with unburnt fuel in older cars (carby) hence gets diluted with this fuel over the intervals of the oil changes.

Topping up oil is very unproductive as the sump is still full of fuel.

More modern cars that having efficient injection burns off this excess fuel.

Definitely a keeper, that one!!!

Feel free to rattle Josepi/mII cods if you feel you must but I tell you all of it is only to lead you into being ignored by the wood-whackers, Josepi has no interest in group content, here nor anywhere else.

Idiots abound in both groups.

WTF are you babbling about? Wait a day after indulging before posting. You never make a lot of sense, but you make even less sense when you're drinking.

YMMV.

Either way, Camrys and Subarus are now built in the same plant in Lafayette, IN, about 50 miles down the road from me. Subaru had too much capacity after Isuzu production ended and Toyota needed some way to build more Camrys.
