When the local Oldsmobile dealer started selling Subarus in '72 they arrived
on the lot with rust already bubbling through the paint.

Those little engines ran a lot stronger than the Pinto and Vega engines....

Re: How Many Miles?
 

The Pinto died because no one followed the maintenance manual and
replaced the timing belt as it only last seventy thousand before it bend
ever valve. They're still one of the strongest sand buggy engines
around.
The Vega died because no one followed the maintenance manual again,
and didn't change coolant and the acid eat through their aluminum
blocks.
