225k, wow says a lot about the brand.
One of my favorite classic cars.
1995 Saturn SW2 w/ 5 speed manual bought new and about to hit 80k. Can’t afford a new car. Not many manufacturers offer wagons anyway and we don’t like crossovers.
I’m very sorry to be the bearer of bad news but those engines had a design defect that caused the cylinder head to fail and mix engine oil with coolant which could blow the engine.
They had an extended warranty for it but thats long expired, the best things you can do at this point is to not push the engine hard, don’t tow anything and avoid using the car in hot weather if you can.
And check the oil very often to make sure it has not turned into a frothy milkshake.
I see only americans here with big engines, cheap gas. I drive 2001 Renault Kangoo worth 1000$, 2 seats, big amount of space back there, where I sleep while camping and on the other days I pack it with stuff if I have to. It only takes 6l of diesel and has 1.9D engine with 65 horsepower 
Looking forward to buy a Volkswagen T5 with 2.5l engine this year, because of the same purposes, but now I go bigger and more quiet (my Kangoo is savage, loud as hell inside).
Depends on which motor it has.
The standard SOHC L24 motors suffered from cracked cylinder heads. The optional DOHC LL0 motors did not.
More info on Wikipedia here. It states that an estimated 2% to 5% of engines were affected.
After selling my tricked-out Suzuki Jimny and VW I bought the cheapest SUV there is - a ’17 plate Dacia Duster 4x4.
I’ve put a new engine in it, remapped it to 140ish HP (the Americans are laughing now), put a bit larger AT tires, wheel spacers and 2” lift. It is reasonabely good off road (a lot better than most most SUVs we get in Europe), great for snow and compared to Suzuki it’s fast, comfy and not thirsty.
Still planing on getting an old VX Samurai, restoring it and then making a propper off-roader with it.
And also I drive an Škoda Octavia 
Perks of living in the Balkans.
2011 Subaru Outback - I bought it used the dealer made a mint off me - he drives a Mercedes
It hauls all my gear bikes, kayak, camping, wife.
Installed a hitch for my utility trailer, makes hauling yard goods and furniture easier
I live at the top of steep hill when its snows I don’t have any problems.
I did sleep inside onetime at a trail head - but I prefer sleeping outside.
This my second Outback - my first died of a blown head gasket at 164K miles, I am hoping to wring more miles from this one
Yeah, great little cars that go anywhere with good tires. I really enjoyed driving mine off-road. I had to use my winch only a few times, once to get a stuck Patrol out of snow 
I actually like the Duster. It feels cheap inside with all the plastic but that has it’s pluses - leather and plastic interior coupled with 3D rubber mats make it so easy to clean.
Is that the mk.II “country” version?
Its interesting how the 2010-2014 series Subaru’s had many problems including head gasket and oil consumption.
2003 Subaru Forester XT
Purchased it used in 2012 with 205,000km on the odometer and it’s at 277,000km now. I wanted a wagon with AWD and reasonable clearance for rough roads but didn’t need something as big as an Outback. I wasn’t looking for an XT initially but one I took it for a test drive I didn’t want any less power.
I’m planning to lease a new Outback this year but I haven’t driven one yet. I wish the XT was available in Australia, but I probably don’t really need the power.
I also had the transmission re-built on the first Outback,
The head gaskets went months after after paying off the transmission rebuild, that car didn’t owe me anything.
I don’t think I would buy another after this one though. I ’m leaning towards the Rav4 or the Venza after this one is done. I drive my cars to very end.
Syncro’s are great and long lasting!
That’s why I ask. Only seen a “country” few times on the road, really rare.
Toyota Prius, though I usually take the train to work.
I had a mk3 Variant 2WD diesel once. I took advantage of the € 1,750 NL “national scrap action” bonus in 2010 with 526,000km on the clock. At that time I was facing a new camshaft belt, new starter engine, new power steering, total new exhaust, and the 5th waterpump was sure to come any time soon. So why not? Now I’m enjoying a 2010 VW Polo diesel (also 90 hp) that does app. 65 miles to the gallon.
Fiat Punto. Love me a good hatchback and you don’t get much better than a Punto. Nimble, responsive, silent, comfortable, good power-to-fuel ratio, and solid. It so rarely needs maintenance that I say I profited when buying it, compared to any other budget car I can think of.
Although now it is dripping oil after an accidental flight off a speedbump. Ouch. Time for a doctor’s appointment.
2013 Ford F150 4X4 Supercab with the 302 Coyote V8
It only has about 70K on it.
I only drive about 16 miles a day , so the low gas mileage doesn’t bother me much .
I have a boat I load in the back and I haul lots of different things.
I have owned four ford trucks over the years and loved them all .
I also have a 1997 Honda Civic as a spare vehicle .
278 K , all original and everything works .
2019 Subaru Outback 3.6
2012 Mitsubishi i-Miev, bought it used in 2015 as a lease turn-in for $5k and ridin that pony til the stirrups draggin the mud.
It goes 60 miles on a full charge (16 kWh Lithium battery pack) and my commute is 40.
And it is rear wheel drive with gobs of torque off the line—will beat any gas car off the line at traffic lights, and that never gets old…
It’s Fun to drive, low cost to operate, and carries lots of stuff from home depot too.
Maserati Gran Turismo…because I am rich!!
Not…that is my Brothers car.
Hyundai Sonata…reliable,good gas mileage.
