You know I didn't think of this when I wrote my first post, but probably more amazing about how well the 123 handles rough roads is the fact that at 500,000 miles it STILL handled rough roads and felt exactly the same.

That was after 500,000 miles without ever changing so much as a tie rod end. The ENTIRE front end had never had a repair of any kind beyond shock replacement!

A little after 500,000 miles I got a parts car that was relatively low mileage. I bought it for the engine, but I put both of them in the air and swapped the entire front suspensions. The ball joints were a little loose, but most everything else was amazingly tight.

I wonder how tight that Subaru will be at a half million miles.

Have a great day,
