Reply to "Subaru vs Air Cooled"

I have to weigh in with the WC side of things, in the year or so that I rode my ride with the inline 4 WC 2.0, I loved it. It may not have the open the engine bay wow factor that a 2.5 Subaru engine may have, but damn, they're cheap as chips, wiring harness is a doddle and it's great to tinker around with and for the weekend mechanic, it's a dream to service and maintain. I get about 25-30mpg on mine as the gearbox is the downside, which will be updated soon.

My main reason for going WC was the price of substandard AC parts on the market. I'm now getting top quality German parts for a fraction of the Chinese knock off AC parts. I'm in this for the long haul and I wanted a ride that would be hassle free and easy to maintain.
