I accept your challenge.

Go to gallery and you will find links for 100, 200, 300, 400k miles. (I
think the 400 section is still blank at this point in time.)

I personally have 103k on my '96 Impreza. My dad has a '95 and '93 with 155k
and 165k respectively. Neither of us has had any problems whatsoever.

As far as engine temps I really don't know what you are talking about. I can
park my car from highway driving and pop the hood. Before I can get my oil
pan in position the car is cool enough to change the oil. Neither of us has
any kind of fluid leak either.

If you want to complain about leaks and engine problems, maybe you should go
hang out in a Jeep forum. ;-)

So, do you want my address for the bagels?
