1986 Xt
Eye just wondering if anyone has personnel experience with the 1.8t XT. Preferably 1985-86. I happen to come across an 86 for sale local to me. And I've been thinking about buyin it for a daily/beater so I can keep mileage down on my wrx. May just been one of those impulse buys that come across in my head lol but I talked to him a little. And he said heat doesn't work. And the mileage is 122,144. I think that's pretty damn good for an 86. Next year my 2004 wrx will have that much if I keep driving it to work.

It either needs head gaskets now or will in the future. And timing belts. And the digidash sucks. If it has a 3 speed auto those are lousy too.
They ARE neat cars though. But the EA82T engine is pretty unreliable if you don't keep on ALL the maintenance. |

Thanks for the input. I did a little reading on them and it does sound like a neat car to just say you own. But I figured timing belt and head gasket would need to be done. And it is an auto unfortunately. I suppose it's still worth to check out though. And I thought the digidash was as cool as the airride lol

The air ride is troublesome too.
If you want a good beater get a 90-94 Legacy |

This, is a much better idea.
Flowmaster hit all the main problems with this car. The EA82Ts are terrible as far as reliability goes. A buddy of mine worked at Subaru for years and said they always kept the EA82T heads in stock because they cracked so much. Not a good choice for a beater/daily. And as any car with air suspension, you will have problems. Expensive problems at that. |

Yes it reminds me of an old mr2 too. But when I looked at it it wasn't worth buying. The guy had the xt and a couple brumbys. I've never seen them in person and they were pretty badass.
