Yes, DSMs arnt the most sturdy thing ever built, but to generalize is wrong. Same with Ryan's comment about Subaru's. There is always an exception.

I know I havent had the best luck with DSMs, but I know why it all happened. My 1g- The recall on transfer case was never done, and I didnt know about it. I quickly found out when it locked up on the freeway at 85 mph :shock: My 2g- the car was questionable when I bought it. I never felt confident in that rebuild, and now I have two burnt valves in the #2 cylinder to show for it. The GVR4- Ive learned alot and this galant will be proof of that. I hope to rebuild/restore it and have it running like it just rolled off the show room floor.

Let's get back on topic though. Bobby, buy that damn 1g.
