My son was just reminding me that he is on the Subaru scholarship program and is going to be trained by them to work on Subarus. And that he gets 50% off any labor rates for work he does have to pay for. Though I'm sure he will make friends there with skills to show him if he doesn't know it. But I agree wholeheartedly that the best one to start with is stock. I told him if it was me i would get a wrx wagon. Way cheaper, same drivetrain and 99% are stock and have a clear title. But he says I'm old and wagons are not cool no matter what drivetrain.
