I've currently clocked up 193'800klms (120'000miles) in almost 7 years in my conversion. I'm wrapped with my little bug, having owned it for 20 years now , the last 7 years have been the most fun. I'm a massive vw engine fan, but we have to evolve, well some of us have to.
I'm very happy with the Subaru power.
