Why would you want a TS over an OBS? My best buddy has had a 2002 White OBS since 2003. He has beat it so bad, but his only issues have been minor sensor issues other than 2 HG failures and sliding off the road after swerving to avoid a moose. That car is the reason I returned to subaru, it made a believer out of me. Hes taken it from 15,000 miles to 180,000 miles beating the crap out of it the whole way, especially in sand pits. He also uses it as a truck for his painting buisiness. He hauls everything in it. Addmittedly, the car isn't worth much now, as the interior is pretty much destroyed and the exterior needs some love... and paint.
