i worked for Subaru as a journalist in 2005/6 and have experienced all their vehicles at a testing ground we have here...

And i will always recommend them to anyone... they are so safe, they sound great, they drive great and they look great!

perhaps the MOST impressive thing i experienced was when we took a WRX STI (MY06) with the DCCD on full rear bias, from a dry section of the track to a very tight, very wet section... if it wasn't for the fact that the wipers were on and i could hear the water splashing, i wouldn't have thought we were in the wet... They truly are amazing!

Space wise, so convieniant - can easily fit 5 blokes with snow gear(roof racks fitted though).
Its quite suprising the overtaking ability at highway speeds with a full car load. i love it. a bit of a handful when she goes sideways in the wet, it requires lots of quick and small steering inputs.
That's not bad at all, considering that it's turbocharged and can outrun some cars out there. IIRC it has a 0-60 time of around 5 seconds to 6 seconds. That's pretty fast for a cheapish wagon that looks pretty good as well.

Definitely, I'd love it if I got it for my car to college. Besides, there will be snow where I go to college. FWD should do the job, but why not use 4WD?

You saying this reminds me of a saying we have here: There are two types of people in Canada: those who drive Subarus and those who are late for work....

Those who drive Subarus and those who have had penis reduction surgery

True, but it's still freaking fast.

Yes, that's all the Canadians have to offer the world- snow.

Vermont has maple syrup, every state has hot white chicks, NH has wood, NY has hydroelectricity, and Michigan has good hockey players.

Not sure if I need to post it in here as well but here goes...

TVR Pre-Production Prototype Sagaris aka Candy.

I will do the same with Daisy (Chimaera 450) when she gets back from her full re-spray.

Haha, like your poster.

No, I just dont want anyone thinking I am pulling a fast one, I am proud of my cars and would hate people to think I was lying. Not many 32 year old girls have 1 TVR let alone 2...one being a Sagaris and I got my own TVR at 28.
