stoneam2006 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I'll be honest I can't stand subies by brother in law drives one and every ricer thinks he's got the fastest thing around...now with that being said they are awesome cars that seem to last forever hold value extremely well and have awesome reviews all the way around. As much as I'd love to say stay away I don't know if anyone could go wrong owning oneSent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stubborn1VT Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Girlfriend has a 2015 Impreza. I can't knock an AWD car that gets 32mpg and is a tank in the snow and ice. I had a couple beater Subaru Loyale wagons when I was young. They had push button 4wd and would go anywhere as long as they had clearance. I drove them in the woods, on the lake, all over the farm. I'd love to buy "American", but the best vehicles I've ever owned were made in Japan, and it hasn't even been close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigVal Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 STI rip off the line. Real fast, once third gear is there the mustang, Challenger etc catches up. My buddies are into the fast cars. All fun. Subaru makes a good reliable car my brother and like I said couple buddies have them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckmaster7600 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 My beater cars have been Subaru's for years now. Won't have any other type of cars.

chrisw Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 My wife has a 2013 Crosstrek, it's a great car, it could do with more power but great on gas and phenomenal in the snow, resale is really high on them also.Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpkot Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Wife had a legacy and just traded for an outback. Solid little car, I really don't mind driving it. The legacy with a set of snow tires was impressive. Its better than my truckin the snow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomad Posted September 20, 2017 Author Share Posted September 20, 2017 Looking at CRV tomorrow , never thought I'd own an Outback but I keep going back to,it . I've looked at Volvos, Acura MDX, Exploders , Jeeps and on and on . Down to these two now. Was going to buy when I retire next May, but, daughters sub frame on her 04 Grand Am trusted away , the steering column / housing is no longer connected to the frame , makes for fun handling ! So I said I'd sell her our '03 , 77k miles Aurora , 8cyl ,new Michelins, super clean car for a grand . She parks on a city street and the hospital parking lot is not good to new cars either . So we need to move on a car in a week or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maytom Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Mostly a pick-up truck kind of a guy, but If and when I ever go back to a car, it will be a Subaru Legacy!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 While you are driving around or sitting at stop lights, just glance around at some of the older (and maybe not so old) car makes and models that have that dangling rusty bumper or those lace rocker panels or the dangling rusty fender flapping in the breeze, and you will mostly note that it is an American car where the manufacturers are obviously relying on the "buy American" sentiments to peddle their cheap inadequate steel and paints. This has been going on for decades. I remember when Japanese cars were worse than any. And then some time after the 1970's the situation changed. The Japanese decided to go on a super quality kick, and the American manufacturers decide to talk about quality but only used that word as a smoke screen to continue cranking out rust buckets. So when I buy cars, I don't pay a lot of attention to how they look new. I know I will be owning these cars for a lot of years, so I look at the proof on, or along the side of the road as to what kind of gluing together I will have to do in the future just to keep the thing together. I've settled in on Honda products and haven't been burned yet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-Man Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I have an outback best 4wheel drive system on any vehicle made. The new outback get less mph than the older model but I believe that's due to higher stance and more gimmicks causing more weight.. Mine is a 2009 and I would not sell it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
