Two Classics over 8 1/2 years, moved on to a 3 series and missing the flat four and turbo, but also enjoying the comfort, lack of drone, and something a bit more modern. Still wish I had the Impreza though.

Had my wagon for 2 and half years now. Love driving it everyday, it just puts a smile on my face every time I start the engine and it roars into life, the boxer engines just sound amazing.

Sadly will be my first and last Subaru for a long time, maybe ever. I'll be getting a truck on the company end of this year, bought a new house so the Scoob will have to go when the truck arrives. I'll be sad to see it go but may get another one one day when finances permit.

I still own Billy, but since York Raceway closed down I just haven't bothered with it.


Not many 2002-2019 Imprezas managing 0-60 in 3.8 secs with just 300lbft I can imagine!

I have a WRX wagon Blobeye with 228K on the clock used as my daily commuter, I have had her since 6K and 6 months old.

I need a wagon/ estate for my dogs etc and have never found anything I could afford to replace her with so still have her.

I've had my 2005 Type UK for 12 years now, and been a very happy owner although it doesn't get used much since I went self employed.

I also have owned a 2009 Outback Diesel since 2016, sold to me by David of ex. API, which has been a complete **** sandwich from the day I've owned it - and has yet again gone wrong whilst on holiday.

Only 90 or so owners from a year old post, on a Subaru forum. The number says it all, owning a Subaru is no longer popular, even a rarity

It's as much a reflection of people not using BBS forums anymore, everything is on facebook, which is a shame as its a **** platform for technical info discussion and looking back for old info.

Had my current one for 11 Years and driven over 100K miles in it, it's my fourth. They are becoming a rare sight with them being broken rather than maintained, which will only drive up the prices once all the crap has been scrapped.
