Yes, I'm 1.5 man, also in IT, I see a pattern emerging here.

The average owner certainly doesn't appear to be either 1 or 2 though!

Ha Ha I don't need to be fulfilled - I just need sexual gratification ha ha

Just thinking: as this is an internet forum, is it any surprise that those who contribute the most are sitting in front of a computer for much of the day? There's bound to be a disproportionate number of computer nerds here: especially during the working week. That doesn't mean that this accurately reflects the ownership demographic of a Subaru.

(Wow, I've never written "demographic" before). Feels great!

I'd say they are the two stereotypes definitely, but not everyone falls into one of those categories

i am 19 (so not option 2 because of age obviously). i don't live in a council house, i still live with my parents about to go to uni to study motorsport engineering (so thats a no to what somebody said about un-educated youth aka chavs etc) i drive my car because its fun to drive with a level of practicality which i need. i am my own category, just as everybody else is. i don't think there are typical drivers apart from the fact that we all enjoy driving don't we?

43, fat, grey, with the tide going out, work in IT. God I'm a cliché!

However, this is my 4th Scooby, since just before Y2K. I drive them because of the grin factor.
