I think its the fact that its an all round capable car, tunable, looks good, planted drive, doesn't feel like your driving a tin can, and many other plus points as well.

Shame they got rid of the Blob/Hawkeye saloon, I'd have considered buying brand new. Not with the 3 door versions around now though, unfortunately.

The noise, the speed, the handling.

Most importantly though it just works all the time. Has never let me down in 3 years. Its so bloody reliable. Give it a damn good thrashing and it still works just aswell as the day I bought it.

Dont like the fuel consumption though. You do have to pay for a good time though dont you.

Probably why I leave most big heavy tuned STI's, massive turbos and FMIC, time the revs hit 4,000-4,500 I'm 50 yards away.

I have noticed cars that don't give up do seem to get a few yards back once I hit 3rd.

I have to do all the damage up to 50mph, bit like Paul Sykes should have done when he fought John L Gardner, figuratively speaking.

Until an STI keeps up with me I'll love the ol' WRX for punching above its weight.

Comming off the throttle and rolling up to a junction or traffic lights, that burble and and pop is the best sound, and it always turns heads :-d

I shout 'subaru' randomly when one drives past, think its starting to wind my Mrs up. There was an RB5 that drove past my house once or twice a week, had to mute the TV to listen properly

I also like the whole subaru community thing, like waving at total strangers as you drive past in the opposite direction.
