Default second test drive

so myself and my lovely wife are both going for a second test drive in the new 2008 impreza the 2.0rx which i actually found suprisingly a better car than my wifes current bmw 1 series.I know this model doesnt appeal to die hard scooby fans but this does go to show that they actually are attracting a new form of customer.
My better half would never have even considered a subaru before and it would certainally never fitted into her role of a doctor, image wise as far as she was concerned.
So im actually hoping she buys it tbh.

Hope you didn't rev it too hard Jim

Subaru were aiming for the Female market with this car and were supposed to be trying to shake off a bit of the Boy Racer image, hope it works for you....I mean your missus

I'd be worried about the fuel economy compared to the 1 series to be honest. If you do buy one, please make the rear lights red
