when am i going to sell the wrx to buy a nice safe family car????!!!
Was at a family do this weekend and I am well getting a larger family in about 5 months time.
Well, some of the people at the party were asking me when I was going to sell the WRX and buy a 'nice safe family car', well, what can I say!!
What I did say was, yeah thats fine, seeing as Im due new years eve and it will quite possibly be snowing why dont you come and pick me up in your NICE safe REAR WHEEL DRIVE BMW lol and I'll leave my dangerous 4 WHEEL DRIVE 4 door family saloon in the garage !!!
Another perception of the impreza!!!

Could always get a Forester STI 
Sports cars are generally regarded as being much safer than standard family cars anyway, of course provided you don't drive like a looney
The have stiffer bodies, better brakes, better handling / suspension, and the power on tap to get you out of a dangerous situation if required.

better than a BMW thou. Last time it snowed the bloke @ work with the BM took 3 hours to get home inc 1.1/2 hrs to get up a hill I was home, had tea & walked the dog before he was 1/2 way! If you take it easy it is fine, no bootfulls of gas.
