Default What do you like most about your Subaru?

Because I'm not an amazing driver (competant, but not amazing) I like the fact that my car is very solid, safe, and holds the roads, and that it sorts out most of the mistakes that I make on the road rather than me having to sort them out!

What about you?

The fact it has great performance, is easy to drive, practical and was brilliant in the snow. I know that is more than one reason bur that's the point as it's a great all rounder

The looks, the performance, the handling, the whole essence of the car. The Impreza is a VERY capable car .....

Love everything about the impreza and even more so since i picked up my 3rd one, a spec d in Feb. I remember last year after my back operation (prolapsed disk & spinal tumours-nasty, very nasty, but ok now) i got me old fella to drive me old bug as it had been sitting idle for a couple of months and honestly the smile on his face when he was driving it for the first time was great. He's been a car salesman for most of his years and appreciates a decent car and he was absolutely loving the drive until i told him that if he got caught speeding he was getting the points & fine, that slowed the tight old bugger down....lol

the handling more than anything.

performance is lively, but it's definitely the planted feel on the road that I like most.

I suppose for me apart from everything about them,everything associated with them the good crack on here it's got to be the seating position no other car like it and I've drove a few !

Plenty of reasons, but the main two for me are the pound for pound performance, for family car money you can have a great all round car, that can get thrown around a track, run to the shops and back, pop the kids in the back and can be tuned to 500bhp oh and the other one

the sound, that flat four burble there is something about it that keeps pulling me back to them, tried plenty of others but always end up behined the wheel of an impreza. Other than a dirty V8 the flat four takes some beating!!

As above.Also individuality,hardly seen many other Legacy B4 saloons.
Anonimity.People who do look generaly have a confused look on there face.
Great drivers car & peoples shock when they are driven in it. One of my mates said after
a drive down to the south coast 'well that's the first time I've been that far without stopping at a single roundabout' Mind you,he does drive like a myopic granny.LOL

The sound, the handling, the good fuel consumption (i had a jag previosly) and the fact it can be used as a family car, or a tool for a good thrash about.
