What's your favourite thing about your Subaru?
For me, my 2003 WRX Wagon it's just a great all-rounder. It goes about it's business and can be fun when needed but functional as an Estate (helped with house move).
The only draw back is that I keep getting people trying to race me all the time but they are either ignored or blown away (if safe).
Every time I get back into my EP3 Type R the car just feels very cheap in comparison and I love that car. I've always been a multi-car owner but the Subaru has made me rethink that ethos a fair bit. I just love driving it.
How about the rest of you?

I like my 6 speed gearbox. Feels so mechanical and robust when changing gear.
The sorted chassis too. I drove a standard Focus ST a few months back, it just felt rubbish in comparison. Quick for sure, but not a real sense of engineering or machinery.

Bit like you really, the flexibility of it.
I'm a wagon owner too and I like the fact it's practical, reliable, not too slow, 4wd.
The hatch is a big part of the appeal for me with the car. I've owned saloons but when you live with a wagon and do tip runs, DIY runs or have kids & dogs the practical side mixed with the performance makes them very appealing.
When I think of what to replace it with, I really struggle. Only thing I can think of is a JDM hatch (for the 2.0) but I'm not going to be in a place to buy one any time soon.

Instant pick up, over taking ability, braking (yes -even of standard 4pots!), stability in all conditions and of course.........that flat four rumble.
Apart from that I can't really think of anything.

I love the old classic looks of my Greenwagon and the rumble from the flat four
Still turns heads when I drive it once a week due to its rarety now
Quite like the old interior which makes you feel that your really driving a classic car
I love my Nismo for its looks and my new Honda Gt for its gadgets but the passion is still with my old Greenwagon
