Many people around here are Subie fans. They are great in winter.
I tried renting them for some long haul trips before we picked up our 9-5... actually, that is what convinced us to buy a 9-5... we were very underwhelmed by the forester we rented, but driving the c900 cross country was no longer a good option with kids. Anyway, in the process of sourcing subies to rent, I spoke with a guy at the local subie dealer, and he claimed to be a former saab guy - but he felt Subie was the new SAAB. I can kind of see that with the WRX, and the rallying and snowsport stuff... however the gearing and the solidity and the ergonomics of the Subarus I've driven just didn't feel anything like a SAAB does to me (felt more like a Honda). BUT, I have not driven a WRX - only the other ones, and that probably makes a huge difference!
Wow, does this mean someday there will be a Subienet? Maybe you will have more of us going that route also!
