[quote=""tabasco122""]My wrx was perfect in this regard.[/quote]
Is that an adult car though? Not being mean, not putting down the car, but if you see a guy get out of the car with his family and he drives a wrx....whats your impression of him? His age?
[quote=""Chris GTO TT""]My Legacy was too, just the back seats were on the tight side.[/quote]
The forester XT could Deff be added to my list. If Im gonna be in a subi I need a turbo. Lol.

Isn’t a forester closer to a station wagon? Walking in egg shells. Lol.

Depends on the year, but they haven't made a manual FXT in like 5+ years and the current gen of the Forester doesn't have a turbo option at all.

Yeah, I would be okay with auto but they should have never taken away the turbo.

Actually they should take a page out of old school Honda with a twist. 1996 accord and accord station wagon. The wagon had a bigger engine. Subi do that with their wagon but add turbo. Sold.

You mean like when they made a Legacy Wagon and WRX Wagon, or when the STi only came as a wagon, like that?

I was thinking the same thing when Subaru was mentioned. Around here, at least half of the time it is a car full of teenagers leaving a big vape cloud around the car.
Not real reliable cars either, but maybe that's changed in recent years.

I see old men and women driving them all the time to be honest, then again I live in the PNW. Something about the limited trim seats in that car, I think they were more comfortable than my BMW. I sat in them 19 hours one day and want even hurting lol.

Yeah, I took my buddy and his wife and kid in the WRX on the dragon last time. It's not full sized car roomy but adults can sit in the back.

They're.... More reliable than vw.
Let's be real. It's German. Big, comfy, very powerful, deceptively fast. It's somewhat reliable but when it does break... It's not cheap.
