Late joining in ... or maybe I did and I am too lazy to check:
Been driving Subarus since the mid 80's !!
First one was a Loyale ... little thing with that red button on the shifter stick and that behave like a small truck! Tough and reliable.
Next one was an Impreza "station wagon" ... ugly but still dependable.
Then a Subaru Impreza GT followed by two Legacy's ... finally a little Impreza which I am currently driving.
I my part of the world, this symmetrical AWD system is almost a "must" and I wouldn't change brand.
Cheers!
