Do you have to vote Democrat in order to buy one? I never knew a car that loved me back. According to the commercial I just saw that's indeed possible.

Subaru drivers piss me off because they drive slow. Prius drivers piss me off for same plus a lot of other reasons.
 
Careful now. Mrs. Fan just bought a used Legacy. They last forever, and she loves it.

I promise there is no latte in our lives, and we're hardcore conservatives, in small town Wyoming.
 
Subaru used to make the XT coupe. Cool car.

A young guy i know claims subarus are for obese childless cat ladies. That's his mental image of subaru owners.

It is widely believed that most subaru owners also own dogs.

I had a subaru. It had ignition problems. I traded it in because problems persisted and dealer couldn't find. That was a long time ago.

Subaru should make a full size truck.
 
We were religious Toyota buyers, until gas prices got out of hand, then it got too expensive to drive our 4-Runner @16 mpg. We bought a Subaru Outback in 17 and added the lift kit to it. I have NEVER regretted buying that car, plus side is we get about 30-32mpg. The thing I had to learn was that @ 70-80mph it only gets about 22mpg, it needs to run about 58-60 for the mileage. Luckily I am now retired so the extra time isn’t an issue.

Ron Jr. has an Impreza. He researched it to death and decided on that because of the resale and all wheel drive.
I think pretty soon he's going to give it to his girlfriend and trade her car on another Subaru. But then the house they bought has a driveway that's about 35 degrees steep.

I damn near bought a Subaru Crosstrek a few years back. Didn’t do it because of the CVT. It was like driving a snowmobile. Hard to describe, but I just didn’t like that.
 
We have considered them because it occasionally does snow and I still like to ski but I have heard where they are either bulletproof or lemons. Not much middle ground. My brother owned one that was a lemon from day one. He got rid of it once the warranty was up and never went back. I'm sure the same story can be said for most manufacturers.

I would like to see car commercials get away from the melodramatic 30 second short story designed to tug at the heart strings....Its a friggin car. Give me the facts, 0-60, 1/4 mile speed, etc

.....And roadkill storage capacity.

It is inconvenient at times, but if you ever drove a manual transmission in San Francisco, you will get used to it.
