I hate the Subarus, much to tiring to use every day with that awful un-even exhaust note and over hard ride. Plus they look just plain awful!

They do have some very big reliability issues to!

I drove an ex-works Evo6 rally car on a mixed surface track once.....now that WAS impressive!

The interiors are hardly comfortable or nicely styled either....

So, assuming I were buying a car solely for performance and sod the comfort / reliability / expense / looks / practicality, the Subaru would be way down my list because on that score it comes up against some serious competition.

My friend`s Scooby 'Forrester' seems well sorted; not a single niggle, rattle or fault in 4 years from new, great ride quality and in normally aspirated-form the boxer is free-revving and torquey [size=9](been there on holiday once) ;D[/size]

I think that's the point. The basic car is a pretty tough workhorse. It's just that bolting on a Turbo doesn't make them the ultimate performance car IMHO.

theyre also intensely annoying the exhaust note is crap and as i said before the drivers think of them selves as colin mcrae because of the exhaust and they are not safe they score between 2 N Cap *s and 3 *s

who would want a £30 excessive noise ticket off the old bill every other week because theyre car is too noisy
Most of the drivers wear caps as well, usually back to front.
