Thread: Are Subarus the best cars money can buy?

Would love to see Nissan do this...

I would love to do that lol

go to my website for a lot more lol

The thing with a tuned Subaru - there's something about the choppy exhaust that bugs me. Sure mine has annoyed way more people, but I'm used to it. its just like ruv ruv chop ruv ruv ruv ruv chop chop ruv ruv or something.. IDK..

It's the (inefficient) unequal length exhaust manifolds that makes the trademark Subaru sound.
BRZ doesn't have it. It has a proper manifold.

AWD is a great marketing tool. It's an easy sell to the masses

Ok, I'll play:

Even with equal length header, they still sound silly. Boxer is as boxer does.

@Vadim you know they use B13 Sentra in rallycross, snocross, icecross, whatever you want to call it and it beats out Subies fairly on the regular, right? I was going to buy some kind of vehicle that was either AWD or 4WD. Then I decided buying new tires is way cheaper so I went searching for tires there folks would utilize. My first choice was studded or non-studded. If your state uses salt, then I see little purpose to studs unless you want racing perks. Luckily since PA is the salt capital of the entire United States, I don't need a studded winter tire so I found what is the best non-studded winter tire, bought them, and changed my view on FWD in winter. Nokian Hakkapeliitta R2 FTMFW.

Some folks go to drastic measures and re-chassis themselves for a multitude of reasons which are all fine and personal. As long as folks are happy, that is what matters in the end.

To touch on what @wildmane said, Yes, AWD is a huge marketing craze that EVERYONE in this country buys into. I still haven't seen an AWD F1 race car since the last one made in the 80's by Williams. Not worth the penalties taken on for that particular purpose.

Just got my wife a '14 forester limited...has everything except Nav...7500 mile oil changes, EVEN bulbs, wipers, tires and brakes are covered under warranty, now that's awesome. I think they GREAT for what you pay. Paid $28,119 for the car with factory installed remote start and it has like I said, everything except NAV. Gets great gas mileage, roomy and has some cool features
And my buddy works at the local dealer so I get everything at cost, and a mechanic lol
