Gonna be getting a new car soon.. thoughts?

Gonna be trading the ole mazda 3 in on a newer 09ish subaru impreza..

i want AWD, and we already have a new outback and love it. so..

anyone currently have one? or know anyone who has one?

pros? cons?

seem pretty decent. nothing huge as far as problems with the ones I've seen at the shop. Tires tend to be on the pricier side, because of the size... but any size tire is expensive anymore. I'd say go for it.

Sti!!!!

Pros: It's AWD
Cons: It's not an Evo, or even a WRX [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Should be a nice ride, pretty easy to work on and maintain. Just keep up with it and watch for signs of head gasket problems and it will last a heck of a long time, and they are brilliant fun in the snow.... I know a lot of people would say "safe" but I'm more concerned about "fun".
