I really like the sporty look of the car. It was made in 2002 but the cars look is timeless. It is a turbo charged 4 cylinder. It is very quick if you need the occasional adrenaline rush to pass someone on the freeway. This car has 220000+ miles on it and it is still going strong. I have a manual version of the vehicle and is very fun to drive. Put on an aftermarket exhaust and you have what sounds like a V8 engine. This car is good for all kinds of activities all because of the help of AWD. I love driving in the snow because of this car. I love the fact that I can take this car out to the mountains for a ski trip and fit all my skis from the trunk through the middle of the seats. The only thing I can complain about is the lack of leather seat options. It could be easier to clean than ... (more)
Story
I got this car when I was very young. I was getting off of my evening shift job. I pick up some friends and drove out to meet some other friend about an hour away. I went through a highway going way too fast for a stock vehicle. Lets just say I pushed the cars limits. It just make me think about how dumb I was as an adolescent.
Pros
I love the reliability.
Cons
Cloth material felt cheap. Stitching did not hold up well on the driver side.

My Subaru hatchback is all I really ever wanted in a vehicle. It's reliable and roomy enough for a small family. It hauls all the small things a mom might decide to bring home and does well on gas. Handles like a boat and can't fit three car-seats all in the back row, but at that point, you should just get an SUV if you're looking to pack that much in.
Story
Camping in Subaru is always a blast, because the back seats fold down my husband and I often go to the local lake and fish all day and sleep in the back at night.
Pros
The best things about my car are probably the ability to throw something in the back if need be, fairly good gas mileage for a hatchback, and the safety and reliability that comes from a Subaru. Also having all-wheel drive is a big plus living in a state that gets snow in the winter, so I never have to worry about poor handling under bad weather conditions.
Cons
I do wish my hatchback had a few better things about it, like because of it being a hatchback it makes lots of road noise and rides like a pontoon. It could also use more space in the cab and a better sound system as well. I especially would like if my car would cool down better, because of the big cab, it is a huge pain to keep the car cool in the back seat and with kids that can become quite a big problem because car seats face away from the air.
