I'd buy again.

I gave only 4 stars on performance but 5 stars on everything else. The power output has been the same since 2004 using the same engine platform from day 1 and needed some more poines (I always thought they should have been 6 cylinders and turbcharged), reliability has always been pretty good for me with these cars but overall it gets a soild 5 stars. I've had 6 Subarus and all of them have been great cars.

Most stylish car I have driven

It is not comfort car, but I guarantee it is a performance car which is ready to be tuned up. If you like cars, you need to try this one as soon as possible.

Japanese cars never break.

This little 4 cylander is the best you can ever have. You can never go wrong with cars from Japan. Unlike American cars, these actually last long.
