Still thinkin

Hello Guys Thanks for all the replies. I now have some serious thinking to do. Unfortunatly all you Subaru owners are too smart to buy a new Sub and turn around and sell it 18 months later and taking a depreciation hit. The point about a non turbo is well recieved. My bank account may force me to be looking at something early 90's for myself and my wife will get my nice new pickup truck. An early 90's sub would be really fun for me.

Can anyone tell me what year the turbo forrester's and legacy's became available. I will be forced to purchase a used car. And after reading about the performance gains with a turbo I am intriged(sp?).

Thanks for all the advice and for the congrats, it is appreciated. I now have some interesting food for thought. I really want to stay away from FWD because where I live( rural Canada) we can sometimes be two or three days without a snowplow, and when it comes it often blocks the driveway, not enough to stop my truck but usually trouble for the Jetta even wth good Nokians all the way around. One thing I find about the car with very good winter tires is that on ice or packed snow it holds the road better than the truck. So now that I have more info I may consider an AWD minivan, but an new Sienna is $62,000 Cdn after tax-that is way out of my league. Could look at a Dodge but really really don't like the high depreciation. Please keep the info coming I really appreciate having different trains of thought to help me make the best decision. Take care, Mike M.

Tribeca is out of the price range, unfortunately. And I will be very dissapionted with the performance of almost any mini van, not to mention their AWD capabilities. If anyone out there has less common sense please convince me.

Hello My name is Mike. I just joined today. I recently found out my wife is having twins and may need to trade off her Jetta. I really like the safety and performance of the Subaru vehicles. If you guys have time please make some points on which vehicle I should be looking at. The only cars I am interested in are the turbo's, because if I have to go the family wagon route I only want to grow up half way. Cheers guys, Mike M
