Funny & True

It’s a winning model perfected by its new step-parent Toyota, which makes this revelation of suck all-the-less surprising.

Never before have I actually enjoyed a terrible Subaru review, but that was great.

"Cheezy glitz defines the rock-hard polymers that mimic textured stainless steel on the gaudy and protruding tall center stack (an annoyingly awful new Subaru family trait)....."

That was a pretty good read.....and very true in my opinion.

Subarus have always been very characteristic. I've always been able to spot any EA or EJ from miles away. I passed a 2010 Outback today and thought it was a Lexus. Those taillights are DIRECT clones.

It would almost seem like Subaru (Toyota ?) really wants to eliminate that model within their line-up with that vehicle

"Cheezy glitz defines the rock-hard polymers that mimic textured stainless steel on the gaudy and protruding tall center stack (an annoyingly awful new Subaru family trait)....."

This seems to be true of nearly every car these days.

 

Whatever happened to the basic utilitarian car? Seems to me that's what most Subarus were, and that's why they became so popular. Same with the Volvo 245. They last forever, get good fuel mileage, can tow a small trailer with ease, and you can throw whatever you want in the back close the hatch and off you go.

 

I've read a lot of good reviews on TTAC. Good as in, they tell it like it is.

its sad the way Subaru is heading, when i park next to a 08-09 impreza they seem to dwarf my 97 leggy
