Okay, mines not particularly new or flash by todays standards, but I absoloutely love my little '07 WRX.
Reasons;
- When you need it to, it really goes, but being a turbo, when you drive it like a normal sane person, you don't eat through the fuel. I used to have a 04 Forrester that was slow as anything - it would change gears at odd times, and rev high, and not move (never driven an auto I really liked). Yet the mileage is the same.
- It's sporty, but it does fit the kids too, even for camping (amazing how few cars can fulfil these dual functions without morphing into an SUV)
- Because of this, I can use it as my normal commuter car
- It's '07. It's in great nick, but I won't be sinking my knees in despair like that guy in 'platoon' first time it gets a ding or a scratch.
- It hugs the road like a possum pancake
- Reliable. It just keeps on keeping on.
