Not to diss your ride, it sounds like you like it, but that is the last vehicle that I will EVER own again. In the reg model (Imprezza), I couldn't make it my hill in the winter(a chevette used to make it), in the 1st RS, I came off of a side street, at 10mph, and slid accross the street slamming it sideways into the curb, this one also went through 2 transmissions (one before/one after), and the 2nd RS, sounded like a lawn mower after a year and the heat shields on the cats were always rattling. Now we have a Limited Edition Legacy, and it's heat sheilds are rattling.It's only 2yrs old. They have just gone way down hill since they stopped making them 4WD G wagons. Which I had an 80's model that was bulletproof. Now THAT, was a real rally car. Boy it loved the whooppydoos! Plus, they are built for Asians, not full size Americans. I can't stand a car I can't wear a baseball cap in without leaning my seat all the way back.

You can super charge a poop sandwich, but it's still a poop sandwich.

I can hear my wife now, "I hear a noise downstairs, go get the Ninja!". Hey wait, that kinda sounds like it would work...
