I'm going to buy a subaru impreza, but i can't decide between the three models...
I want to use it for mostly on road driving and some moderate (old ditched logging roads) off road driving. Also, lots of winter and rainy driving.
The TS has the obvious atrration due to the price, but
I like the outback because of the 1 cm more ground clearance but wonder if it affects the handling. Also the low profile tires seem to be likely to give you a flat if you hit a rock of any size.
And well the WRX, well who wouldn't want 227 hp. But I probably don't need any more speeding tickets....
Thanks for any imput

 

Don't get the outback.

Just join a driving club, and go to the track every few weeks or something. After going into turns at 110 mph, you won't be compelled to speed on boring roads and highways

 

Wait till next spring and get a turbo legacy....:P

 

yeah that turbo legacy look's like it's going to be off the hook............

 

Personally I want the 2003 Forester XT. Yeah that T means it is has a TURBO.

Too bad I can't afford one right now.

Maybe when I finally go back to work.

 

I have a 2002 RS and it does really nice offroad with some aggressive winter tires on it. It can handle quite a bit of abuse. I have been tearing it up for last year on logging roads and mud roads with friends.

 

Get the TS in San Remo red! Really, does 1cm make that much difference?
