I really like the fact that you can mod the crap out of their motors, and have yourself a rocket for a daily drive, in any weather. How's your wife liking the WRX? We just picked up a 16 Impreza, and we're loving it. Subaru seems like a top notch company to deal with. Good quality cars at competitive prices. I hear you on the bike. I'll just buy an older one to cruise around on from time to time.
