You might try Vermont--I hear they love Subarus up there, especially
those
horrid things with the flat-four engines.


Yeah, those flat fours that last 300K miles! My friend's old Forester
was sold with 220K and wasn't burning a drop of oil and still on the
original tranny. That's a common story for Subaru.
All of the Subaru's are popular here in NY. Tons of them in PA, plenty
in CT, but we only saw Impreza's in SC.
Subaru continues to post gains in all markets while Ford, GM and
Chrysler can't get panel switches to work!

Right. If Subarus are so great, why does J.D.Powers always place Toyota and
Honda at the top of the reliability heap, with Subaru buried somewhere down
the list? Same with Consumer Reports.

Dunno. My personal experience with Subarus has been excellent, tho.
Never had any probs with any of the 4 I've owned, and they do hold
resale value well here in Oz. I have nothing bad to say about Toyotas &
Hondas either but can't speak from personal experience.

Note that I have no interest in the rev-head toys Bob likes. I like the
conservative, slightly overweight, very solid and well engineered
sedans. It's nice to have a car whose image is the opposite of the
driver's :-)
