When it came time to replace my vehicle after doing some homework I decided all wheel drive was the way to go and for vehicles in my price range the Subaru was the only way to go. the car drives and handles like a dream, although it could use a more powerful engine. The only main problem I find with this vehicle is the dealer network, from the day since I first purchase the car I have had problems with dealers from going out of business to not living up to warranty work. This problem, Subaru should address since they have such a great car. all in all if you need a great handing auto, but not race car the Subaru is the way to go.
