Not me.....
Have never really liked the way the Subaru boxer 4 sounds. Something like a CrissCraft boat I think. I'm in a family related car.....06 VW GTI. And have my eye on getting the new 2012 VW Golf R when it comes out. All wheel drive, choice of gearbox's, 2.0 turbo engine making 270hp. That will do it for me. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1294100257.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1294100271.jpg |
While I am redoing the 86 cab I use my 2000 Audi A6 2.7 twin turbo (chipped:D) as the family transportation, my wife drives a 2003 Saab93 cabriolet, and pretty much the rest of the road time is spent on the BMW K1200LT touring bike.
I expect to have the 911 finished in time for the Easter run, and I was sad to miss the SOCAL NYD run once again. |
Well I don't have a Suby, but I do have it's Japanese cousin for daily duties.

I feel like the theory isn't "Porsche owners own Subarus" but rather, "If you own a 911 (or any non 4 door Porsche) odds are you own something quite a bit more practical."
I have my 535is when I need to move more than two people around: http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1294107543.jpg |
No. I have a crummy old suburban. The SC is my DD.

My mom had a Subbie wagon.
I had a CJ7 http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1294110852.jpg and on my third trooper/Acura http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1294110916.jpg |

I had a Subaru once - and it turned out to be the worst car I ever owned. I spent more time/effort/money keeping that thing running for the 6 years (and that's the shortest I've ever held on to a car) I owned it than all my other cars put together (although the 911 may change that statement as I rebuild it this spring).
I've only had 3 other cars in the last 25 years (all Audi's) in addition to the P-car. I don't plan on getting rid of the Audi's any time soon. |
V8 Touareg in white of course. All in the family.

WOW - that is scary - I have an 81 SC (daily driver - my only car) but, my wife drives a 2006 Subaru Outback....and so do I whenever we go somewhere as a family.

The Subie is a great car and a lot of bang for the buck. A few goodies have made it even better: chipped, exhaust, downpipe, and suspension enhancements. Had it tuned on a dyno to almost 300 hp and it still gets 21-22 mpg. Had it for a year and a half and never a problem. Got a 2004 Avalanche for the heavy hauling. Best truck I have ever owned. And then, of course, there is the heartthrob.

Porsche & Subaru
Funny,
I own them both: 05 C2S and 04 WRX. Total of 10 cylinders in Boxer configuration. Both a great fun to drive. Cheers. Edit: Here is an interesting link about similarities between P-car and Subbie: http://www.automobilemag.com/reviews/coupes/0103_carrera_4_impreza_wrx/compared.html The SPD Tuning site no longer exists, however. |

I currently own an '08 Impreza 5-door. I love it because it does all and gets me through winter without a hitch. My wife drives a smart, but is less enamored with it and wants another Subie. Most likely we'll sell / trader her smart for another Porsche and she'll drive the '08. If my next Porsche is not a four season car (a.k.a. Boxster or 996 C4) I'll probably buy a "cheap" Subie to supplement it. FWIW Subies of Record: 2008 Impreza 5dr - 2003 Forester (Red-hers) - 2006 Impreza 5dr (hers) - 2005 Legacy - 2003 Forester (silver-hers) - 2000 2.5RS - 2002 WRX - 1995 Legacy Wagon |
Traded my 2000 Legacy for a brand new '04 STi and loved it. Too much negative attention though so after three years I traded the STi in on the new Odyssey my wife didn't get when I bought the STi. :D

Living proof- Audi Q7 towing my 79 911T

Yep, we also own a fantastic Audi Q7 which I used to haul home my Christmas Gift the other day. The Audi is great-- lots of power, suprising breaks and you can't breat the quatro when going skiing. |
