I've been a Subaru owner since 1995. My '95 Legacy has given me about 12 years of solid reliability, and trouble free miles. with almost 180,000 on the clock, the car is still surprisingly solid. I simply don't think Mitsu has the same reputation and reliability that Subaru does. At least, not in my book. Then again, I had a Plymouth Turismo TC-3, which had a Mitsu powerplant that gave me all types of trouble...but I digress...
I am considering upgrading to a new WRX, or possibly a Benz C280 with 4MATIC. (I work for Benz, and thus get a decent employee discount). Sadly, with theft rates the way they are, I suspect the WRX may cost about the same, if not more, to insure as the Benz does. (Initial cost of the two vehicles is about the same for me) (BTW: thrown hammer: they no longer are making the C-class wagon, so that wouldn't suit your needs, if you were considering something other than a subbie)
Then again, the Legacy GT spec.B sounds intriguing as well...
Not to hijack this thead, but for me, the toss up currently is between a WRX sedan, and a MB C280 4MATIC. Any thoughts?
