They're utilitarian and outdoorsy while being economical and slightly offbeat, that's what draws them. It was VW in the sixties and into the seventies, Volvo after that. Volvo's gotten expensive and VW has gone almost mainstream so they've taken up with Subaru.

I personally don't care what other people buy and drive, I choose what I buy and drive for my own reasons. But as far as a defense, they've all got a five star safety rating, practically all Subaru models are rated as a Consumer Reports “best buy,” they hold their resale value well and they're just neat, interesting vehicles withthoughtful and unusual touches throughout, you can tell engineers hold sway there.

Crapola - I have something in common with them! Yikes.

Good answer! ;) Same here. I didn't know there were certain types drawn to certain cars/makes, though. I hadn't thought much about that but thinking now about some choices of certain people, it's true.

Yes, I checked out the ratings of Subaru and, also, stop people and ask them how they like their Forester. All positive and, usually, it's their second one.

So now I'm more comfortable w/my choice but now it's - should I do it now or wait. I like the 7K part!
