As far as the Subie goes, well, they mag made a good point, get the standard Legacy GT and hit the aftermarket and save thousands I do like that car as well, very understated and could be made into an "adult" STi



Hey, I totally was on the same track you were. Last year when I was going to buy a car I wanted to get the MS6 but it kept getting delayed, to the point that I said screw it and I was going to buy an Evo. But the styling on the EVO was sort of so-so and my wife Hated it. I liked it, but not enough to buy it without her liking it too.
We ended up settling on the '05 Volvo S40 that is in my sig.
It had all the same criterion, turbo, 6spd and AWD and was in the same price range. However the power was less, but the build quality has been Awesome. I have had it a year almost and have about 13K miles on it and it is still tight as hell, fun to drive and looks outstanding.
