This car has amazing handling, never loses traction, and is very reliable. I have never gotten stuck anywhere and am never worried about driving in anything short of a blizzard.

It is A Wagon...but for the situation we were in it is def. the best car ever for $500.00. It is also a standard which makes it fun to drive and alittle better on gas!Spent more on tires then any mechanical problems!

Great car and fun to drive. Was never worried in the snow. Got about 24mpg city and up to 30mpg highway. Wish it hadn't been in an accident, because otherwise it was a great car and stuck around for a long time. Hated to sell, but had to move away. Leather was nice, but wish it had heated seats. Put in an aftermarket stereo and speakers which helped. Sunroof was great! A/C was broken most of the time I had the car till I fixed and sold it. Heater worked great. Cup holder in awful spot. Above stereo?! What were they thinking. Could have used better head lights.

Subaru makes a very durable car that has lots of interior room, and will drive anywhere, anytime and forever . Very good gas mileage for an awd car. Handles well, smooth ride, and a very quiet and vibration free 4cyl engine.

I payed $400 for my car and it is the funnest car i have owned so far. The AWD gives it a very tight and responsive feel even at hight speeds on dirt even though the tires I have on it have a floatieness to them. I bought this car with 167,XXX miles on it and I have put one wheel bearing, one ball joint, brakes, and tires on it. I have put this car through more hell than any car should go through, and it just keeps going. My car is a 2.2l boxer engine with an automatic. I have had it going about 100 so far and that was on a tight windy road. I love the way this car just sticks to the road in AWD. I get about 32mpg. As far as being rugged i would say this ties with another subaru my friend had (97 impreza) for toughest little jap car I have seen. The looks are a good mix between "sporty" and "dont pull me over"
