Why don't I want a Subaru?

My Mustang had 6 miles on it when I took it from the dealership.
And the whole "break it in how you'll drive it" is a myth. Modern engines are broken in before they leave the factory these days.
These aren't late 60s muscle cars with ridiculously loose tolerances.
I bought my R6 with 12 miles on it.........babied it like crazy for the first 1000 miles (I was new to 2 wheels), and when I sold it at 30k (remember beat on it like a red-headed step child and track days) it still didn't need a valve adjustment or show lack of compression, etc. Quit listening to the 65 year old guys.

I identify as a bear.

It has also thus far failed to do me wrong.

Come out to the autox on the 10th and take a ride along in my '13 Stg 2 STI as well as a friends new '15 bone stock WRX and see what you like. There's a reason that this forum has its own Subaru owners thread.
But for the love of god, don't compare a 4th gen to a subaru LOL.

So even if there was a dealer in Tulsa, its probably not such a good idea.
And I cannot fathom spending 35K on an Evo or STi. Plus, take a gander at what the replacement cost is if you blow the fancy paddle-matic Evo X trans. But don't worry, Mitsu is great at honoring warranties right?

Yeah, in terms of buying new, STi over Evo any day.
The solution is a 30K new STi with a 4B11 in it.

I loved my 97 Outback. Slow as **** but indestructible and was bomber in the winters. I hated the gas mileage though.
For a daily, my Jetta Sportwagen TDI has been 80k miles of bliss. Can't argue with 48 mpg and comfort. Plus with a good set of winters I never have a problem in the snow.
And before anyone brings up lolfailvwmaintenance, I haven't had to do anything besides standard maintenance.
