Them posting gains probably has something to do with them completely pulling out of WRC.

I doubt it being they are pulling out AFTER the 2008 season. They posted gains because the Forester and Impreza was selling and they were posting gains pretty much all year long. The legacy caught up though.

Not all, but most are

Ignorant and shitty to you
Rude
Think every fucking thing is covered under warranty including state inspections
Cheap
Can't talk or speak english
Think the entire warranty is 10 years 100k and it covers everything.
People who buy Kias can't afford to get them fixed, of course they want everything for free.

0% financing on 08 STI's is what happened I would soooooo buy an 08 STI...if I wasn't getting ready to buy a house. I'm new to Suby's after driving honda/acura/nissan for 15yrs...I don't know why I didn't start sooner

Exactly. They can't afford the maintenance.

I miss my Subaru. But yeah, its pretty bad ass that they did so well.

I mean, honestly it shouldnt be too much of a surprise. Subaru manufactures quite the quality product these days.

They do have their problems from time to time like most other(Nasioc can show you that, but that is a very small few of the owners on there)., but make a very stout vehicle and we see many with 200+ on them.

They gave Forester customers what they wanted a bigger vehicle and I think that was one of the reasons it did so well. I had all my 98-08 Forester customer wishing it sat higher and had more room. They did that for the 09 model.
