It was a great car for its time. It's the car that turned me into a Honda fanatic. It's predecessor was an 80 Rabbit which explains a lot.
How the heck did you do that?
Have owned Chevy, Olds, Mercury, Ford, Dodge, Plymouth, Chrysler, Honda, Mazda, all had strong & weak points.
Have owned 1 VW (2000 Passat) and that is the one I would never have bought if I knew what a unreliable piece of c**p it would turn out to be!
Seems fairly cold to me, but I know that' just another winter's day for you folks in New England and the frigid north. ;-)
I would pretty much buy my car again, BTW. '09 Subaru Outback Sport, great cruising and canyon car, I just passed the 20K mile mark. The only significant downside is the totally crappy fuel economy. We will see if gas goes past $4/gal this summer......might be parking it for a while (!!)........if they made a hybrid or diesel version, I would pay the extra bucks for it.

Usually I'm getting 30-31 in the warmer months.
Getting ready to hit 65k and ready for my first set of brakes on all corners. Other than that and a rattling gearbox, the thing runs like a champ. Goes thru the snow really well too. Even with th 10-15" we are expecting tomorrow, I have no fear that my Scooby will get stuck.
I can live with it, but since the topic is "would you buy another" I thought I would mention that I would only buy another if they offered a powertrain that could deliver high 30s, maybe 40 mpg.
300 hp Audi Quattros make the same fuel economy as my little 2.5L Scooby....

Wind and humidity can make a bigger difference in how it feels.
The AWD RAV4, with 20 more horses and 500 more pounds plus a much higher profile, makes better mileage than my Subaru. So it can be done, and it can be done at this price point. Time for Subaru to do it. ;-)
