It's an '05 base model. No turbo. So far I really like it. It gets decent
mileage. I couldn't find a cheap RWD car so I went w/ the
next best thing. AWD. Can't wait to play in some snow.

Photos please! Tell us more about your Suby. I would love to have
one. I seriously looked at those too... In an ideal world I'd have
my projects sold and have the truck for major trips and a Subaru wagon
for the quick trips around town (to the Post Office, UPS, etc.). Very
capable cars.
