I cannot say ENOUGH good about Subarus. We have owned 11 or so over the years. Started with an 81' 4x4 wagon, and the last one was an 03' Forester. Simply THE best winter/slippery raod vehical out there, sans a true 4x4 Audi Quattro with air assist locking diff's front/rear. They will out perform ANY SUV, and 4x4 truck out there for winter road profomance. As stated only thing that will cook you is DEEEP DEEP snow. We currently are Subie"less" as our third child in a car seat simultaneously and it just wouldnt work in a Subie. I have NEVER heard of ANY engine problem??? the only issue on older ones was "Y" pipes rotted out. The Legecy model was a bit of an odd one, made in US and not up to Subie standards.

I've pulled enough out of 6" of snow with my stock 4x4 truck to know they are not all that great. People in the hills of WV trade in their trucks for them and find out they don't do any better, use the same amount of gas going up the hills and take more maintenance then trade them in for another truck after a few years.
