So after months of research, I'll be coming to a decision for a new car.
Which Subaru is the question ). Unless some last minute test drive sways me towards another brand.
Leaning towards a Forester and while that makes me want to go XT, that's like WRX price territory.
Probably would go for the 2.5 engine Forester, then.
I test drove an Impreza but was not too crazy about it.
Not a fan of the Legacy 15/16 design, but maybe I'll consider I can find older models.
Sori, if you ever consider something that's from 1990 or earlier, perhaps a more classic Subaru, send me a PM and I would be happy to listen and discuss what you're looking for.
There are lots of well-priced and clean Japanese cars (both LHD and RHD) that have been properly maintained and have relatively low mileages that you could potentially consider.
You could even consider something like a R32 GT-R, Audi S4, or some other AWD cars if they are more to your tastes.
I have been developing a business around my hobby as an automotive enthusiast and specialist in classic European and Japanese cars, and am capable of finding, exporting, and importing any car in Japan (JDM, German, Italian) to any country, including Canada, US, UK, and NZ for example, as long as the car corresponds with the import regulations of each country (import regulations are 15 years or older for Canada, and 25 years or older for US), and would be happy to help. Personally have already exported and imported 4 cars for myself, and would love to help others realize their automotive dreams as well.
Cheers
