Help Mikey get to one car

[Mike]

Your car is pretty much the catalyst for me not wanting Subaru (one with less power and softer suspension!). Despite having a good amount of power, that thing was a total snoozefest. I really hated it.

I honestly think you're headed the same way with a Jettagon. I bought the Legacy because it met many of the requirements I thought I had, despite it being a pretty boring car. In the end, I didn't really need any of the crap I thought I did. I made some sacrifices on the next car (e.g. AWD) and have a car I enjoy much more. I guess my point is take a serious look at your requirements before settling on boring or else you'll end up with Legacy 2.0.

Again, I am okay with boring. Priorities have shifted. If 0-60 in 8s and a DSG doesn't do it for me, there's watching my fuel economy gauge bounce around the 40s to keep me entertained.

And yeah, if I'm okay with boring I should not be dismissing Subaru. But... I don't know, there's something intangible that snoozes me instantly when it comes to a Subaru that doesn't have 300hp. And I can't stand their styling so there's that.

Friend is visiting from Seattle with his TSX wagon next week. Should get a good impression of it then.
