Foresters own ! The only Subaru I've ever hated driving is the pooparu, but that thing is 17 years old. The Stratus was brand new, it shouldn't have an excuse. I can understand that it's not meant to be a sporty car, that's fine. But what exactly does it do besides suck ? It's gas mileage is horrendous for a commuter car, it's not comfortable as a daily driver (yah, that's imo), and it handles like a derailed freight train.
I couldn't see you driving a Forester and being like "damn this this is really terrible all around." The AWD is money, the standard Foresters I've driven in have decent acceleration and great gas mileage. You're right though, you really can't compare a quality Japanese auto maker to an American one that puts out a shitty car that people buy anyway.
Sure, maybe the R/T is better overall, I can't say because I haven't driven it. But have you driven the upgraded Forester XT for example ?!? That thing is an STI in a grocery-getter body basically =p
