Well I'm in a predicament. A little over a year ago I traded my 2006 4Runner in on a 2013 Subaru Legacy. We were living in the DC area and I was commuting 2 hours a day and a sedan was just more practical.
Fast forward to today and my situation has totally changed. I'm working from home full...
Well you said you want a fast AWD car and then said you don't want either of the 2 main options that come to mind...
If you don't want a STI or an EVO the only other thing I would consider is an R32.
Out of curiosity what tires are you running? The OE Turanzas have pretty good traction but they're noisy. I've been looking at the Turanza Serenity Plus and the Michelin MXV4.
That's awesome. If I didn't live in an apartment in the city (with 1 stinkin' space) I would have kept both. It was really hard to trade-in the 4Runner and I would love to still have it.
Well it was hard to do but I parted with the 4Runner. Living in the city and recently getting a much longer commute it was time to upgrade to a sedan with some more creature comforts. I'm definitely going to miss the 4Runner but I'm loving my new (first new car!) Legacy so far.
My girlfriend has a 2010 Limited 2WD.
It's much more comfortable, handles exceptionally well and actually pretty sporty for an SUV (although I do agree with the ridiculously numb steering feel), and gets much better gas mileage. On the highway with the 2WD trim she's getting 28mpg.
