Well I am back in the saddle again. I don't have to drive that POS 06 Subaru. Everytime I have to write a payment check for it, I hate it more. I accepted the fact that it is uglier than a bent sh*t can, and you have to be rubberman to get into the thing, but that F**ken throttle. It's a computer throttle that has a dead spot at the beginning when you start to apply it. You can't be smooth with the clutch. If you are not past the dead spot, you kill the engine, if you are in traffic and apply a little throttle it lurches forward or stops. The car handles very well on compact snow and ice. The wheels are so small that if snow or water is deep you get pulled allover the place. On dry pavement it handles like a sports car. I have always had American cars, but got screwed on the last two, so I thought I would give the Japs a try, What a joke and for $20K. Boy do I feel had.
