Just driving back from Austin to Houston, so driving along an ordinary secondary highway.

And in a Subaru.  I'm offended that you think so little of me.  Really, a Citroen?  Those aren't even sold in this country, they're so terrible…

[Giles]

(or a Peugeot)…

(I wanted to insult him, not pester him…)

[Chris]

Same thing there- not even sold in the US.  We are apparently biased against unreliable French cars.

God - I'm starting to love the States… And I love Subarus... What d'ya drive?..

[Chris]

Julie drives an Outback.  I drive a Nissan Sentra.  I have a deep love for Nissans, though I concede that they are generally quite dull.

[Seul]

So Julie drives a dyke car and you drive an older homosexual male's car… Interesting!..

Agreed on Nissan though: duller than a napkin, but reliable.

[Chris]

This is our first Subaru and after 72k miles in three years, it's pretty great.  I may have to buy an Impreza when my Sentra finally dies (it only has 163k miles, so I should get another couple of years out of it).

EDIT: And the new Outback (2010 model year and newer) seems to be popular outside the traditional Subaru lesbian demographic.  Wasn't aware of the Sentra's appeal to old gay men.  Maybe that's just a Belgian thing.

Or a Legacy!.. Both are as dull as watching a kangaroo with a sprayed ancle get around, but both are extremely reliable.

[Chris]

Not sure I can talk Julie into letting me have a WRX, so getting one of the juiced up Imprezas may be my best compromise.

We have a Nissan, and I can confirm that it is reliable, economical, and as interesting as cat litter.

Those are tough to find; Subaru didn't make that many SVXs and they stopped production, what, 15 years ago?

I've never enjoyed driving until I got my nissan juke

Don't get me wrong, I love our Nissan Qashqai, and Pam loves driving it, but I could never describe it as exciting.

[Seul]

Yep. My dad almost bought one ten years ago. Maybe this is a legit alt: 2009 2.5 Legacy GT. 243 HP…

Or of course the 2k12 version… 265 HP...

@Megatron1505:

They're not quite the same car. The juke is smaller, 1.6l engine with turbo and 188hp. 0-60 in 6.8sec

[Seul]

That ain't bad at all!.. 

[DougNg]

It excels on corners as well because of the torque steering: the outside wheels get more power on a turn, so you can hit a corner at full speed and not oversteer

[Chris]

Doug, you should have held out for a Juke-R.  They're probably just slightly more fun to drive.;)
