What does this car say about you?

Not ready to settle down! But I did get it in dark grey so I hope it does not shout boy racer too much. The engine noise is quiet which I prefer. I'm not a cap wearing chav.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Friend with 4x4, kids and dogs almost went out and got one after he drove it! Father with city car had no prob coping with it.

Yes because of Subaru's reputation of long lasting cars with no problems.

Would like to try a convertible one day.

Great price. EU import from Subaru dealer in Cyprus which is part of the EU and drives on the left. Exactly the same as a UK car. V5 shows me as owner from new so no worries with insurance.

Great price from car supermarket.

What was the dealer like?

Fine. No probs.

Easy to drive. Fine for normal city driving. Puts a smile on your face when you can put your foot down! Bit bumpy on poor roads but it is a sports car. Fuel needle visibly drops on long motorway journeys!

What's it like to park?

Always had hatchbacks previously so harder to judge backwards distance when parellel parking.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Battery went flat during winter but prob my own fault cos had not used it much and was doing short journeys. Fine since jump started it.

What's most practical about your car?

Plenty of room. Surprisngly big boot.

Came with a tape cassette player! (as well as a cd player)
