    Maybe there is something going on that I and other friends (Suby owners) are
    unaware of. Lets know what you are aware of, as I am considering trading again
    soon.
    Ya see that is the problem.
    I am sure that there are good Subaru drivers and good Camry drivers, but IMHO the vast majority and the ones I know have absolutely no interest in cars and seem to have a humour bypass .
    I have spoken to several Subaru drivers who previously owned Volvo wagons and this is no coincidence. The same qualities that attracted a certain type of individual to Volvos ( TANK LIKE SAFE, RELIABLE) attract people to Subarus.
    In a way they are the exact opposite of Land Rovers.

    So my comment was about the package of Subaru and driver , and this was amply illustrated by the poster, who showed the average Subaru driver, seemingly completely devoid of common sense being overloaded and having the CG in the negative. I would hazard a guess that not many Land Rover drivers would make these fundamental errors.

    This syndrome was amply demonstarted by a Cartoon that appeared in Motocycle News many years ago and was also sold as a sticker, saying "Volvo Aware Rider" showing some bowling ladies complete with hats mowing down a motorcyclist in their Volvo while being completely unaware of what they were doing.

    Camry drivers are in the same category, but are usually Chinese and have bought their licence from a "fixer".They blissfully ignore every road rule and cut into queues at the top, turn right by moving in front of you while waiting to turn right and so on.

    Well I owned a wrx for nearly 5 years, put nearly 200,000 trouble free km on it, it's prob the best and most reliable car I've owned so far (not including my disco since I've only had it 3 months) and everything yourve stated about Subaru drivers is the opposite to me and just about all the other Subaru drivers bar 1 that I knew (blonde bimbo chick) so I would say the survey you have taken to come to this conclusion must have been by luck the minority

    So, tell me good sir PhillipA.
    As a Landrover owner, do you like it when people rubbish your particular vehicle?
    Doesn't matter if it's just having a dig, after a while it still gets rather annoying.
    Same applies here.
    We're currently on our 3rd Subaru, we consider them an excellent vehicle and I can assure you that every member of my family is a highly competent driver with considerable experience and an active knowledge of how their vehicle works and the correct ways in which to operate them.
    Except my sister.
    Cheers (Still tongue in cheek, as you say)
