"Everybody should have a Subaru AWD"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Absolutely nothing.

Except I wish the gas mileage could be better, getting an average of 20-21MPG.

General comments?

Most stable car I have driven.

Handles extremely well. Awesome in the rain, and when cornering hard on dry pavement.

Surprised on how nice it rides, for a car that can corner. Cars that handle well usually sacrifice in ride quality, but not this one.

Will keep this one forever if I can. Second car will be a manual though.

I agree, my next subi will be a manual also, the automatic is nice, but it would be better acceleration and more fun with a manual.

I have a manual 98 GT Wagon and absolutely love it.

Yeah I just bought a 98 2.5gt with a 5spd. I drove a wagon 2.5gt with an auto, and the 5spd in the Sedan I have makes a ton of difference in the fun factor. The engine seems way, way more peppy when you can choose what revs you want to run. Besides, any real driver will opt for a stick any day over an auto.
