I think the two year models are very similar, if any changes at all. The interior is very pedestrian, a couple more bells and whistles would be nice. I ordered a limited as well, and wanted the adjustable arm rest. When it arrived, i got the sport kit for free. SPT Exhaust and Short shift kit and the fancy all weather mats. I have heard of them. When I was shopping for rims decided to go 16s to have more and cheaper tire options. Ended up with some cheap knock off brand, I just didn't care. they look okay, but meh, nothing special.
I have a large hill to get to my house and love being the only one who takes the direct route up the hill, everyone else drives the backside of the hill as it is less steep. The Volvo never had issues, but the Subie runs right up it with no issue.

I bet going up your hill is always interesting Captain!
I've loved my Subaru this year, although the idiots in front of me tend to piss me off. When you're stuck behind cars 3 wide doing 30 up I-25 when 55-60 is not a problem, you'd yell at them too!

Spooph, thanks for the info, that was what I was looking for and I'll google some of the things you said so I can learn more
Like others said knowing how to drive in this snow makes a huge difference. I go around corners in parking lots to make my car slide out so I know how to react when it happens in a emergency. I've had people say I am crazy for doing this, but to me it is riskier to not practice and that is why people freak out when it happens and have no idea what to do.
Snow tires so make a huge difference. My old Eclipse was not every good in snow, but with studded Nokias it was great in snow.
This is my biggest gripe. I am rarely afraid to drive because of myself, but because of other people. And to me it seems like the over cautious ones are the most dangerous one. Yesterday at about 4:30 on Satna Fe there was a lady going 25mph in the fast lane holding up traffic way back. People were trying to get around her and causing more danger than if this lady just moved over to the right lane. I have no issues with people who want to take it slow, but at least stay in slow lane or let people pass when you see you are backing traffic up
Yeah very similar. Here is mine
I ended up getting s sick deal on a set of Rota's from a ebay dealer; Wheelbay. I was worried they would be knockoffs, but comments stated this seller had been around a long time so I took the chance. Worked out.

Hmmm. You guys were driving around in snow yesterday? That sucks. I was rolling around with my top down. Lol.

I had two Audis, the last one was an '06 A3 with the Haldex AWD differentials, and before that an older 80's Quattro with the Torsen diffs. The older AWD system was rally bred and launched like a mofo in the snow when I locked the diffs.

I'm that guy in the FWD acura integra ripin the e-brake at every corner possible in the snow.

I have a TSX with SN2s, and a F150 4X4 with blizzaks.
Earlier this winter driving south on 25, I saw somethin in the corner of my eye. Somebody in oncoming traffic lost control and went right into the median right besides me, all I saw was the poof of snow but it was right by me.
Then my gf came up to visit me while I was working in Wyoming, flipped her car in the median going home on 25.
Then the company man on our rig was driving to work, a lady in the oncoming lane of 25 lost control, went ACROSS the median, hit him head on and he was nearly killed.
And yesterday, again driving south on 25, I witnessed a northbound jeep lose control, skid around 25 and come to a rough slam against the divider in the median.
Having a capable vehicle with proper equipment (tires) for the weather is great, but...
Fuck. This. Winter.
I'm sure summer is far more deadly with motorcycles and people racing around at high speeds, but I'm so over the stuff I've been seeing this winter

That's because people need to slow the fuck down. I don't care what kind of car and what kind of traction control with what tires you have. You have to slow the fuck down.
I80 Donner Pass is always a nightmare in the snow. Its fun driving eighty thousand pound truck and watch the 4wd/Awd idiots spin out in front of you because they are going too fast and tried to change lanes too quickly.
Or what happens here. Failing to maintain your lane.

Your idea of fun is different than mine. It's almost always the 4wd vehicles in the ditch, or 70/30 anyway. I have absolutely zero desire to run the hills anymore in a truck. I'm quite happy driving my rusted shitbox mule around the yard.
and my 95 Ranger does just fine with its Kumho highway all seasons. It would probably be more fun to drive with a new steering box though.
Looking forward to the next snow storm in our new Grand Cherokee Trailhawk V8
Oh my God it's not a Subaru you'll never make it through snow
I drive a 1991 BMW 525 all winter with the cheapest tires Discount carries. Never been stuck.
This whole thread is a group masturbation session for your Subarus. And don't even get me started on Subaru.
2 Subies, 1 Ranger, 1 old Jeep, 1 new Jeep. Yeah, that sounds like a subaru circle jerk. So you come into a circle jerk to announce you don't like circle jerks (your idea of a CJ, not mine).
Or would you just rather everyone came to the post about how awesome your downpayment on your new bike is and then just stopped the internet?
