I had twin turbo Legacys in recent years and I'd certainly have another. In fact I'm plotting to change to a twin scroll GT sometime soon.

Nothing else comes close to the SVX driving experience in a modern car, although in fairness the SVX is more soft and plush in how it rides and changes gear compared to the more sporty Legacys. The legacy GT does however tick all the boxes in terms of how it handles bad weather driving.

I think Subaru are currently taking a hammering because they stuck with the driveability of the horizontally opposed engines combined with AWD. They could have gone a cheaper or a more economical route, but they did not because the company is driven by engineers, not marketing bums.

They deserve our support for giving us the sort of driving we like.
