Default Time for a new(old) DD.

So I recently sold my 1994 Integra GSR, which was my daily driver.
I need a new daily driver with some room for passengers and to haul stuff in.
My price range is 10k~15k.
After alot of researching I've decided on these 2 vehicles:

2004 Subaru Impreza Wagon /Manual

2004 Volvo V70 R /Manual

I know they are 2 totally different manufactureres, but I kinda wanted try something new.(I've only owned Hondas before)


What are you're opinions on these 2 cars?

my girlfriend drives 2004 subaru impreza wagon.... just the 2.5 NA model, no turbo.

its a great little car, i like it alot. it has over 120000 miles on it now and runs just fine. i recently had to replace the stock clutch, but that can be expected with that much mileage. the flat four boxer is a stout motor, very easy to maintain. i have had no major issues with it whatsover. we use this car for everything: camping, mountain biking, road trips, etc. it has a good amount of room for all that. not much power but it does ok. im actually considering a subaru for my next car. its between that and a new 5.0 mustang. the practicality of the subaru has me thinking its a better idea.

no experience with the volvo. is the v70r the turbo 5 cyl model? i expect it to have some more umph than the subaru....unless you are looking into a wrx.

good luck
