Long story short, she had a Mazda 3 5 door, I traded that in for a Tacoma, which made her a sad panda. Year later, I gave in, and decided to give up the truck and get her a car of her own back.

With the last snow storm, she decided to she like an AWD car, so we started looking at Subaru, but most of the Impreza's doesn't have the options she was looking for, so we ended up getting a rebadged Impreza, we now call the "Snobaru".. aka "Saabaur" aka "Saab 9-2 x".

I like the Saabaru's

I considered one because I loved our WRX wagon so much. I just hated that it did not have leather and some other features. That is why I was excited to find that WRX Wagon Limited.

Yes, they are the worst and shows the dirt first, but they are so beautiful when they are clean and shiny.
and that last for an entire 60 seconds before they need to be washed again.

35.10
33.80
33.62
32.99
32.98

Lowest
23.69

There is a direct correlation with my poor mpgs and my unusually short tire life span
