I really like Legacy GTs but it doesn’t seem like a subaru is what you’re looking for. And an STi would be kind of silly, it’s sort of a “teenage” car. I’m really starting to love a lot of the new volvos, and if this is a baby carryer you can’t get a much safer ride. ---

I hate the fact that STis and EVOs get classified as “teenager” cars. They are fucking awesome(not to mention, fairly expensive for a pretty nice one). ---

I really liked my speed6, you could probably get one of those for about $15k-$20k Larger than a sti/evo, more sleeper, still awd and 270ish hp, good amenities especially on the grand touring models… ---

+1 for Speed6 Good power, good handling. Reliability seems to be good on them, and on top of that modding sucks supposedly lol ---

having driven a speed6 I would say no, if you like that kind of thing the Subaru legacy GT is a much better car. thinking about it, that special edition legacy GT (the spec B?) might be a great option for the needs here… ![http://www.subarunews.net/news/07_Legacy_spec.B_studioshot.jpg](http://www.subarunews.net/news/07_Legacy_spec.B_studioshot.jpg) ![http://www.subarunews.net/news/07_Legacy_spec.B_FrontSeat.jpg](http://www.subarunews.net/news/07_Legacy_spec.B_FrontSeat.jpg) ---

CTS-V’s will have nowhere near the issues of a high-mileage older M car. I strongly suggest you check them out before writing them off for being a GM. ---

I strongly suggest you check them out before writing them off for being a GM. i realy cant get that video out of my head of where the guy had constant problems and was breaking down over and over again on the highway and couldnt get home.

You at least owe it to yourself to test drive some other options. LS1 cars aren’t exactly known for reliability issues. ---

LoL Seriously LSx engines are probably one of the best designs ever. T56 is a pretty awesome transmission. The weakest link I would say would be the rear end? But I have no personal experience. All cars have faults. BMWs have great cooling systems. Audi’s have long lasting timing belts which are easy to change. Dodge has great transmissions. etc etc Look at a bunch of cars and drive them all. Don’t be afraid to venture into a new genre. My //M is my first import ever. Love it, but it hasn’t stopped me from looking at domestics too. ---
