In Reply to: "A Rumination Upon Audio Research, VW's Phæton, and Subaru vs. SAAB" posted by John Marks on May 23, 2023 at 14:08:45:
Still not sure how Subaru managed to eat SAAB's lunch -- 'cause based on the one Subaru I've owned (and do currently own), the blandness is nearly crushing. Subaru had a reputation for being funky (as, of course, did SAAB), but the funkyness's been beaten out of them, if it was ever there. In the case of my 2019 Crosstrek (six-speed manual) what's left is a car that is under powered, handles medicocrely (is that even a word?), rides OK for a cheap car, gets mediocre fuel mileage, is comfortable enough, albeit barely -- and isn't particulaly good in snow.
It was cheap, though - and it does have respectable ground clearance (which is a plus here in mud season).
all the best,
mrh
