Nissan is probably more rugged, but the Subaru is probably a tad more reliable. However, in my research Subaru's are not nearly as reliable as a Toyota. Not even close. Neither is Honda. Check out longtermqualityindex.com. A lot of very useful information.

You're right it's not as reliable or is it as boring as Toyota.

I've been reading the Suv handles like a hog because of the higher center of gravity. I don't think I want to drive a big hog of a car around it feels more like a truck than a car. BUT it's hella comfortable the seats snug ya and you won't hardly feel pot holes. Making long journeys a breeze.

The subaru wagon probably drives like a proper car with the constant all wheel drive equals better grip. They both have massive trunk space.

Are you saying i should get a RAV 4?

I wouldn't say a Nissan or a Subaru is any more exciting to drive than a Toyota. Completely depends on the specific model. A WRX is kinda kewl tho. I don't drive automatics, so a Rav4 isn't for me, but whatever floats your boat. Get what you want. And it doesn't matter if you buy a Subie, as Toyota is the largest owner of Subaru. Buy a Subie and keep Toyota rich.

NAH, G!


I've decided to get a Nissan Stagea V6 Turbo AWD beast. It shares the same flat form as a Nissan Skyline And it's considerably cheaper

Here's one from a mighty car mods a V8 turbo conversion.
