I don't drink either pop nor soda. Unless I need to chase a shot. Because there are exceptions to every rule.

...I've had (2) VW Jetta's with the first being a TDI and when I traded it in (worn out) it had 287,000 miles on it. I was getting aprox 50+ mpg (5) speed at the time & the engine was fine but having to put a complete exhaust system + brakes it was better to just let it go.
Had the price on the new ones not been as high as they were at the time & diesel selling for 4.00 to 5.00 per gal, I would have bought another but instead got a Jetta (SEL) still a 5 speed that gets about 30 mpg.

What can I get used for $10k or less? Preferably 2005 or newer, but not a requirement.

I have 2 2004's. An 04 WRX and an 04 Outback under 10K. Problem with Subarus is that they hold their value extremely well...makes the used cars a little more expensive.

Why wait? Fewer miles on your car, the better trade value. What do you drive?

I loveeee WRXs. If I were to be in a position where a vehicle was needed, I'd definitely give them a look. They are fun as hell to drive, especially in the snow.

You are correct. I have a Subaru to drive so I don't own a Subaru...but when I do buy one it will be a WRX

Why waste the money on a TDI for that mileage? Is that on an AWD Toureg? You can get a Forester (AWD standard) and get 32 MPG highway. And its cheaper by a lot.

The VM Toureg was ripped to shreads by the top gear guys for what it's worth. Hilarious episode.

LOL...thats funny. We have had a couple women come in with husbands and say to us quietly "arent Subarus for lesbians?" Its hilarious.

Subaru has come a long way and is gaining steam nation wide. We are the only manufacturer with record sales growth the past 5 years straight AND weve had sales increase each month for 23 straight months.

The 2014 Forester is so popular that there is only a 6 day supply nation wide. Most car dealers have a 30-60 day supply of each line. We actually went 2 weeks at our dealership without a Forester to sell. We just got in 2 truck loads (20) of Foresters on Friday and are already down to 12 just 2.5 business days later. Its crazy...plus the Forester is getting rave reviews by all the publications.

I've personally sold 2 Foresters to people who were considering Touregs...and one that traded in a Toureg.

That's a great sales pitch for you. You are trying to talk me from a luxary awd vehicle with 400 ft lb of torque and over 30 mpg, to a midrange vehicle with a 4cyl. Not even the same class bub.

Haha. I hear ya. Just so you know, the dealership I work for has 9 new car brands and I can/have sold every one. I am passionate about Subaru because I believe in the brand. They are just outstanding vehicles. I wouldn't put my family into Subarus if I didn't. It's easy to sell a product you are passionate about. That's why I love my job. Most Subaru buyers are first timers. It's great talking to them down the road and they tell me how much they love their Subaru.
