While I may have no love for my family's—car of necessity, not of choice—Impreza TS wagon, the truth is that Subarus are cars to be respected. They tend to fit into that ricer category, but they back that up with impressive boxer engines that fight with some high-performers. The AWD that Subaru implements in all US-bound cars is downright awesome for driving, and they can take a lot of abuse before something goes wrong.
I especially respect the ones that apparently went rally racing or mudding, but there is a lot to be said about street Subarus. We don't know what those drivers have done in autocross or track times from these pictures. Even in 400-hp V8s, we should all keep an eye out for little turbo 4-bangers, like the STi.
Respect all cars. Love your own.
