A woman that can handle a stick is fine with me.

As for other people they can drive whatever they like.
Auto makes you no less manly, its just not my cup of tea and I do love being paid (key word paid lol) to fix them.
Reliablility and peace of mind sounds like you made the right choice. It's always good to save and get paid kudos.

Sounds like you don't got the stamina to keep up drink a red bull you'll be fine.

Not really a big fan of Subaru but, seems like you found your (inner kid) in it rocketship lol.
