    4wd isn't boring in all road cars, just ones with hamster wheel powered 2 litre engines, that said though i'm sure its not a bad car, just a boring one.

    Zak the thing is it's all like the Impreza, they make a boring non-turbo GL.
    You blagged a nice, but ultimately dull, sensible motor. You SHOULD have nailed down the 2.5ltr at least or the 2.0 turbo. It'll still be 'safe' but there's far more chance of excitement as well.

    Isn't it a little weird when a car is so accomplished it bores? Mightly shame.

    P.s.
    I'm still jealous of yer Sport Quattro Nox. Fine motor indeed!

    IMO.........

    The problem's not just 4WD

    The problem's not the 2L engine (need a nice torque figure to drive a 4x4 box really).

    The problem's 4WD with a 2L engine in a legacy, wighing a similar amount to something a biblical character would find very usefull for loading animals two by two into.

    It's just a set up for a real nice amount of control and safety, but very little of what some people find fun.
