I had a Subaru Impreza WRX before, there are very few cars that make you feel you are riding on railway tracks instead of roads !

road and everything.... !

Last year when I had to choose a car in India, I had aimed first at
Fiat palio GTX and after Fiat refused to give me the car I had to change my views drastically and re-consider another Subaru. But the price was 13.00 Laksh Ex-showroom then. Now it is 11.7 L I think.

Its really amazing to imagine what exactly a Subaru badge can do ! And unfortuante, how short sighted sales people fail to promote an established brand.

Currently I own a Skoda Octavia the ground clearance is a serious problem for me now because of the places I goto.

Dont you sit right next to my cubicle in the office?

I agree that Subaru Forester hasn't got its due back here. Yes, identity crisis is a big thing with the forester. What is it? It certainly doesn't look like an SUV, neither does it look like a sedan. People associate it more with the station wagon. Subaru should have put in a diesel engine also. That certianly would have done wonders. This certainly is a very capable vehicle that can travel on any kind of surface with aplomb.
