Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

I have an old battered, non-turbo one. It's great. I use it as a family car, van, and occasionally tractor. Was brilliant in the snow, second only to landrovers. MPG is pretty shocking though.

Don't feel dirty, great cars.

I'm lusting after a forester estate. What are the running costs and AVG price please?

Help put me off.

Me too! I want a car that's a bit 'different', can haul the expanding family and an assembled TT bike around, but also really shift when I need it to...I've read Subaru parts are quite costly.

Shame Dammit's Vlovo was out of my budget when he was selling.
