My wife is a loyal Subaru owner. She currently drives a 2016 Crosstek. We are planning to replace with a new Crosstrek this July once the warranty expires on her current car.

I've owned a Subary Legacy wagon from 1997 to 2008. Extremely reliable and very comfortable inside.  Ownership was so pleasant that on the next round of vehicle purchase as we left the Philippines included the following:

- a Subaru XV Crosstrek

- a Subaru Legacy 2.5 Premium

- a Subaru STi

The XV Crosstrek is the ideal city roundabout - comfortable and fuel efficient. Luggage space was wanting though. Purchased new, we let go of the car when it reached 70Tkm in 5 years

The Legacy was faultless, similarly efficient despite being a 2.5, and the CVT was livable. Purchased new, we sold the car with 40Tkm, after 3 years of ownership

Lastly, the 2017 STi - purchased new but sold it after 9T kms.  Decided to best sell it before depreciation hits me further.

Advantages .... well it was brand new when purchased so maintenance was never a problem. Also did not mod it out in order not to lose the service and factory warranty which came with the purchase.

Disadvantage .... it's a 4 cylinder, manual transmission, with minimal comfort (from noise) insulation;  not a gentleman's car, but probably great for someone who wants to go aggressive with mods and upgrades.  Out of the box (stock), I didn't enjoy it as I would have expected, considering that I had ARCP affiliation in the 80s.  Admittedly, age and mentality (and loss of aggression) really determines which ride you'll find enjoyment on, and the STi was no longer doing it for me.

Other cars are just more comfortable and more fun to drive.

My dream to replace my 2016 WRX, pooofff!!!. The new one is ugly, minimal power and torque gain. The interior is the saving grace but expect it to very, very expensive. Using the MSRP in the US as basis, I think the top of the line GT is around P3.5M here. The Ascent is $42-46K  and cost P3.5M here. I'll just use the money I'm saving for performance mods.

Had a Subaru Forester before. Nice stable ride.  Not as fast as others in its class.

Love the 1st gen BRZ but the dreaded torque dip in the midrange RPM made me get the WRX. Performance wise it will not dissapoint you. 7 years later I was eyeing the 2nd gen BRZ.

Mga bwisit na dealer hindi ma test drive dahil nasa hiramam ng kung sino-sinong pipitsuging blogger. Ako bibili hindi mapahiram. Buti pa yung may Cherry Mobile cp na blogger nahiram na ito.

Anyway they say na nawala na yung torqe dip dahil 2.4L na ang engine. Need to prove this myself bago bumili.
