The problem right now is with young kids in daycare and commuting, it’s completely unreasonable to buy and mod a used cars. But I love the 3rd gen STI hatch, so that’s definitely an option for the future.

I’d sell my pseudo-SUV in a heartbeat if they made one. The WRX is too low for Quebec snow banks (my friend ripped his front bumper at least three times) but the Crosstrek fixes that. Oh and add nicer seats, the base model’s are too small for me.

Getting stuck happens to everyone, it’s his incredibly stupid attempt at getting out of it that puts us to shame. Sadly, walking around Montreal after a snow storm is a good reminder that stupidity is universal. But it’s also a good laugh ;)

You’re telling us they’re some sort of kids-friendly version of a Dreadnought? I’m in.

Was that a Mac or Windows joke? I can’t tell now that they’re equally bad.

“You’ve seen the BMW 4 Series, which is the two-door version of the 3 Series.”

Your comment sounds extremely condescending to people who, like me, are “able bodied” but measure 6'3".

Actually, down-left makes the most sense: no risk of engaging R instead of 1, and no risk of pulling the stick into R thinking you have a 6th gear (first world problems?)

Once a week I pick up McD for the family on my way back from work, and I’m always worried the drinks are going to fly off.

My dad owned a green Scout when I was born so I know what his next gift will be. Thanks for sharing!

Reminds me of an Aston Martin!

Agreed, I bought this for my wife’s XV Crosstrek which only has one USB port and it’s great.

Really?? In Quebec you can easily find a 2000+ Legacy or Impreza for little more than 2000 canadian dollars. Sure they lived through Quebec winters but we’re talking 15 years younger than this.

My dad taught me how to drive stick in the family’s blue 1985 GL. Good times.

Snow is a big plus in my opinion. I dream of a huge snow storm where everyone decided to stay home so I can drift through corners :O

It’s funny but I see a lot around, so I’m guessing it scores with its target demographic.

Waiting for pics.

I think I used to see the fourth one in the list driving around. I honestly thought it was a custom job by some wacko. Joke’s on me.
