"Don't Worry Be Happy!" I have the 1.8 in my wagon and I still love driving my car. You don't have to worry about being the fastest car on the road, just as long as you have fun and enjoy driving your subie! I had a Legend before, and it really was a blast to floor the V6 but the Subaru is just so much more fun to drive! ---> plus you have the miracle of AWD...
