Those living/ playing at elevation can get the outback 3.6 or forrester xt. This is a great daily for people wanting a small crossover that gets good mpg and AWD.
Underpowered at high elevation?? Probably, I live in Texas, but I have see the number of Subies sold here increase at an amazing rate. This car is for sale outside of Colorado you realize that right???
And as far as the BRZ being Underpowered...
Our 2008 miata seems to be just fine, more fun to drive than my 300/350 2010 WRX was...
To each his own
