I looked for a long time, considering family v. fun... I've got a 5 mile commute to work. I leaned Legacy, but thought about driving gravel, and a dealer was clueless when asked about rally. After driving the Dart (still intrigued) and VWs, I ended up on Subaru and the OBS and think it fits perfect. I am now spending weekends driving gravel MM roads with pleasure.
Can't beat an Odyssey for the family, but the Impreza OBS is for off-road fun. Nice car, BTW, I love the laser lines around the fenders...
