I have to agree. Subarus take their glory from their prominence in the rally. But those are custom built speed machines with incredibly skilled drivers behind the wheel. And these days they are having problems keeping up with the Evo anyway.

This account has always been active on twitter. It actually brought me back to Wazua, after a 1.5yr (approx) hiatus.
Life is joy, death is peace, but the transition is very difficult.

One time i saw one of my jirani kwa estate revving his subaru which was emitting a huge flame of fire kwa exhaust pipe. With him were his buddies who were surrounding the car while cheering the action. Surely how are we supposed to stomach such kind of behavior kwa neighbourhood?

@ Quicksand.....I totally agree, kila nyani na starehe zake no need to hate on your fellow drivers kwa bara bara ati juu ako na Subaru na wewe uko na BMW, Range, Premio ama Vitz. If you find yourself trying to overtake a Subaru just to prove a point then uko na complex issues. Gari ni kama Simu ama Nguo it all depends on your taste and what you are comfortable with.
Btw @Nakujua, last time i checked the Subaru World Rally Team withdrew from the World Rally Championship in 2009, walirudi lini?

However, there are many more out there who are calm,rational, well-behaved Subaru owners. The idiocy of the few leads to unfortunate generalizations (much like the way people used to knock Probox drivers for instance)...which is not entirely fair. As for loving the car, there is nothing wrong with that. Its brand loyalty. The Subaru can't be faulted for a few of its drivers unreasonableness. When the cars roll out of the factory, they don't have those stupid fire-spitting appendages; People add them after. I see nothing wrong with debating rationally the various merits and demerits of Subarus - it isn't boasting or a cry for attention. When I am able to upgrade to say an Audi, I will debate its merits and demerits with the same vigour as I have other cars I have driven - right here on this forum
