It is also no secret Subaru's appeal highly to gay guys. Speaking of which, some of you need to come out of the closet already. It's OK, it's trendy to be that way nowadays.

Gee whiz...who knew
Based on the popularity of Subaru on this thread/board, its ratings in various media, and its rapidly growing sales figures, it may be a reflection on other societal trends that have been underestimated?
...got any credible statistics to support these anecdotal claims?
... and even more interesting any explanation as to WHY this would be so?

The Country You Save ...... SHOULD be Your Own!!!
Again, when it comes to something I'm counting on to save my life in a crash and get me from point A to point B without breaking down, patriotism is the LAST thing on my priority list. And all my Japanese cars were made in 'Murka anyway.
I remember in my early college years, I was dating a girl who drove one. She took me out to lunch one day in her Miata, and likewise, I was scared to death once we got to driving alongside huge semi-trucks and the like. Holy cow!!! LOL
On a side note, I have a friend who owns a MazdaSpeed Miata; the turbo 6-speed one. It is LOADS of fun to drive, particularly for its acceleration and terrific handling.
I've always been scared to death driving next to semis, but especially when riding in my friend's BRZ
At first, reading this thread, I found it very interesting how some people loved some brands and others hated the same brands. My first thought was that it came down to personal preference. But then I realized that a large part of it is what decade's make you are talking about.
For example, I have owned 2 Saturns, and been very happy with both of them, although my husband's has been in 2 of the recent recalls, mine is 16 years old now (I bought it new) and had no recalls at all. I still drive it pretty much every day. My husband got both of the recall items replaced, but hasn't had any problems in the 8 years he's owned it. So older GM probably was better than more recent GM.
I owned a '75 Datsun 280Z which was tons of fun to drive, but unreliable and expensive to fix. I bought my first Saturn after the Datsun left me stranded on the freeway miles from the nearest town (16 years ago, I didn't have a cell phone, and it would have been outside of service areas anyway). After walking to a farmhouse and asking a deaf woman if I could use her phone (she had one of those phones where you type and an interpreter talks to the person on the other end for you and then types back the answer), I decided it was time for something different.
Those are the only cars I've owned in my 36 years. So I don't have enough experience to make a top 3 list, but I was very happy with my Saturns.
As for the bottom 3, I also found it interesting that at least 2 people listed Jeep in their top 3. I've personally known at least 3 people who owned a Cherokee, and they all told me that the car was in the shop more than out of it, and not worth owning. None of them ever bought another one after dumping theirs. But that was in the 80s and 90s. Maybe their product has improved since.

I have seen that stereotype mentioned in the media for years - - but I am with you, any urban area with hills and snow seem to be crawling with them (the cars).....
