This car doesn't really catch my interest because I see them pretty much all the time. It's just another face in the crowd of automobiles.

UNCOOL

The Impreza WRX's daddy. The car that took Possum Bourne to runner-up in the WRC aswell as multiple ARC titles. The car that started the boxer rumble craze.

SUB-ZERO!! Almost ABSOLUTE ZERO!!!

Has a name made of more than 50% alphabet soup, not sold in the states, looks like a brick, Pales in comparison to later WRX models...

attracts the same crowd as later WRX models, probably...

and, ultimately, I don't care a whit about it.

Uncool.

This is the standard WRX car, however what it can be isn't what we are voting on.

This car is plain and boring, I seriously wouldn't even want to be seen in one.

-Seriously Uncool.

Well that would be great, if that was the exact car we were voting on...

...we're talking about the civilian version here. The rally car itself is actually cool. The other one, isn't

I'm sorry. I am so, so sorry.

Seriously Uncool.

To give a sense of how stupid unstylish this fabulous car is, have a look at that Accord estate back there. Looks like a spaceship in comparison.

If it was one from the last 5 years it'd be cool but not this one.

It's a Subaru, one that spawned a great rally car I might add. To me, immediately Cool. 'Nuff said.

By my books: Cool (5 pros, 2 cons = 5 out of 7 = 71.5% = Cool).

But it's...let's say an "Odd Beauty"...nevermind it's ugly.

Subaru = 👍
Boxer 4 = 👍
T-Charged/ AWD = 👍

Cool car, not by looking at it though, just speaking mechanically.
Tear down a dirt road, see why I've reciently gained SERIOUS respect for Subaru street cars in the dirt, I almost don't want a truck anymore... I could probably kill myself with a Subaru off road. Cool e-nuff!

80Mph+ on a gravel road in a awd turbo boxer 4 = as good as it gets!
