Drooling

I think you'd need the 4 door for all your fat sluts up there in WY........

I used a Ford Escort one year because I didn’t want my T-bird to get trashed. The next year I had a pickup. Everyone in Wisconsin thinks they need a 4x4 for hunting. I have a couple but also a 2wd Yukon 2500, I prefer that to my truck for hunting. Good tires go a long way and suspension travel/articulation not just ground clearance. All of that does no good though on wet grass on a 17% grade. That same grade a mid 80s Subaru climbed out of on wet grass no problem.

Since you already own it and it's old, go for it.

I'll never buy another after the POS 2010 I had.

I learned to drive in '61 W30.

It mostly screamed "Take me to the lube rack"!!!!

Back in 79 with gas running $4+ a gallon my 100+ daily trip to work was costing me more than my mortgage so I traded in my beloved Chevy 4x4 truck on a front wheel drive Chevy Citation. With good winter tires all around I used that little hatch back to hunt, haul fire wood; I even crossed a few small streams to get to my favorite hunting spots all while getting 40+ mpg.

So use what you got and don't worry about it.

Subarus are tough little cars although over priced for what they are. You just have to mind the clearance and use some common sense.
