Subaru vs other cars debate!

Ok,firstly I dont just like Subarus-I just happen to own one at the moment and its a car Im very happy with. I dont think that skylines in general are bad cars at all but if you take a standard R34 GT-R and a standard 22B I just prefer the more focused car i.e. the 22B. A good friend of mine owns one of these and Im lucky enough to get to drive it from time to time. Its a beautifully balanced car and more importantly imo,a real drivers car-if you get into bother in it,it wont sort it out for you-I like that you need ability to drive one enthusiastically. Then theres the looks and the heritage-a 22B is the closest you will find in a road car to a wrc machine. And the fact that they were made in such limited numbers just adds to the appeal for me-doesnt everyone who loves cars want to have something a little different??? Rarity would be a huge factor in my choice of ideal cars-one of my favourite cars ever would be a Tommi Makinen edition evo in passion red-again because of rarity and rallying heritage. I just find skylines a bit big and wobbly and a little too computer controlled. Also a 22B may be a very focused car but comfort wise I dont see them as being compromised-they're far more comfortable than any evo for example.These are just my opinions-as were my previous posts on the subject-everyone is entitled to theirs-it wasnt me that referred to "blinkered fanboy sh1t" in the first place.

YOU questioned me for owning a Subaru go back and read the thread again..the blinkered thing wasn't aimed at you anyway..and you've never been in a R34 gtr if you think its wobbly..and how many are registered in this country speaking of rarity? that rant last night I had ew beers i don't want to get into a row with you but you p1ssed me off questioning my reason for owning a subaru.
 
Everyone has a right to his own opinion.
I luv all cars, but Subaru in the first place, it is just not comparable to anything else. For me there is a Subaru and there are other cars.
Some people call it the passion ;)

22B.
Why is it so special? Maybe the main reason is that it's so visually close to WRC?
Technically it is worse than V5/V6 Type-R (as based on V3 indeed)
I even heard it drives not as good as those mentioned above. You can't throw it around corners so easily as the Type-Rs
But this is not the case. 22B is the LOOK, the epitome, the king.
 
@ScoobeyDoo-I have to agree with dagnut here-I think on a car based forum its a very legitimate topic.
 
@Dagnut-It's only a good healthy debate anyway-I probably shouldnt have questioned your ownership of a subaru-I just thought that the blinkered comment was aimed directly at me. Ill agree to disagree on the topic with you-I prefer a 22B to any skyline-you prefer an R34 GT-R-fair enough. Interesting to get others opinions also though.
