Favorite has varying degrees of reasons. But obviously the 2010 Legacy 3.6R Limited was my fav. That thing was a beast, comfortable, and classy. BUT, not as good in the snow. So the 2.5i 4 cyl models are AWD all the time, all the Subes are, but those are "preferred" 80/20 from a standstill (meaning 80% of the power to the front wheels, 20% to the back). Meaning the majority of the power goes to the front wheels. On the sport models like the 3.6R, the dif is the opposite, so 20/80. So in snow every time I went to start from a stop it would fish tail a tiny bit. It wanted to be a RWD vehicle until the AWD started doing it's thing. Still totally safe and great, just the only negative I noticed. But in non snowy conditions it was basically a RWD sports car. Or "performance sedan" depending on how pedantic you want to be. But that thing could haul fucking ass... what a thrill to drive.

I loved my 2007 2.5i SE Legacy too, great car. I LOVE my Outback probably the most because it's basically got the same cockpit as my old Legacy, lots of bells and whistles, and it rides really smooth and it's great in the snow. It's also a very safe vehicle. I have a wife, and a 19 month old daughter to take care of and the Outback is great. I wish it was a 3.6R outback, but just not worth the extra money for power I really wouldn't use. Maybe on my next one. ;)

I wasn't super impressed with the forester. I didn't like the ride, but I mean look at it. It's kind of a top heavy vehicle subject to body roll, and it's not meant to be fast or perform well. It's one of their cheaper models. Still loved it, but it was my least fav. Lots of room and not bad though. And the price was right at the time.
