I'm the same.  I think I'll stop at the mk4.  The mk5/6 really don't 
appeal to me at all.  They're too big and heavy now.

After living with the Subie for a while it's nice to have a car doesn't 
need to be wrenched on or develops a new leak once a month.  Everything 
in the Forester still works.  All the options are functional.  This is 
how it's supposed to be.

Yep, they not only gave us the WRX but also the STI.  Meanwhile, VW 
won't bring an AWD Golf/Jetta to Canada....but offers it to the states. 
 I don't get it.  I'm quickly becoming indifferent to VW's offerings.  
I'll always enjoy the older models but have no interest in maintaining 
them for daily driving.

How do you find the 'feedback' with the WRX?  This is really the only 
thing keeping me in german cars.  I haven't found a Japanese brand with 
the same driving 'feel' yet.  They're almost there, but not quite.
