In the last couple of weeks I've gotten two major toys.  This post will be about my first toy; a Subaru Legacy Sedan.

My last car was a VW New Beetle.  It was a bright yellow car that stood out in the parking lot and matched my personality.  I loved the way the small car handled and, with a turbo engine, it was fast.  It had a lot of problems, however.  It's appearance made it a target for vandalism and it had a problem with parts not working.  The list of problems I had is too long, so I won't list them here.

I took my car in for an oil change one afternoon but was told that the plug was stuck and I would have to take it in for maintenance.  That was the last straw.  It was time for a new car.  As mentioned before, I loved the small size of the Beetle and wanted to stick with something fairly small.  But, as a resident of Colorado, I also wanted something that would handle the snow better.

The all-wheel-drive Subaru Legacy Sedan was a perfect fit for me.  I had rented one of these cars a couple of years back and loved the way it handled.  So, it was off to a Subaru dealership.

Overall, I am very impressed with my new (used - 2006) car.  I have yet to drive it in the snow, but I'm sure it will do fine.  It's definitely larger than the Beetle, but it's no large SUV or truck, either.
