Reply to "Subaru vs Air Cooled"

I’m very late to this conversation, but I would say if you base your decision on what is ‘best’ you would go Subaru.

However if you take that logic to the extreme, why not buy a completely different car?

I’ve had many modern performance cars over the years and enjoyed them all, but there’s something special about having something visceral you can work on yourself.

There’s something special about something that doesn’t drive like a modern car, and needs to have valve clearances checked regularly. Not for everyone, but definitely for some.

I’ve got a Volvo V60 Polestar as my daily driver. Not the quickest, but the best car I’ve ever had by any sensible measure, and way better than a 356 replica. But not all measures are sensible, thank goodness. I like it, but I’ll never love it.
