Thanks for all the reply so far. I am still digesting them.

Looks like Teana is a good alternative and I will keep her in my radar. I think the price is a good pull factor for me.

I need to add something, speed is not a must have for me, simply because in Malaysia, our highway speed limit is only 110kmh. So to avoid traffic fine, it is no point driving fast or having a fast car.

But I rank driving pleasure and road handling very highly.

I checked out the new Mazda6 out, between the new mazda6, new Teana & Legacy, which one will give the best road handling? Legacy?

Seriously, Legacy price is a huge turn off for me.

@Vey99, you think I would be better to get a real sport car as my weekend car? WRX STI?  sweat.gif

Actually Malaysia have a lot of avenue to enjoy performance car one
Do trackday(Sepang or MIMC),touge session are some of the best way to enjoy performance car smile.gif
If you intend to buy a weekend car,buy something that is sporty & impractical(Think Lotus,Honda S2000 etc etc)

Coming from another Subaru owner that bought new from MI :

Buy Subaru if:
- you want terrible after sales service
- get inexperience technician handling your car (at MI!)
- high price parts (don't complain as you are buying over rm200k car)

On the bright side:
- great handling car (comparable with contis without the contis normal problems)
- TUUUUUUURBO!
- parts are available but have to wait from SG.

For myself, I love my scooby but I hate MI. Thus, buy new and don't expect a red carpet or even on par with Proton (yes PROTON!) treatment when servicing and warranty claims.

People who drive these sort of car usually will DIY or have their own workshop that does maintenance/mod on car like that

If buy from grey mkt or second hand car dealer e.g. a used Legacy/WRX Sti ... MI will service or not? If not, go where for servicing?

Find the best workshop that specialize in servicing/modding Subaru
MI will service yes but maybe extra price because you does not buy a car from them
Typically people who own car like STI/EVO are performance junkie & have their own contact or they will learn to DIY
For weekend car why don't you consider something that really give you sense of occasion like a Lotus Exige S or something along the line of that
Those are what i call weekend car
