Why do you love your subaru?
Not sure if this thread has already been created, but my friend was asking me yesterday why I loved my subaru so much. Only having my car for a couple of weeks, I was only able to say that out of all the cars i've had my hands on, this is the only one i actually enjoy being in, even if for 5 minutes. But I do think subaru drivers tend to love their cars more than others, and would love to hear everyone's own reasons for why they love their subie.

Its more personal for me.
My FXT, I got from the original owner, my best friend in the world, John. He knew how much I loved it, and 5 years ago sold it to me for 8k (yea he could have got a LOT more for it). Well, a year and a half ago, on the day after Christmas. John was driving up north to see friends...and was in a head on. He was killed instantly, and its left a hole in me like nothing I can explain in words.
So, I took a loan out against the house with my partners permission, and got the FXT back on the road with a new engine, coilovers, the works. Its kind of my rolling tribute and memory to one of the greatest persons I have ever known.
You all wonder why I am so touchy about my car? why I would be willing to commit felony assault against someone who put a sticker on my car...that's why. It means far more to me than anything, even my own life. Because it is my way of holding on to the good memories of my friend.

Car Info: ...zeh car drives you!
I cannot speak for the newer generation cars, but I love older Subaru because they are Lego cars...so many OEM and aftermarket parts can be swapped between models and years.
Plus they are generally well balanced cars that can be used for just about everything. That said, I am not a fan of the newer generations because they seem to have went the Toyota route...but that's just me. They are still solid cars.

And very versatile. Roadtrip to Vegas? Wonderful drive. Take it to the races? It will go as hard as you'll push it. Tahoe for the white stuff? piece of cake. Take it to work 5 days a week? Come on...
My Subaru has done everything that I have asked of it and it hasn't put up a fuss. 90k miles and it's only been towed twice. Both accounts of me being the problem, not the car.

1) AWD
2) reliable
3) A-B in any condition
4) SAFE
5) simple
6) ruuuuuuumblee
Other than Audi, i feel Subaru is one of the safest and most reliable AWD sedan that can literally take you anywhere. just short of a 4x4 rock crawler. Ive pulled not only my car but other cars (even, with the help of a lifted leggy, a N* shuttle bus stuck in the snow) Safety is by far one of my most like feature of Subaru. Ever see that commercial "They lived" Well they nailed it right on the head. Ive seen a handful of Subaru accidents recently that just leave you in awe how they walked away. I seen a bigrig toppled over on an 08 WRX. the car was literally pancaked. everyone lived with minor injuries. Plus, we all know that smile we get as we pass other sedans struggling with chains in the snow :P taking my Camry in the snow...now way. Subaru every time! Some Blizzack LMs do the trick just nice. Other than the basic stuff, i love my subaru because ive almost built it myself from the shell up (over time) i have 2 subie. selling the 05 with less miles. once you put a lot of blood, sweat, $ into it, the love just grows. lol Not to mention the Subaru community. great group of gearheads!
