1984 Saab 900 turbo
1999 Impreza L wagon
2000 2.5rs
I only drove my saab for a few months before I got the wagon, but if that car had had AWD, I would have never gotten rid of it. Even with 200k miles, bald tires and the biggest shifter I've ever seen in a car, the Saab was awesome. Not to mention the fact that it had a burgundy leather interior.
Much as I love my RS, I don't think anything compares to the first car you ever have.
