This coexist sticker/Subaru stereotype is so annoying. Not all of us have that sticker. Some of us have them as plastic emblems replacing the car's name. Sheesh.

*licks you very badly
Hmm... I'm still unsure. Go again.
Uh... I only own two flannel shirts and didn't even go see Brandi last time she was in town.
I had a Subaru for about 2 weeks when my wife put a local farmers market magnet on my car as a joke. That fucking thing melted to my car and I never got it off. 12 years later, i sold it with that damn farmers market magnet stuck to it.
The Subaru assimilated the sticker. Resistance was futile.
Do you live on the surface of the sun?
As the formerly-smug owner of TWO Crosstreks, believe me when I say the smugness dissipates quickly after a few stealership visits....
tl;dr - buy the beige camry
The rotten truth is that Subarus aren't really any more reliable than other vehicles, but uave much more expensive repair costs than comparable Hondas or Toyotas.
also the suspension and steering and acceleration and interior padding is all rough.
Yeah, my crosstrek has some of the stiffest suspension i have ever felt. And their symetrical AWD has always seemed like just a gimmick.
Subaru's AWD system is legitimately better at putting down power to the wheels and getting traction than the vast majority of other AWD systems on the market. There are plenty of third party tests showing as much.
That said, it's a question of whether you actually need that. The truth is the vast majority of people don't need AWD at all for the kind of driving they'll actually do.
I have an STi which has an active center differential beyond even the typical Subaru system and I absolutely love it. It's magic feeling it at work. But my "likes to take the car on dirt and go sideways at 50MPH" use case isn't needed for a commuter either.
Also important to note, Subaru's AWD system is picky as hell and a tread depth difference across the axle is actually pretty likely to damage your diffs or transmission.
Meaning, if you need to replace a tire, you replace all four tires or else run the risk of catastrophic damage to the vehicle. The AWD works great and it's a good system but it can and will screw you out of a thousand bucks worth of tires with no warning. Pros and cons.

I just spent a weekend in a rented crosstrek. I hated the throttle curve. It's super twitchy at low speeds and lacks power at highway speeds. It made navigating parking lots way more finnicky than necessary.
Did it have a CVT? I hate those damn things...
I think so since it was a 2021 model.
The auto stop-start functionality was also really rough. Overall, it just was not a pleasant driving experience.

As a beige Camry haver, my car is 22 years old and runs like a champ. Had to swap out the spark plugs, the cat, battery, tires, and brakes, but that’s expected when the car’s got a moonlength of mileage on it. I love this thing and will drive it until the frame is broken, I’m dead, or the car becomes illegal.
I just bought silver Corolla. Is that good enough?
Never take your car to the dealership for service unless it's under warranty.

Would someone mind explaining what a coexist sticker is to me please?
Lovely. Thank you. :)
Where I live, Subaru is generally a "boy racer" car.
Yep Impreza is the boy racer, Outback is a lesbian car.
I'm not making that up Sorry for source, there are plenty of them if you search

Subarus with hood scoops and Subarus without hood scoops have entirely different connotations.
Hoodscoop gang 😎
My wife keeps threatening to get me a "My other Subaru is a Subaru" for my old Outback. I threaten to get her one for her Tribeca, but a Tribeca isn't a Subaru.
Our 2012 Subaru with a Megaman decal and a Cthulu-fish just saved my spouse from being horribly killed by a driver who blared through a red, t-boned the shit out of the driver's side and flipped him, absolutely crushing the car, but not him. We're 100% getting another, (an older Outback if possible) and I will wallpaper that mofo in COEXIST if it keeps either of us as...not dead.
Below: just about all we could salvage from the impound after it was decoupled from the other driver's car, flipped upright, towed and totaled. We have their front Honda emblem, though, cause it was stuck in our car!

Wild, they must have forgotten to apply it at the factory. They might issue a recall for that
If it wasn't on there when you bought it new, that's a manufacturing defect. You can get it replaced under warranty.
Dunno but I do have my badge
:(
They are having supply issues, I ordered mine almost two months ago and they still haven't shown up.
Unless it’s a wrx, then it has the Dane Cook symbol plastered on the back glass
You’re either a coexist-sticker Subaru owner, or a monster-logo-on-everything-including-your-vape-pen Subaru owner. There are no other Subaru owners.

I hate this stupid stereotype... Your bumper stickers are completely random.
Mine grew a "CRAPITALISM!" sticker.
Hey! It doesn't need to be your closest national park.
Huh… mine just has a death metal and bleghsed sticker. I still haven’t got a coexist in the mail either. Maybe I need to go to more forests.
A death metal pile-of-twigs "coexist" sticker would be kinda funny.
You have to earn it first by always driving 10 mph under the speed limit, unless you're merging onto the freeway, then you will need to go 35mph under the speed limit. Don't forget to always be in the fast lane. Idk what it is about Subaru owners, but they're the slowest motherfuckers on the road, even worse than the Prius owners.
Where do you live? In CO on the highways I always get tailgated by Subaru's while speeding. I used to own one so I know they're basically red lining it but they're still flying along
Probably someplace Subarus are ubiquitous and driving under the limit happens a lot, it just happens you see more Subarus doing it because, well, lots of Subarus.
Where I live there always seems to be a tool going 5-10 under. Wouldn’t matter that much except it’s a metro area and just a couple of these clowns can really mess up traffic.
