They are both good cars, have character and are exiting to drive. The Impreza we have had for 15 years. Not a lot that they rally now floats my boat as a road car (or design/based on), other than Yaris gr4 but I don’t have the means to buy one.

My son on the other hand is more into f1. He drives a merc a class AMG line. Not a fast one. Good car, looks nice, lovely interior and so on but boring. It’s just a car. Cars are becoming dull.
As I said in my post, THE PROBLEM FOR ME. Everyone is different.
You do realize that there was little more boring on the road than an Impreza or Escort or Lancer,.... What made them exciting cars were the extra letters attached to the name for the sporting variants. Same goes for todays cars except that half the market is crowded with Stupid Useless Vehicles (SUV).

And as mentioned rallying always relied on small mundane cars bar the odd exception here and there.
