"We have owned Subarus since 1991 and would not drive anything else. As a visiting nurse  who had to go out in any weather and at all hours I depended on my Subarus to get me around in the many snowy and stormy winters as I did this. I was never let down and also appreciate the Subaru service for the infrequent times I have needed other than routine maintenance done". Pat G.

"People think I'm crazy not to worry about traveling over Chesterfield Hill each day in the winter to get to and from work.  I have always had confidence in the ability of my Legacy Outback to get me to where I'm going safely.  I tell them that I am more concerned about the other people on the road who drive anything but a Subaru.  I have driven many other types of vehicles in New England weather but not one of them has out performed my Subaru.  I am currently considering trading in my 1999 wagon for something newer and my greatest dilemma is deciding whether to stay with a wagon or another Subaru model.  It's a hard choice to make but I know whichever one I choose will see me through the worst New England weather and keep my family from worrying about me as I travel that treacherous hill."  Kimberly M.

"Coming home from the usual hard day at work, a car pulled out of a side street and stopped in front of me, blocking the lane. A car was coming in the opposite lane. I hit the brakes as best as I could and saw I just might have an opening once the oncoming car passed. I saw the opening behind the oncoming car, snapped the wheel left, hit the gas, then snapped right to go around the car nosed into my lane. it was like a video-game trick, and my Subaru handled the emergency move as if it did it all day. I've driven lots of different cars and trucks, driven a Zamboni, and flown planes and ultralights, but that was an immediate and permanent fall-in-love-with-a-dream-machine moment for me." David C.

"Since the mid eighties I have driven Subarus.  We couldn't want any better mountain goats for dependable and fun transportation.  Every time we trade cars, my hubby wants to check out other makes.  After he gets through looking, I always go back to the Subaru.  Subaru of Keene is like home to us.  Thanks Anthony and the guys."  Pat H.

"I was driving my Subaru Outback Sport from Peterborough, NH home to Temple, NH and it was snowing pretty heavily. My daughter and I were coming from the hospital and took East Mountain road which ends at Route 101. We were chatting and just driving slow and turned East on 101. We saw a car on the side of the road and stopped to see if someone was in it. Nope. 30yards further, a truck,and another 18 wheeler, and soon Temple Mountain was littered with vehicles with no one inside. "Twilight Zone?" We continued up and over the mountain and down to the base where we were stopped by a state trooper. Wow,'what is up"  we asked him. "How did you get over the mountain, it's been closed for an hour" he answered. No one has gotten over in the last couple hours. " Oh sorry we said, we did not see it was closed ,we came via Sand Hill Rd. and East mountain Rd." "How the heck did you get here from there, no one else has come through and we have Temple mountain blocked off on both ends" . "You were VERY lucky" We drove home and realized the we would always have a Subaru and we DO!"  S. Bay

"I am a proud owner of a 1999 Subaru Forester.  My car has seen me through tough winter months and mud seasons on very rural roads and steep hills around New England.   My car never had any real mechanical complications from 1999 until just this year, when it was in need of some detailed repairs.  Dale from Subaru of Keene's service department was an absolute star - just fabulous to work with.  Not only was he very friendly, he gave so much time and thought about how best to service this car.  He described all the repairs in detail, and worked carefully to get me the best price and value for my money.  This was so professional, supportive and helpful.   Thank you, and Hats off to you Dale and Subaru of Keene!  Not only do I have a car I can continue to depend on, I have even more confidence in the team at Subaru of Keene."    Vicky P

"I bought my first Subaru in 1985, and I have NEVER owned anything but a Subaru since that time.  They are dependable and last forever.  My current forester is a 2002 and it has over 250,000 miles on it.  I tried to look at other cars, but I cannot.  I will own a Subaru forever."  Kathy H.

"I bought one of the first Subarus in the Keene area and have had one ever since (well almost).  When I owned a restaurant in Dublin, we even included our Legacy wagon in our advertising, bragging about how much space there was for buying supplies (like cases of wine). I love the dependability of all-wheel drive, and the ease in which it starts, and the comfort although I sometimes forget to get gas because it uses so little! Our extended family has owned so many Subarus that I've lost track of how many, but I'm still selling folks on these cars everywhere I go. In fact I just persuaded a friend in Europe to buy a Justy!  My present Legacy Outback wagon has 140,00 miles on it and still is great although I just might be interested in a new one soon, although my gas mileage is still very good. " Frona A.
 

"I was a private party nurse for a patient who was elderly, had Parkinson's disease, and Alzheimer's disease. She was at home, living with family, and was starting to go into "final stages". It was an evening in late January when I got a call from the family. No other nurses could make it up the steep dirt country road to their home in rural VT. A Jeep Wagoner and Chevy Truck had already gotten stuck in deep mud earlier in the week. The weather outside was rain and sleet mixed with snow.   "I was 7 months pregnant but I had my 4 door Subaru Legacy and I knew (we - my baby and I) we would be safe. So we drove all the way to that remote home in Vermont AND MADE IT ALL THE WAY (NO KIDDING). One foot of mud, sleet & snow on a Friday night! I drove home in 2 feet of snow on that Sunday afternoon. It was meant to be as the mom had a really bad night and the family was so grateful I was there. I was too! My Legacy was a blessing from God! That is why I love Subarus."   Robin R.

"I bought one of the last 2003 Legacy Wagon Special Editions. I absolutely love my Subaru! Knowing that we wanted to purchase & not lease, my husband & I did a lot of 'Consumer Reports' research and ended up with the best - SUBARU. I had originally wanted a Forester, but after a test drive I chose the wagon. I went from a Suburban to this little dynamite and it hasn't let me down yet. I made it over rte 124 from Jaffrey to Rindge all winter, even reported to work the day after the infamous ice storm. My next car will definitely be another Subaru:)"  Michelle C.
 
"I am 23 years old and my very first car was a Subaru Forester. I have had my Subaru Forester since I was sixteen. It has about 160,000 miles on it and is still going strong. I went to college in upstate New York and had to go through the Green Mountains to get there. During the winter it was always the worst weather in the mountains and every one was slipping and sliding and getting stuck. But when I headed up the mountain in my Subaru, It was as if I was driving a tank. I never even slipped once. I felt so safe in my car. My mother was also happy too because she would not have to worry about me driving home for the holidays. This is why I love my Subaru." Gloria   H.
 
"I loved the four Subaru's I owned, and the same goes for my parents... I remember using my first Subaru to help the Lee, MA fire department get around town to help the city get their snow plows out do to the blizzard....  Chris C

"Back in the early 80's I bought my first Subaru and loved it. I was active in many outdoor recreational clubs like biking, white water canoeing, camping and a variety of other activities. My Subaru wagon was the perfect car for my active lifestyle! I have had my eye on purchasing a new car for several years but I have not had the financial reserves at my disposal. Having a home in New Hampshire validates driving a Subaru to navigate through the challenging winters and therefore I hope that I am the lucky winner and can drive away the Subaru!" Sheila D.

"I have owned a Subaru since 1996.  In fact with a family of 4 all of us drive Subaru's.  I would not drive another car.  In 2003 I was in a car accident where I was t-boned. The car was totaled and I was uninjured. Thankfully it was a Subaru or I probably would not have been able to walk away."  Marcia D.

"I had a brand-new, shiny, black 1987 Subaru wagon. It was a great car but we traded it in when the mileage got high. Had a 1988 white hatchback that was a dream car too. In 2000 we traded that one in for a 1997 Subaru Impreza, which is what I drive now. It has ALWAYS been a good car. I love it. When I have to drive in a snowstorm, I know the All-Wheel Drive will keep me safe! It never slips! That's why I am sticking with Subaru for my next car." Marion H.

"I've been a Subaru owner since 1997 and can't imagine driving another car. I now have over 187,000 miles on it and it is still going strong as I keep it on a regular maintenance schedule. With every passing New England winter I appreciate it even more. " Joe. C.

"I come from a Subaru "family" (5 Subarus between 5 drivers), and currently have a 1996 Outback Sport.  My car (Gilbert) is now at 219,315 miles (as of this morning).  I live at the top of a hill on a dead-end dirt road, and despite the fact that there are times Gilbert has plowed the road with his bumper in the winter, we always get home. ALWAYS. My Subaru has never refused to get me where I need to go, it's never let me down, and it's always gotten me home.  I trust my Subaru, and Gilbert's never failed me."   Kait B.
 
"We are on our second Subaru, both have been used. The best advice I ever heard was given to my wife who has just started driving. About driving in the winter, 'take it slow and trust your Subaru'. When we are ready, we will definitely be buying another Subaru at Subaru of Keene." J.   S.
 
"Of course the best story of the legacy is the time we drove deep into the sand pits to retrieve a Jeep that was stuck deep in the mud. huge tires   on that were on that wrangler couldn't free the jeep however when the legacy pulled that jeep ever so slowly  crawled out just like the little engine   that could." Dave M.
 
"My first car was a Subaru GL hatch back and I loved it. Looking buy a Subaru Forester now. No matter what brand car we have looked at we always come back to Subaru best all around value." Brian L.
 
"My husband is a rural mail carrier and has owned four right-hand drive Subarus. We love our Subarus.  He currently drives a '99 Subaru Legacy that has 224,000 miles on it and is still going fine.  It is his daily driver on his mail route!!  He has another '98 Subaru Legacy as his back-up vehicle   when the '99 has to go in the shop.  I will also use the '98 when the winter weather is bad.  Nothing beats the Subaru all-wheel drive for driving in the New England winters.  :)" Jean M.
 
"I love my Subaru!!!  People stop and ask me about my Subaru all the time. And just what is so special about MY Subaru??  I have one of the bright   yellow Baja trucks.  Being a native Vermonter, snow and ice are a part of my life.  With the all-wheel-drive, my Subaru is like a mountain goat.    We live on a hill that has two choices for access.  One is a very steep, winding hill.  The other is a more gradual hill with an almost-hairpin   turn at the top.  My Subaru has not failed me yet.  And, we also have a Sheltie named Chloe,.. so the Subaru Impreza that is being given away would   fit perfectly with our family, graphics and all!" Darlene   K.
 
"I have a Forester, I use like a truck. I used it to move in to my house, stuffing every available inch, to the surprise of my friends who said "I can't believe   you got all that in there." I also load it with baby goats, ducks, chickens and geese, to take to the nursing home where I work." Lyanne   W.
   
"I have yet to be the proud owner of a Subaru.  We've been researching  cars for a while, different makes, different models, but always come back to   the Subaru.  Everyone I talk to, and I mean everyone, has experienced a Subaru one way or another and can't say enough good things!!  I sure hope   I win this one so I can cherish the Subaru experience!!"  Christine   M.
 
"We went to a friend's house in Walpole with our new Subaru Impreza.  It started to snow.  After dinner, there was about two feet of snow on the   country roads of Walpole. The Impreza busted through the snow bank and  handled the snow without a problem.  The only downfall was that we did   have an excuse to stay at our friend's house." Michael   D.
 
"My husband was driving to Woodstock Vermont during one of the snowstorms this past February. He drives a Subaru Outback wagon. His car went into a slide, hit the snowbank and rolled over on its side. 2 hours later he was driving the car home. Sure, it had a few dents but all the doors still work and there was no broken glass. I believe the car will still pass inspection." Antoine S.
 
"My last 6 cars have been Subarus...starting with a Brat, on to the Hatchback, then 2 station wagons, and last 2 have been WRX's. My current Subaru, a 2005   WRX is my dream car. Love how it handles & how it looks. Every once in a  while I think about trading for a new one, but just can't part with it! If I  win the 2009 Hatchback, it's going to my hubbie for a late birthday present, then we can BOTH love our Subarus."  Judy   L.
 
"I currently own a 2004 Subaru WRX and this car has been AMAZING! In every weather condition it holds it's own in comparison to any other vehicle I've owned (trucks included)." Shannon A.
