i dont know how that's better but if you say so ok. my wife traded in her '08 OBS for a '12 impreza sport. i used the OBS all the time, thought it was awesome til i discovered the outback. your OB looked a lot better than what you got but as long as you're happy, it is a pretty good car after all. put in an aem dry flow air filter, in the 104k miles the only problem, not caused by me putting in a bad spark plug, we ever had was the light burned on the drivers side seat warmer, still worker, just burned out bulb or whatever.
