My bicycle has thin fenders

Subaru has hardened steel sheet stamped. You push on any car in the wrong spot today and you can push in the sheet metal covering the cage. Added features - and increased mileage comes at a cost - weight savings is found by using lighter higher quality stronger steel for other stuff.

Wrong- go find a new Golf or GTI and try to find a soft spot..you wont- trust me as a former owner of one. Things are so incredibly solid, but there is a weight penalty to be had.

I remember the first time I saw my hood flexing in the wind at highway speeds in the OB, but I guess that's my price for a 30mpg AWD wagon
