[QUOTE="Marlow Wilson, post: 25304, member: 47"] I'm less sure of the US resale market, but Subarus demand a premium here. If the AWD isn't necessary or desirable, I'd skip it. Not only do they result in a higher purchase price, but they also have higher maintenance and operating costs compared to FWD models. For example, tires need to be with a 1/4" circumference - damage one, and you might be in for a new set depending on wear (or risk differential damage). They also need to be towed on a flatbed (though I've never required towing) and use more fuel in general. They are still great cars but, in Canada at least, when people buy Audi and Subaru, AWD is usually a primary consideration. Just my thoughts... [/QUOTE]
