Thanks everyone. ecomodded, It seems altering the ecu would be exactly what I want but I have no idea even where to begin. I was hoping to be lazy and find someone who already knows how. Pete c. I have to humbly disagree with you that Subaru has the engineering/manufacturing capability to design and build more/different cars. Just my opinion but from what I've seen they are very slow in releasing new designs and a bit smaller than the competition. Redpoint5 is thinking like the big wigs at soob. I for one would like to see them release FWD or even RWD as an available option on all their models. No confusion. You just order the thing the way you want. They would be rather expensive for a 2wd vehicle though. ProDarwin I like your Idea and agree a civic is a great, great car for mileage but I don't have one. I used to have a wagovan and loved it but the rust ate it so completely that it wasn't safe. I do have an accord wagon so a link to some of those parts would interest me. Right now though I am broke and I need my Subie for the snow and mountains and off road. A quick note: Redpoint5 mentioned the safety factor of the Subaru AWD and I can personally vouch for this after a near miss in which I simply used the shoulder to avoid an accident happening in front of me. The legacy wagon is absolutely incredible at soaking up huge bumps and staying stable and in control while carving a four wheel rut through the wet grass at 60+ mph. Definitely safer than a truck or suv and more able than a car. My girlfreind was with me and wants one now too.
