Those ones from 30+ years ago were built like tanks and were favoured by
Uni profs, better-off teachers, accountants and some lawyers.
That demographic now drive Subarus.
I have been driving a Toyota for the last 14 years and will be giving it
to my son and his partner in the fall when the twins arrive. I am
seriously considering a Mazda as a replacement. I would normally buy
another Toyota but the Mazda has a few more safety gizmos.
