We at the clinic call it subaru racism, having to road test quite a lot of cars in a working week we see it all the time, other scoob owners normally wave and smile whilst a number of other car owners visualy give two fingered gestures, wrist motions and often lip sync w***er! or words to that effect.
I even had one guy follow me round to my house and kick off about somthing non car related only to end up stating "bloody subaru drivers your all the f***in same"............. Cheers then.
You are not on your own, what it is though is some kind of jealousy that I dont understand, but your right not to tackle these guys, you really dont know if they are tooled up or not.
Cheers

Wow
Wow, i really didn't expect that kind of a reaction to this post. But it seems that many of you have experienced similiar problems.
When i read these posts i realise that owning a Subaru is more then just owning the ultimate fun sports car but it's also being part of a community.
I've read all the negative posts recently and i don't believe they are justified, i wanna thank you guys for firstly cheering me up, secondly making me realise i done the right thing and thirdly getting rid of the crap feeling i had inside over this situation.
Thank you

You did the right thing mate 
scoobycat on here was on the same bit of road and went to over take a clio and they rammed his scooby on the side.
They stopped when he did and got out of the car looking like they were ready for trouble, so he got there reg and drove off and phoned the police.
Best to be save mate

Just had some cheese end try it on with me coming off the dual carriageway, some silly cow trying to overtake,not even keeping up. approaching a roundabout i slow down(like the signs say) and indicate to get in lane however, she is still hell bent on getting past and accelerates up to my bumper and starts flashing her lights, at this point the bloke in the passenger seat starts giving us the wnaker sign and proceeds to film the back end of my car whilst she is driving 3ft from my bumper for the next 2 miles intermittently flashing at me . Finally have enough and pull into a lay by expecting them to follow and they drive on like ******* not even havibg the ***** to look me in the eye

Im normally a very placid person but i admit i can become a bit of a monster when i get behind the wheel ,with regards to road rage. It seems to totally change my personality when i get into these situations

Ive personnaly never had a problem and can honestly say hand on heart i dont know how id react. it might be the fact i drive a wagon though as there not as much in your face with spoilers and the like. i only ever seem to get people admiring my car so maybe you should sell your saloon and join the wagon club

Never had any troubles with pishy cars and their drivers challenging me. However, I have had plenty comments about being 23 with a new Impreza, then 24 with a Lotus and surprisingly mostly from people who have claimed to be a friend.
