Very impressive performance.  I'd love to see them go back with some proper off-road tires and see what the car can do then!  But even so, that's incredible performance on street tires.  :thumbup:

Anyone else thing one of the magazines needs to do an SUV or CUV comparo test at Rocks and Valleys?  :D

That Jeep that pulled them out of the mud is an absolute beast, too.  I love it...

This will interest Trainmain.  ;D

Thanks, and I think AVToller would be interested too!

That video is getting a fair bit of comment on the Forester forum as well.  Rather amazing what it can do with a skilled driver.  Good thing I don't like mud   ;)  But do have decent off-road tires, so maybe it would be better   ;D

Tough little bugger ain't it. I thought it had a much better growl than any of our Subie's and then I realized it must have been the Jeep.

Except maybe that mudhole, unless you have a box of alternators lying around. ;)
