Went to look at a Subaru yesterday. Have my eye on a new WRX or a 2000-2001 Vintage 2.5RS. Got to drive a pristine mint 2001 2.5RS, really a super ride. It was a sunny afternoon but it had just rained a few hours before. The salesman suggests I drive the 2.5RS. So, we go down this country road, never been on this road before. The salesman is in the back seat.

About 5 mins into the drive, I go around a turn, the car looses control (despite being in 2nd gear and AWD) and plows into an on comming Ford Explorer Sport. I pull off, everyone in both cars was OK, though the lady in the Explorer was badly shaken.

There were witnesses, all who supported that I was not speeding, and this was a tough turn in this weather. Everyone looked at the salesman like "what the hell are you thinking, taking this car on these roads with peope who've never driven this car...."

The salesman admitted guilt to me and the cop. Even the lady who was in the Explorer was like "that jerk" in reference to the salesman despite I was indeed driving.

I was not issued a ticket, nor a report number. The dealership I assume has insurance, but can mine be affected? Can the dealership go after me?

The Dealer appoligized and said they "were sorry." They have a copy of my driver's ID and my phone number. Do you think I will suffer any recourse? Hope all is well with everyone.

And just for the record, the Subaru made a real mess of that Explorer. Strong cars those Subarus.
