Agree with all above and it's also the reason I went Subaru. You don't need to be going quickly to enjoy it.
I do like a big V8. The 6.2 Mercedes lump in the C63 is amazing. I also love the sound of the supercharged VXR8 Bathurst edition.
The other distinct note I can think off is that of a certain inline 5 cylinder lump. Be it Audi Quattro rally car, any of the Dahlback cars, Volvo T5 or Focus RS. They all sound great!
