Subaru. Subaru Impreza WRX to be precise, is the car of choice for Kenya’s ‘Nancy Boys.’ The Subaru Impreza’s trademark is blue, and the driver behind the wheels is likely to be a Kenyan sporting college moustache.

Their attention-seeking disorders will see them revving up the bloody machine, windows down, music blaring. Kenya’s ‘Nancy Boys’ love the Subaru for its performance (read speed), affordability and adrenalin rousing pace. The Subaru comes with that macho image that complements a new jobber who’s just taken a Sacco loan to acquire an Impreza to impress some campus girl, when not waking up toddlers in estates at midnight with the car’s roaring turbocharged engine.
