We would still be driving it today if someone hadn't rear ended it and totaled it. t was smaller than the newer models, spacious and fun to drive. If only Subaru made hybrids we would buy another.

Reliable simplicity

I have been buying Subaru vehicles for 22 years and this may be the best one. I read a lot and the Automaker is changing to meet their perceived desire of consumers. But this small maker of cars may be stretching itself. The sweet spot is when they made fun, reliable, simple cars, like the L.L. Bean Forester I have, that joins an unSubie Subie, the Tribeca, and a L.L. Bean Outback.

My first SUV

I purchased my very first new vehicle ever just a couple of days ago and I think it is wonderful. I haven't had it long enough to really comment on the gas mileage but my old car only got 15 miles/gal so this is a dream. The SUV handles very well and my children love it. It has plenty of room my husband is a very large man about 350 lb. And he fits in the vehicle just fine. I would recommend them to anyone.
