I hear you, but I worked there, my dad works there, 4 brothers and sis in law, s well as a couple aunts and uncles work there…. Everyone in my family has a subie… I just couldn’t do it last time. Plus I need a little more umph to drive through some of the neighborhoods I work in. Need to make a fast get away sometimes.Get a Subie Outback. I've had 4 in a row - they are never ever in the shop and they return +34 mpg and haul a ton of stuff with the seats down. You can get into one for cheap in the "Premium" model - I've did that very thing in #2 & #3 -- however, I did jump to the leathered up "Limited " this time around on #4.
You won't be disappointed.
