re: Any Subaru owners here?

Your wife is a lesbian

My wife loves her 2021 Outback Touring and it will virtually drive itself on the highway as long as you keep a hand near the wheel and your eyes looking forward. I traded in a 2013 Mazda CX-9 and my insurance went down when we bought it because it has so many safety features.

Reliable, noisy, slow as shite. Does nothing for me and I dont think it fits me, but gotdammit it does what I need and I am stuck with

I think this sums up how all Subaru owners feel

Never looked twice at a Subaru in my life til my neighbor bought one of these new a few months ago.. It’s a Subaru Outback “Wilderness Edition” and it’s so cool looking that it makes me want to drive up into the mountains for a few days, and im not even a camping /hiking guy.. it looks similar to the pic below, but looks better in person.. reminds me a little of those cool AMC Eagle 4x4s that were popular circa 40 yrs ago .


Fwiw she is mid-late 20s, really cute and not a lesbian

ETA i lied, when i was a very small child in the late 1970s my parents were car shoppping and i remember being at a car lot in Metry looking at Subaru Brats .. those were some odd-looking vehicles

get ready to go camping. Except she buys all the stuff and yall never go

Don't even hesitate to buy one. I traded my truck for an Outback in 2018 and am now on my second one - I was rear-ended by a Dodge Ram going 45-55 in my first one while at a stop, and while I obviously felt it, I walked away with no issues. Unfortunately I had a 3.6l limited and all their engines are 2.4l now. I opted for a Wilderness with the turbo which helps and appreciate the little bit of extra clearance.

Been really happy with mine.

Got it primarily for driving in snowy/icy conditions in the mountains, and with a good set of winter tires crossed the divide some 150+ times this winter with no trouble.

Reliable enough (dont expect Toyota levels, but its good), gets good gas milage, and like I said handled some nasty conditions.

I do wish I had more clearance for some of the FS roads and that I could have gotten a turbo, as i do find it lacks power going uphill.

CVT transmission, just like a Rogue, Honda CRV . Will have tranny issues.

We got the Ford Edge AWD for the wife.
We researched the outback and were set to buy the next morning. We both read two pages and looked at each other. “ did you see all that about the cvt tranny”. “. Yep “.
