Re: new car
They aren't a bad Subaru option. Here in Australia they haven't been popular as they replaced the Australian made Holden Commodore and people didn't accept the Euro made replacement

Re: new car
I did test drive a few Subaru. Wasn't impressed that to get what I wanted I had to get a sunroof. I went out of my way to find a new car without a sunroof.
Subaru have better feeling brakes. This thing is over boosted

Hey Mattel and Erik,
Just for clarification, this is a Buick I believe. Very nice looking car.

I wanted my wife to test drive the Regal TourX, it was on our short list, but she preferred the feel of the 2019 Outback we ended up purchasing.

Re: new car
Quite the contrast from a T4! Fast wagon's are fun. When the snow get's deep enough a T4 could give that a run for it's money though, looks pretty low.
Being a Euro car and a turbo, I would suggest only feeding it the highest quality fluids and never wait for the OLM to run out. Pay close attention to the maintenance schedule for all other services.
