We decided to really branch out on this one. We looked at an Audi A4 Avant, but the rear leg room is abysmal. We looked at a Subaru Outback, but there was just something about it that we didn't like. Wifey didn't want anything bigger and I didn't want an SUV. We realized that she didn't want to give up her car, but I was totally okay with taking her car if she got something else. So, we bought the exact same car. 2010 Subaru Forester XT Limited. The only difference is that the black owne has the navigation system.

I'll be taking the black one from Wifey, as it has more mileage. I'll be getting onto Swift springs, dropping it .75" but stiffening it up a bit. I'll also probably be picking up a set of black wheels (or powder coating the stock) when I replace the current tires with winter rubber. There will be no changes to the power levels. Just some cosmetic and handling bits.

the lady i worked for in colorado offered to give me her outback over me driving my passat wagon because she didn't trust my car for hauling her dogs around in.....i politely declined.

other than awd.....outbacks have no redeeming qualities.

Yeah if the cops light you up, just pull over as your probably not going to outrun the cops in a Outback. Good Move.....

 

[JohnE]

Love my Subaru...and yes, I am a lesbian. I probably have to sell it thins summer, and find a new on (Or maybe a midsized pickup...) when I return stateside...

 

[HardtailHack]

Needs straight cut box in it not lesbian roller derby box.

Good luck with your head gaskets

Guy I work with just had to do head gaskets on his 07 outback.

that was more to point out they looked at an outback but didn't want an SUV.


when you look at the dimensions posted, it makes a terrifying amount of sense

You posted a picture of your car on the internet without blocking out the license plate number. Aren't you afraid someone is now going to ruin your life with that data?

anyone that knows how to do that probably figures his life is already ruined because of the "his & hers" matching cars

Jeezus. Subaru *still* hasn't fixed the head gasket problem?

Fortunately it's pretty "cheap" around here to get those fixed...

Funny how color affects perception so greatly. That black one looks much cooler.

Awesome. Way to play the field, Stoney.

If you look at my current line of vehicles, the only similarity is they all burn gas. I have never liked something so much, I got 2.

Although the lady wants either a Corvette of her own, or mine if I ever get Ginger built. So I could wind up a 2 Corvette family.

If by cooler, you mean super duper douche...I agree.

I knew that if I googled "custom black", there would be a few things awesome. I underestimated:

The comps are all compact SUV's, so not an equal comp. Also, the Outback is a lifted Legacy Wagon. That is it. No more. We would have bought a Legacy wagon no issue. I just don't like how the Outback drives or looks.

You're funny. That can be pulled from any car in any parking lot.

Awesome. Way to play the field, Stoney.

We actually looked at quite a bit. It was the only one that met our needs 'good enough', as the Legacy Wagon is not available in the US. If I am looking at equal cost and equally 'good enough', I'm buying what I know. I can work on it, it's sufficient, and I already know any expected issues that can arise.

I really want to snicker at the concept of a murdered out subie, but I drive an orange toaster, so can't say much.

I propose "Taking the black one from wifey" as Stoney's new title. Mods...oh, mods........puhleeeeeze!!!!!

This. It will take something truly epic to replace the custom title Stoney already has.

buying a audi and complaining about maintenance would have done it.

don't try so hard?

how do you know you have a problem with your head gasket? A buddy of mine has an older Legacy wagon and was saying how it requires a lot more oil than his Honda van... would that have anything to do with a head gasket?

He's burning oil. That's your answer.

Head gaskets do a lot more than consume oil. They are also known to consume antifreeze as well.
