The Subaru Outback is one of the best family vehicles on the market. It has ample room in the trunk to hold groceries and strollers. The rear seat allows you to put in two car seats or keep your preschoolers far enough apart that they don't fight. It is narrow enough to comfortably fit in a garage while roomy enough to be comfortable. Heated seats are standard. It handles muddy and icy streets well. It comes with a powerful engine that goes 0 to 60 well before you reach the end of the highway ramp. This is one of the most reliable vehicles I've owned in 20 years. They rarely need repairs until it hits the 100K mile mark. This is the second Subaru Outback I've owned, which tells you how much I liked the vehicle.
