I bought my Subaru because I had a few friends that owned Outbacks, and I was really impressed with how they handled in the snow. I live in Minnesota and really love that its AWD is 50/50 the whole time, unlike most that are 80/20. There is a huge trunk space, and as a freelance makeup artist, I can always fit my kit: a table, chair, set bag and any extras. I was also in a T-bone accident this winter from someone going 60 mph, and I survived with a TBI from hitting my head, but it could have been much worse.

I immediately fell in love with my Subaru. I was looking for a quality family car that was fuel efficient, safe and comfortable. I tried out multiple cars and the second I sat down in the Outback... I just knew. I went on a test drive and the smoothness of the ride was incredible. It feels big on the inside so you aren't crammed together, and there is a huge hatchback for everything you need. There is a rearview camera built in as well, which is amazing. I live in the Midwest, so the heated seats were a must. I also really loved that the Subaru is different from other AWD vehicles in that it is 50/50 all the time and then if need be will kick more into the front or back. Most are 20/80 all the time.
