What made me purchase this vehicle was that it is a Subaru, and the slick design and color really caught my eye. For me being a truck person this was a big step for me. I needed a dependable family car that I could still utilize off road, great on gas mileage, safe and could store a lot of things. It has more than enough ground clearance to take almost anywhere and with the symmetrical all wheel drive, I am more than comfortable driving around with my family. I purchase this car with 50,000 miles. Other than a few minor dings and scratches, this car was pristine. All records indicated regular maintenance was completed. The seats are more than comfortable and the inside is very spacious. Enough room for my wife, 3 kids, and camping gear in back and on top. Gas mileage is good, could be better. But I have the 4 cyl. I wish I had the 6 cyl but money talks. Overall, the best vehicle I have ever owned. Dependable, trustworthy, safe, and it's not a mini van. So, dad's can still look cool!
