I went from a 2002 Outback to a 2008, so that was a big change for me. Overall, I think it's a nice car. It has a lot of room. It's awesome being able to move in and out of college by myself. It also has AWD. I barely slide in the winter and can always get up hills. If you like to do outdoor activities, the roof rack is awesome. I have been able to go kayaking a few times by just buying an attachment for the racks from Amazon.

I purchased this vehicle about two months ago before moving to a more rural area. I wanted something with all-wheel drive, good on gas mileage and a reliable and reputable brand. I love the gas mileage and the handling of the vehicle on slick roads. My vehicle has a CD/tape deck and radio which I appreciate, because I have all types of audio. I like the large windshield which makes visibility excellent. The day lights are also useful, since I've moved to a rural area which is very foggy most of the morning. I have a long 45-minute commute to work and the same distance home, and so far, it has been a comfortable and enjoyable experience. Winter driving will be coming soon, and I hope it will handle very well with the all-wheel drive.
