About a little over a year ago I bought a Subaru Outback limited edition in October of 2015. Now this is the first car I have owned since having my 71' VW Beetle all the way through college and my first job. How did I get into buying an Outback? It was because of an ex-girlfriends mother who let me drive hers while we visited over the holidays. She owned an Outback and the car just drove let a champ. It had plenty of room to haul all my stuff. The gas mileage was equal to or better the my old Beetle depending on the terrain. Two of the best surprises was the steering and the power from such a small engine. Being a truck guy, I like my vehicle to be able to get me where I want to go no matter what the weather. This Outback did just that. Her mother lived in Seattle at the time of our visit and if you know Seattle, or Washington State for that matter, even when it is not raining it's still raining. The car got me everywhere and handled very well in bad weather on or off road. The thing did not let me down on the freeway either. Plenty of zip going up and down the road with no problem at all. In 2015 I decided to get a second vehicle and that vehicle was a new Outback. It drives even better than the one I drove in the past. Very good handling and excellent gas mileage, and the 15" all terrain tires make my fishing trips very easy. Easily my best purchase of 2015.

This was a durable and very reliable car for most part. It didn't start having any serious issues until it got close to the 13 year/200,000 miles range of usage. The upkeep was kind and it took me where I needed to go. It also had good burst and maneuverability. I liked driving around with the sun roof open. It was overall a very dependable car.
