In 2012 I totalled my Toyota Yaris by hydroplaning in the rain kn the freeway.
Took the residual equity check from insurance and bought a Subaru legacy wagon on Craigslist with 200 k miles. AC still blew ice cold. Drive it for another 100 k until t-boned on icy roads by driver who couldn’t stop. It stove in the passenger side and blew out passenger windows in February Michigan.
I still drove it home and to a Subaru dealer where I bought a demo low miles Impreza.
Sold on Subarus with AWD in Michigan Winters.

Despite the haters, the Subaru Outback has served me well.

One of the best cars for the snow with the high wheelbase and all-wheel drive. I drive these for hundreds of thousands of miles. Keep up with the oil changes and required maintenance and they will run practically forever.

I pass cars down to the family. I wind up with the oldest car. I drive the fewest miles. I’m 77.

I was t-boned a few years ago. Hertz gave me a Mazda % suv the first year they had the front and back security cameras. I loved the car. It was a little bigger than a Honda CRV., Good driving position. Took the check from the car that was totaled and bought the hertz Mazda I had been driving.

Took it to Sacramento and back from San diego Did well in the mountains and the long haul up and back thru te valley on I-5.
