Ok - I gotta ask - what about Subaru’s turned you off?
I love both of ours! Economical, well built, low maintenance, AWD (need in NYS), fast and fun IMO. The interiors are cheap in many but that’s not much of a factor to me.
Poor engineering in the Legacy was the reason. Before that my wife and I had 8 Subarus. Only thing that had a 4-wheel drive which we needed for our driveway in winter.
Last Legacy the cup holders were in front of the air conditioning vents so my hot coffee got cool really quick. Also could not see the clock/radio display if you had anything in the cup holders. Hit a bump and it spilled Coke (liquid variety) into the dash and it gummed up the heating/AC vents. Big bucks, $800, to fix or have the vents work either in the dash or on the floor as they would not move. Light went out in the radio/clock display. No replacement lamp option, just a big bill, $650, to replace the entire radio/clock.
