Great people, dog and cargo hauler with 8.7" of ground clearance and a fantastic AWD system. It will go almost anywhere in almost any weather! And, it's one of the safest vehicles in a crash. If something happens to mine, I'm getting another one.
If you're looking for owner/driver info, you can find it here:

I haven't been car shopping in 30 years. My car is a 1984. LOL!
Good heavens, Ma, I bet you had a "time warp moment" when looking at stickers, and figuring payment.
I've heard great things about Subarus so hubby and I got a pair. We bought the 2013 Crosstrek, which I'm guessing is a lower end SUV compared to the others. Anyhoo, even though it's a step down (or two) from my Saturn, I like having a SUV with back cargo for taking dog to vet without having to sit in my back seat LOL.
However, Mr. Beachy said it didn't handle well in the snow. We need to find out why since they are supposed to be great, especially the model you got. I didn't drive in any of the number of snow storms we had so I can't say how it handles.
