I came here to say exactly this but I think you've said it better. Three other considerations - Foresters are excellent in the snow, have ample trunk space for craigslist finds, and run better if you've named them...

this is true, I should not bring shame on my Forester! It has handled many a snow storm and cross country move.

(the cross-trek colors are just v cute)

The cross-trek colors are so much better. My only complaint of Margo the Mammoth is her dreary silver paint job. We like to park her next to other Subarus and I've caught her eyeing some of their flashy colors.

We've had an outback for 6 years, big rec! No issues to speak of, sooo much space in the back.

All Subies are good Subies. It's like dogs.

As semi-outdoorsy bisexual 42-year-old woman who listens to NPR and has a tote bag filled with other tote bags, I vigorously approve the message. (Get an Outback if you like to car-camp.)

As a proud owner of a Subaru Forester for six years, I still can only aspire to be a semi-outdoorsy bisexual woman someday

I've had my outback for 15yrs! it's a tank. i've driven it like a snow plow thru 4ft of snow in MI, i've taken it thru back country in northern CA, i've driven it for years in LA & NY with props & bolts of fabric, carted my nieces and nephews safely to school, joy rides w. friends, you name it. I love it so much. And yes, I too have a tote bag full of tote bags in the back.

Subarus are great! If I wasn't emotionally, sentimentally, and aesthetically committed to my Volvo I would have one. My MIL's Forester has been going strong for two decades now coast to coast; it's a marvel!

Also PSA you can get five of these Subaru charms for free with your VIN number https://www.starsubaru.com/badge-of-ownership/

This is an excellent PSA. It's like a scout badge for the car and I had no idea!

“I just bought a forester hybrid and there’s something so deliciously analog about this car. It takes me back to my 90s youth and a green station wagon my mom tooled us around in. Unpretentious yet studly. Of course I went for “autumn green.” I love her.”
