“I think durable, ultra-reliable, gets me to work in snow.”
I met a guy that worked on a logging crew. He turned in his big truck and got a Subaru to get to and from the main office because of those points, and the gas mileage.
But he said it took a LONG time for the guys to stop bringing in all of the liberal bumper stickers which they would leave by his locker!
Hahahahaha...
There are two drawbacks for me, though: First, it isn’t American made, but when I bought it there was nothing of comparable capability, form and value. Secondly, it gets crappy gas mileage. Only about 26 or 27 at the absolute best driving long distance highway, and most of the time otherwise, 22-23 mpg.
I will be looking at a Ford next time, if they offer an AWD version that gets better gas mileage. If I was in the market for a sedan, I would definitely purchase a Fusion. I do like those.
