My nest car(w/in the next month or so) will BE a Subaru Outback Wagon/SUV. There are VERY FEW individuals more CONSERVATIVE than my wife and I. MOST “American” “Cars” handle like CRAP in bad weather. Oh and I ALSO drive a 1993 Mazda Protege(Love it/GREAT on gas) and a 1992 Chevy K1500 4x4 Pick-Up(It’s alright(kinda cheaply built AND has SAE AND Metric parts(DRIVES ME NUTS)).
Oh and in mid-Dec my Kid TOTALLED my 2006 Kia Optima Sedan. THAT car WAS A NIGHTMARE, handled like CRAP in ANY WEATHER and was built like CRAP. NO MORE KIAs EVER!
