Well no shit. It's a Subaru.

:d ontknow:

All I see is flappidy flap flaps for flapping sake!

You just snapped my neck going from the BMW to the Subaru dude.

Forde, how much does she fork over for the lease? It looks nice.

Ooohh shit them's some expensive BMWs to lease.

Like an Audi.

Fuck me, I'll stick with the oval.

Chris - A lot. Like $650ish I think? Not sure. But money isn't a huge concern for her to be honest.. and it is what she likes. She doesn't spend a lot of money on herself so it is one thing she is willing to do. She actually was seriously contemplating a M4 for a bit...

Don't get another Subaru man...

Welcome to my hell I get to the point where I think I want to spend the $30k and then snap all the way back to only wanting to spend $3-$5k. Eventually I'll build back up to looking at $30k cars again

I dunno they are inexpensive, the flat 6 is way more reliable than the other engines, the flat six sounds glorious with exhaust. The Outback I could turn into a Legacy Wagon with some shocks and my old spec.B springs I still have.

It's still a Subaru...I just don't get the appeal of Subaru's :d ontknow: I still think you should get an SS, and by the time you make a decision, they'll be around 30k :ick:

I dunno I just kinda like how they drive, somewhat mechanical and raw without being punishing for a longer drive. Horizontally opposed engines keep the center of gravity relatively low making even our 2016 Outback more stable and fun to drive than a car it's size and height should be.

I love my 02 outback beaner with the 3.0 in it. It's just the right size, handles well enough in the dry, but handles exceptionally when the weather turns foul (which hasn't been much of an issue in KC the past 5 years or so). Is it perfect, hell no, but it work perfectly for my needs...the correct tool for the job if you will. (I realize that any small CUV/SUV or wagon would likely be sufficient for my current needs) I would never get a 4cyl. model again however due to the head gasket issues, but maybe the new(er) engine isn't as prone to failure as the mid nineties to late oughts were.

The 4 cylinder version stopped having HG issues in 2010 and were reduced significantly after 2005, but those did have some oil consumption issues but most of those will have been taken care of by now.

This. It's also a very simple job and when done right won't happen again

simple, maybe if you have the capability to pull the engine. With the engine in place, it is a little more difficult.
