My wife currently drives an Outback and it will probably be our last Subaru as while it's been fairly reliable outside of H6 engine oil consumption these cars do not age well. If feels like the interiors are dated on arrival so after four years I feel like I'm in a car that's 15 years old. I just don't get how Subaru became so popular as every automaker offers AWD now and most do it with much better engines, transmissions, interiors, etc.
