I have had nothing but Subaru's and Toyota's that I drive since about 1986, had several Subaru's till 2005 then went to Toyota's since. Im on my second Highlander now. Ive been looking also for replacement for a Corolla and the Rav 4 and Subaru Forester are pretty much at the top of my list.

I went to a dealer last week and test drove a 2022 GMC with low miles on it. Maybe a little larger than what I need and the exterior was black. Not being racist but black cars are hard to keep looking clean...I passed.
Today (Sunday) seems like a perfect day to go kick some tires and maybe buy a vehicle and none of the dealers are open on Sundays! $hit!
Our contractor offered us $3000 for the Terrain and plans to replace the carpet and padding for his son for his graduation. Besides all of the tree pollen, my lungs hurt from inhaling mold. I don't really smell it but everyone near my car says it is strong. I wheeze constantly.
It doesn't help that our A/C unit $hit the bed and it may be two weeks before they can replace it. The hot nights have been brutal!

Aw, Thanks. I am a poor sleeper as it is but can sleep on the basement couch if it too hot upstairs.

After spending hours on the internet looking at specific local dealers' sites, I discovered that many of the vehicles they "offer" are not actually on their lot but someplace else. It was overwhelming but I got a good feel for what was out there: pricing, condition and mileage.
After seeing what was out there for sale, I went on sites looking at the dependability and ratings of certain vehicles and manufacturers (dur, should have done that first!!) and several of the vehicles I was interested in rated very poorly. Top was BMW and second was Subaru. I know many people that swear by Subaru and one friend that has a car with 350+ miles and is still running strong.
Anyhow, I sold my Terrain to someone for a gift to his son who has a Birthday soon and is graduating from HS and is going to the Police academy. He is having the old carpet and padding replaced. I am happy it is going to a good home and I know the parents appreciate my honesty and maintenance UTD on said vehicle.

I am so very blessed
Congrats! We are a long-time Subaru family, starting in 1997 with my first one. I recently sold a 2014 Subie, and still own my very much loved 2017. All of these Subies are in perfect condition, and run and look just like they came off the showroom floor.After spending hours on the internet looking at specific local dealers' sites, I discovered that many of the vehicles they "offer" are not actually on their lot but someplace else.

Loved my '78 Subaru BRAT, hated my '85 SL wagon. The wagon must have been a Friday afternoon special.
Like BG said, if you keep them maintained, they are very reliable. I watch a YT channel "I Do Cars", and he does forensics on blown up motors. Every Subaru he's done was a neglected motor.

I have always taken care of my vehicles and know how necessary oil changes and maintenance etc are to dependability and performance. I hope this car will outlast me

Test drove a 2024 Toyota Rav4 hybrid today. I liked it better than the gasoline Rav4.
The 2020 Subaru Ascent I bought in May is a LEMON and I would absolutely not refer people to the dealership in Annapolis. The car is a piece of $hit and I am done with their lousy attitudes and inability to return phone calls and texts. It was in the shop for two weeks because- guess what- it HAS mold. They found kinked drainage tubes, the sun/moon roof gasket was leaking and a short in the rear door hatch (probably from getting wet). They never addressed the mold and said it should clear up since they fixed it. It still has a mold smell. I ran it through the car wash a couple weeks ago and took pics of the puddles of water on the drivers side floor. Last week, my husband noticed the rubber gasket/molding under the wiper blades was twisted and had a huge gap.
The attitudes of the people working there both in sales and service really sucks. And I really wanted to love having a Subaru.
