In June, we purchased a 2018 Subaru Outback for my wife. We just took our first 'real' road trip and both of our 'likes' for this vehicle improved from an "infatuation" to "love" (remember their slogan, "Love. It's what makes a Subaru, a Subaru."). The trip from Alabama to the Upper Peninsula in Michigan was great... all 2,200 miles! The ride is nice but a little firm. Subaru oozes in safety features. The gas mileage was incredible - at 55 mph, we averages 38.8 mpg - at 65 mph, we realized 36.0 mpg. I think if I had to get a another car today that I would immediately take a look at another Subaru.

I inquired about the dreaded head gasket problem that plagued some of the Subaru engines (that I first read about here on Pelican) and, according the the salesperson, there is a bulletin from Subaru that covers this failure for 10 years after purchase - I have not verified this.
