Like many of you, I'm obsessed with cars. It's not just driving them, but the care and feeding also, washing, waxing, gawking, reading about them, etc. After the honeymoon wears off, sometimes in 1 year, I begin looking for a different adventure. For the last 10 years, or so, I've been buying new vehicles from Lexus, including one 2010 RX350 and one 2013 RX450h. I was looking for a comfortable crossover that had modern technology, reliability and solid construction. The RX had all of those qualities, with one exception....both rattled so badly, the honeymoon didn't last very long.
I currently have a 2013 GS350 that I am going to trade on a 2015 OB 2.5 Limited. I'm just waiting for it to arrive sometime this month. This change of heart from Lexus to Subaru happened because a friend of mine decided to get a new car after his 11 year old Vibe began needing work. He asked for a replacement recommendation, so I began doing some research and discovered the safety and value qualities of Subaru, and the Forester fit the specs he was looking for. He bought it, I drove it and was converted.
I test drove the 2015 OB and knew this was my new adventure. The OB was more comfortable, quieter, had better tech, was much cheaper, without sacrificing quality and ....NO RATTLES.
Sorry for the long post, but I need to kill time while I wait for my OB to arrive. I will apologize in advance for any future posts that have many words, but lack substance. My friends are also accusing me of that since I put the deposit down on the OB. That's all I read about and talk about. Thanks for your responses verifying my experiences of not hearing any rattles. I'll be ok.........soon.
