You know, the more I drive it the more I am so glad I bought it.
16k miles now and it is still the most comfortable car I have ever owned and with the onset of winter the mileage is dumping back into the 25s but it's all good.
The sienna I had would probably be getting around 19 so it's an improvement.
I have actually grown to love the hanging revs and constant pull that the 2.5 and CVT bring on the morning on-ramp to I94. It's like a comforting siren song of the boxer with a goofy chain tranny singing to me it's joy of revolutions.
Contrary to everyone else I love the black interior and even though the boys have put a number of dents in it with golf balls it still is in pretty good shape.
Snow will soon be here and I relish in the fact that it will conquer it with no issues and even the stray ice event like last early winter, passing a spinning Explorer on a hill, will also pose no threat.
Enjoy your Outbacks.
