Hi all,
My wife picked up a 2011 Impreza OBS last year.. mainly as a commuter. Since then we've welcomed a baby boy, and suddenly the Impreza feels like a Smart car - no room at all with car seat and dog! Not to mention, our Chicco Keyfit installed on LATCH requires the passenger seat to be pushed ALL the way up. Horribly uncomfortable. This leaves my LGT as the 'road trip' car..
That said - its time to get a true 'family car' - an Outback. I've done extensive shopping, and value wise, it cannot be beat. I was leaning towards a Highlander, but just can't justify the cost. I'm currently perusing used 2.5 Limited's.. and there are plenty from 2010 and 2011 that can be had for $25k or less - which is a pretty sweet deal..
So my question would be.. anything in the 2010 Limited that would be lacking? I know the mirrors don't fold in, which is totally idiotic.. but otherwise, would it be best to look at newer models? Appreciate any help.
