My 2011 Outback is the worst car I have ever owned.I can't remember how many times it's been in for repairs, rattles and the AC. It's cheap, gutless, it has no road feel to it. Pretty much soulless.
I have owned almost every make of car and I wonder why I ever went away from Toyota.

No Mazda fans out there? I like the look of the CX5 and seems worth it in gas. I have no experience with it.

the 2012 rav4 6 cylinder is quick as hell, might not look as nice as the new one but blows its doors off in performance

we have an AWD v6 Venza, much more roomier than a RAV4, great car.

what about the Mercedes GLK? It's not that much more expensive and has great reviews...and I love the look of it more than any other small SUV out there.

Look for the 04/05 Forester XT. Hard to find, but best car I've owned. 130k miles and will maintain until it stops. Find a turbo with manual transmission and the giant sunroof, and you won't care what people think ;) Also, this is a great resource: http://www.subaruforester.org/

hmm.... RE:

19/24 mpg....that's about the same gas mileage and 0-60 as an old V8 american car.... which is much more fun and cheaper to fix... but of course, your friends will think you're anti-environmental in a V8 american car, whereas you're all progressive and shit in a Subaru....

I'm currently in a turbo 2014 forester. Great ride. Much, much, much better than the 2011 I was in. Like leaps and bounds better.
- MPG?utopian
- Approximately 530 km to a full tank on regular fuel in heavy hwy traffic daily. It gets better if you use premium.Gucci
- But the dash shows I average between 9 and 10 litres per kilometre pretty consistently. Not sure how accurate that is though.Gucci
- Definitely not the best fuel economy, but it's an SUV, not a smart car...it's to be expected.Gucci
- 9-10 kms per liter, surely...sine

2014 Forester owner after owning an 02 for 12 years. It's excellent in the snow, is great for carting stuff around in, and is okay for family car. I had a good experience with my 02, and I liked the upgrades they made to the 14. My wife digs it too. I will say that the interface on the entertainment "system" is pretty bad. But still happy with it and no regrets.

^ Uhhh yeah. Whoops. 9-10 litres per 100 km. Bit of a typo there.
Either way, I'd recommend it. Great ride.
