So I purchased a used 2019 Subaru Outback 2.5l premium package with 144,000 miles back in October. I drive...a lot. My spouse and I both work 6-7 days a week as couriers and a series of car problems left us with only this new Subaru. I have never owned a Subaru. I've never heard much about Subaru. I do know cars and after 42 years of living underneath them so they would crank just to get to town and survive, this vehicle was immaculate. Just very well cared for. I have since then, when time permits, look a Subis for sale and am always impressed by the very regular maintenance and overall quality of care taken to the vehicles. That is by no means universal but it seems to be the rule rather than the exception. They are also exceptionally easy to work on. If you have the confidence to fix a lawn mower, you can handle most maintenance yourself (including changing CV axles). Just a dream if you can do basic maintenance, say changing an alternator is your tech level, you're good on a lot of repairs. The drive and handling are amazing. It's so wet where I live that Ben Shapiro doesn't know we exist. When it rains, people turn on their hazards and look for shelter. Not me, not in my Subi. The only thing that the rain does is take away my eyesight cruise control and you can turn it back to regular cruise control by holding the bottom lane spacing button for like 5 seconds. So I like this car, what does my opinion matter? Who am I and why should anyone care? I'm a medical courier. I bring life saving blood, medication, you name it, I'm on call 24/7 to guarantee that your family and friends have what they need when no one else even can. As I stated to recap, I purchased this 2019 Subaru Outback in October. In 2 months I have put 30,000 miles on it. I can't afford insurance but I work every day to try and make a better place for my family and this Subaru has been a godsend. I've owned Toyota and Honda, I have 2 Fords, I have owned Isuzu, GMC, you name it, nothing aside from my 1983 AMC Jeep CJ-7 has truly been this well built and the Jeep sure as shit didn't save my life on a daily basis. I have truly put this car through some shit. 20 hour drives (also that big ass gas tank is crazy) all over the US. I haven't even changed the oil, because of the consumption rate I just keep some extra and add every 7-9k miles (it is warm where I currently live). It had electrical issues with the eyesight cam and a few other things that were fixed every time you disconnected the battery. I got a remote battery disconnect and now I just use the fob to reset the computer and it always drives fine. I will keep everyone posted as I just got a bunch of custom stuff to make her really unique and will share more soon. For now, here are some highlights of our journey (there is a video of me hitting a hawk but I need to find it, give me a few days). Also my spouse drives this car and has already wrecked it twice. It is an absolute tank. Not winning any street races but holy shit it's reliable and simply built!
