It seems that whenever I've been in the northeast, about every other car seems to be some sort of Subaru Forester, Outback or whatever they are called. There aren't hardly any around where I live, but I've run across a 2004 model that a guy bought new and is selling because he bought a new "su-bar-u". I'm considering it for one of my daughters, but I have no real experience with them. I know the stats on them, and they are clearly reliable, but I've never been 'hands on' with one. Anyone?
