I would prefer the 2025 Subaru outback depending on affordability. 2026 Subaru outback not certain on the design. But I recommend the older generation outbacks

@@Chris_Nation4_Rally yep.

The Impreza has plenty of space if you're also looking into a station wagon that's not too small not too big. Outback or Impreza is a good pick even in snowy conditions

@Chris_Nation4_Rally thought about a Crosstrek but too small for our needs. We need something larger for people and cargo without having to fold down the seats. Also need something to tackle sand, beaten up mountain roads and snow. Thus we need all conditions ability and ground clearance. Have a Yukon XL that can handle anything but not so great as a daily driver and sometimes it's just me and my wife so taking the Yukon is too much. Plus my wife doesn't like driving that huge thing. So she wants something she would be comfortable to drive in the snow. Keeping the Yukon still. Love that thing.

I would get the outback or the wilderness outback if you're into major off-road.

@@Chris_Nation4_Rally that would of been the one I would pick. But wife wants ventilated seats so would have to step up to the Touring.

This means you've been taking care of those vehicles. Changing oil every interval of 3-5 thousand miles, etc. I'm just talking about the people who abuse the vehicles by not changing oil, putting stress on the engine.

I bought my first Subaru two years ago, an Outback Wilderness. Subaru engines have evolved, but they still require maintenence and it's slightly more costly than other brands. I anticipate 300k miles out of this car.

What I think is most car brands and manufacturers announcing a new generation vehicle. Most of the time it's always been a trend and modernization for newly refreshed vehicles that's why Subaru is squaring off on the traditional station wagon to a SUV because people want the big SUVs with more room and space. That's what it is money, trending, etc.

Very nice! I have 3 Impreza and 1 Crosstrek these are really good vehicles

It could be a battery issue: at -17c (-30 degrees fahrenheit) indicates a weak or old battery struggling to hold charge due to very cold temperatures draining the battery. Make sure to check the battery and determine if it's working properly. If not test the starter solenoid. Or an alternator check or replace if it's not charging the battery. So it could be as simple as the battery is weak in cold temperatures.

Yes, in the early Subarus they used a single layered graphite coated head gasket. This is a problem back then where under heat and age chips and wears the gasket where pieces of the graphite get into the engine and cause oil to leak and pressure to build in the engine.

I'm getting passed down one when I'm 16 my uncle passed and gave me his special edition one worth 40thouthand

@@Cars-v2ehow many miles does it have

True. Maintenance is key to long gevity of a vehicle

The original boxer Engine from the Volkswagen Beetle was air cooled and or water cooled
