Just traded the wife's 2017 3.6R Limited and got a balls to the walls, fully loaded black 2020 Subaru Outback XT Touring, pics tomorrow, as we just got home. Holy effing shit, these are not in the same zip code. I "liked" the 2017, and my wife had free reign to pick what she wanted, and that included a $20k more expensive Lexus GS350 F-Sport.
Now that I drove this Subaru home from Miami, if I were forced to pick between a $60k Lexus GS350 and this $40k Subaru, I'd pick the Scooby Doo 10 times out of ten. (We paid $36k out the door with the trade of the 17. We had good equity.) The tech on this car is amazing, and the turbo 4 cylinder is SO MUCH better than the 3.6R boxer 6. More power, more torque. Best part, our neighbors won't truly have a clue that we bought a new car. The stealth factor between the '17 and the '20 is amazing. Room inside for my big ass is HUGE. I can't drive with the seat all the way back. ![]() |

I bought a used 2016 Subaru Outback just last month. I sold my 2000 Ford F150 Crew Cab on Craigslist and traded in our 2005 Honda Accord. The Outback had only 23k miles on the clock. Last month, I drove it to Southern CA. Great gas mileage and the power this 4 banger has blows me away. It's not their top of the line, but with low mileage and all wheel drive, I'm happy I bought it for $21k.

Years ago thinking of a Subaru. At that time people in cold weather states were complaining about the inadequate heater in the reviews I read. Living in New York it kill the thought of a Subaru for me.

Still can’t believe you’d get a black car living in Florida.

Call me Henry Ford. You can have any color you want, so long as it's black. As a kid, I started working at a car wash when I was 14. I've been a car nerd, and detailing fanatic my entire life. When a black car is clean, the shine is like no other.
Patty was granted cart blanche to pick the vehicle she wanted, but the color is always a constant. ![]() C8 will be black. |

Datafiz, if you had bought the Forester, you could have got the Forester Ultimate Customized Kit Special edition, also known as ****S.
