Thoughts on a Subaru Outback?

Looking at getting a reliable vehicle that can transport a family on long vacations and occasionally tow a 1500 lb camper. Budget is $25k.
Prefer to get something that will have a warranty for a while, so lower mileage is preferred.

This board will call you a lesbian
But Subarus are great cars though allegedly quality has gone down in last few years

Fantastic vehicles.

Wrong place to come if you are interested in Subaru, but they are fine vehicles. Not flashy, but solid.

rented one of those a few times in Seattle(I'm pretty sure that's the Washington state car,) not a bad ride, that lane nudger is a bit obnoxious but I think you can turn it off

Just bought a 2018 touring edition for $23K - with just under 45,000 miles
I’m getting 450 to 500 mikes a gas tank (I do outside sales and travel the whole state of AL)
I love this car, it is comfy, has all the bells and whistles and is also somewhat “anonymous” in that it does not look like a “rich man’s” car

I literally don’t know anything about them. Didn’t realize they were a gay car.
But I need a family vehicle that can possibly tow without breaking the bank. I have a 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe Ultimate, but it keeps having issues and is having a transmission issue the dealership hasn’t been able to diagnose. Subarus can be found for $25k-$30k with low mileage and towing capability.

Fantastic snowy climate vehicle

They're not in the Western part of the country.
You'll find many, owned by normal people, in mountain states.

That is another thing, lefties see the car and think I’m one of them (kind of helpful in my outside sales role) and conservative folks are easy for me to warm up to anyway, no matter what I am driving

Stepson has a Forester. Rock solid car so far (18 months old). I drove it once, and other than it being a tad small for my fat arse, I would give it serious consideration when my truck dies.

Smart move. A lifted f250 would probably get vandalized

I can't imagine driving anything other than a Subaru.
I would recommend getting one with a turbocharged motor if you care about acceleration. That means either a pre-2010 or post 2020 model in the Outback, unfortunately. Turbos are much more common in the Forester, I think.
If you're thinking about one with an automatic transmission, the Subaru CVTs are actually OK, but the old 4EAT and 5EAT units are superior. The 4EAT in particular is one of the longest-lasting automatic transmissions ever made.
If the stereo sucks too much for you, get the dealer-option under-seat subwoofer. I mail ordered one. Hell, get two of them if you want. The difference in sound quality with the sub installed is dramatic.

We have one and we love it. Upgraded from a Crosstrek a few months ago. They hold their value well and they’re very solid. The big thing is that if one tire blows out you gotta replace them all.

If your dead set on a sedan it’s not that bad, lesbianism aside. Impressive ground clearance for a car, 260 hp for the turbo, etc. Its really good in crappy conditions. You def could do worse.

I think a Subaru dealer will shave down a tire if you really want to replace just one.
