re: Thoughts on a Subaru Outback?

The other concern is the aluminum unibody. There is a greater risk for the vehicle to be totaled from a collision. Since it’s a unibody, a collision can bend the undercarriage such that the entire unibody needs to be replaced and therefore the vehicle totaled. My son was rear ended in a somewhat minor to moderate collision and the.car was totaled since the undercarriage was bent due to the unibody. It would not have been totaled in other vehicle without a unibody

I am almost certain a Forester body is steel, but you are 100% correct that it's a unibody, and I think you make a valid point.
