My next new car

[appalachiablue]

4. Subaru, 2 Foresters in the family

it's a great vehicle, very reliable and has a good reputation.

Purchased a 2012 Ford Escape trying to support American, but it rides like a bread truck with uncomfortable seats and tight front legroom, esp. after driving a Honda Pilot. Maybe it's been improved since then.

I know SUVs are out of favor, but with the intense traffic congestion in my area they seem sturdier and safer. I'm also used to the storage and passenger space in SUVs.

Good luck with your search Tom.
