Daughter's Outback has over 225 K miles on it. But it leaks oil and radiator fluid like a sumbitch. I added both when I was visiting.

Don't have a radiator issue yet, but ours burns oil pretty good. 115K on it right meow.
 
Wake Forest up to an early 14-0 lead over Wisconsin.....yikes.

So far housing is still affordable in my area. Just waiting for that to change, but hopefully it doesn't. This is also an area that purposely tries to lag behind with the times. It isn't a big destination area either, so that is also another factor.

Not a big destination area? Maybe you need to reconsider that whiffle ball game.

Yeah. I haven't had to put much money in either car, actually. Just had to put a new battery in the Mazda this weekend. Leaning towards the Outback for now, but there are a couple minor quibbles I have. The engine on the Outback burns about a quart or so of oil between changes. Also, the Bluetooth system in the Outback blows. The Mazda one is really nice.

One other thing I will be considering is that the Mazda might have less than half the mileage on it that the Outback has when we decide to get a new ride. Hopefully, the decision is more than a few years away.

What's wrong with the blue tooth?

Yeah people keep telling me to buy a condo.. I'm like, "no, they won't be sold for nearly what you paid for it and not many people want them." I get that "notion" that it is better to start off with a condo when it's your first time buying something but in the long run it truly isn't worth it.

I had a condo and I took an absolute fucking bath on it. Big time. As if buying a condo wasn't bad enough, when we moved, we built a house and I figured I'd get the condo sold during the four months they were building the house. Didn't work out like that. Took like 16 months to sell it, so I carried two mortgages for a full year. Ended up selling it for less than I bought it for just to get out from under it. After the down payment to build, and then the extra mortgage, it tapped out all my cash and I had to take out a loan to sell the condo.

Big, painful lessons were learned from that catastrophe. Don't buy a condo unless you plan to stay there for a LONG time, and never buy a house until after you sell the one you've got.

See that is exactly what I am afraid of! Stories just like this!

Two years ago I did look at some condos but the ones I could afford I would have to put in almost as much as I paid for it to fix it up. Sure one I think the HOA would have paid for the roof but my god it had about a 5 foot hole in it!

Wife has been eye-humping one of those since they came out. She wanted the Outback the last time we bought a car, now she wants more seating.

If I were to get a bigger SUV it would probably be a KIA Telluride

I received the more Christmas cards than anyone ever (81) in my neighborhood this year but somehow finished a distant 3rd for most admired bro. Frustrating.

@Flavortown Tebow is super jelly of your popularity, Bob.

just because they marketed to lesbians in the 90's. Besides, forrester is the lesbian car

I think Outbacks are nicer than Ford Escapes, Equinox, etc. I wouldn't drive any of the three though

I'm just busting balls.

Outbacks are pretty nice. A buddy of mine had a nice one back in the day. However, my mom got a new one a few years ago and she's had some significant issues with the engine that they can't seem to fix.

all brands have lemons, sucks if you end up with one.

my thing with Subaru is I don't like CVT's, but if I'm driving a crossover full time it already means I've given up on life, so why not get a CVT

On a somewhat related note, Mrs Redfoot's monthly cycle started this morning, so I can notch another successful month.
