We drive a 1999 Subaru Forester. Plenty of git & go, 25-27 mpg highway, 22-25 mpg in town. We carry two brit boats, one in J-cradles, one in Mako saddles. Easy to solo load/unload either set up. Plenty of room for gear. Good sight lines. 70K and not a single mechanical hitch or repair. It's a stiffer frame than the Outback, slightly shorter length. Mostly we save gas because one of us works mostly at home and the other walks or bikes to work. Our other vehicle is a 1989 Toyota p/u with less than 80K miles.... -wjj *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
