Right, then...
So last week (or maybe the week before) I was looking to get a Sienna Limited as I recently had a shitty road trip with too much shit in the car for comfort.
I like the Sienna and it solves a lot of problems...but those problems occur - maybe - 2 to 3% of the time. The rest of the time, it’s just me. So, after calming down (and waiting a helluva long time for the auto buying service) I thought about it and have shifted to an Outback 3.6R Limited.
I figure, for the times I need to travel with a lot of shit, I can get an overhead rack (within reason) to create some space inside. I like the 3.6 as it can tow up to 3000 lbs, which is convenient as I’m also looking for a pop up tent trailer (which are well under 3000 lbs). MPG is not expected to be much different than the XC70.
My question is: What are the issues with the Outbacks? I know about oil usage and the head gasket issue (or not...I’ve also heard that’s not been an issue with the H-6).

The seats aren’t the most comfortable, at the ones on my mom’s 2016 aren’t. You can still fall asleep in them if you’re tired enough.
You can only get powered seats if you upgrade to leather, FYI. We would’ve gotten cloth but mom’s weak and old so we had to get powdered seats. Ended up throwing covers over them because we bring the dog with us.

Is an outback bigger inside than an xc70? (Ok, I checked, it looks like it’s nearly double the capacity inside.)
You could put stuff on the roof of the Volvo, too. Just sayin’...
