Bought being the operative word. She has a 2005 Mazda 3 that my dad have her back in 2010.

The deal was, we each got a car when we turned of driving age...I got my 1986 Ram, she got a well cared for new manual hatch...

Anyhoo. She bought a 2019 Forester Sport lease return. She’s a couple years younger than me.

Neat choice. Assuming it doesn’t brick itself in the next two years.

I tried really hard to advocate for a CX5

Based on her taste, it was probably too subtle.

It wasn’t “off road” enough. Like... please you live in Vancouver

The red trim pieces that add no performance will certainly help with all the not-snow you guys get too

Good choice. The orange accents are actually not boring and not over the top. A great car in a segment I have no interest in.

I can't believe the things Subaru has done to the poor Forrester.

I need 9 inches of ground clearance and full time awd to drive to the store

I am jealous of the ground clearance, though. My car could bottom out over a pop tart

(RCR joke)

So should she start an oil consumption test now or wait a month?

H ad one just like that as a rental, same color even. Does hers have the funky orange interior accents? Those are a bit weird... It drove decent, honestly I liked it better than the new 2020 outback, except for the crazy lane keeping and auto collision avoidance systems...  The damn thing would hit the brakes and shut the engine off every time I’d pull into my spot at work about 2 feet from the wall so I’d have to restart the car and pull forward...

Not too bad

You’ll have to do a manual trans conversion on it for her

How else will she get to Whistler ?

Same way my dad took us when I was a kid: K-car Caravan

Can’t believe that’s back from a lease already? Who does such a short lease on a Forester?

New subaru’s are nice. I must say, those wheels just look too small for the car though . It looks like its on stilts lol

Well she could have done a lot worse...  like getting a Ford Ecosport.

“ It wasn’t “off road” enough. Like... please you live in Vancouver”

I dunno man... when I rode a bicycle though Vancouver and Stanley Park, I encountered roads with HILLS with curves AND BUMPS!!!

You totally need a Subaru for that, right? RIGHT???

:-p

That’s in Canadian Funds and is probably not a bad after-tax price for one of these.

Two years is short?  2019s came out in summer of 18, so the PO probably got it then.

That’s $22k in freedom covid dollars.
