Honestly, her car will probably be a Subaru for this reason. Thinking a Forester since they are a bit larger and she needs the space for kids/horse tack/dogs/etc.
I highly value the ability to fix my own problems if I want to. Same reason I prioritize FOSS. I can fix issues myself.
Eventually I will probably be forced to move on, but my cars downfall will be rust and I estimate it has another decade at least before that happens.
- closeparen 8y agoSide note: my brother and I were raised in compact sedans. I don’t recall any issues. I get that with more kids, a third row would have been important, but the crossovers most people are buying (including the Forester) don’t have that. Can someone explain this “need space for kids” thing?
- pard68 8y agoFor us its width. My Legacy isn't wide enough for three car seats. A Forester is. A third row would be amazing, but Subaru doesn't make such a vehicle and Subaru is basically a requirement for me.

I've seen them on the street and they were not attractive.
- pard68 8y agoYeah, the Tribeca did not look nice at all. Wasn't aware it was a 3 row though. This new one looks pretty nice, and it confirms what I thought I had heard on the radio the other day about a 3 row Subie. See what the wife thinks...
