[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband is similar in size. I just bought a crosstrek and he loves it. It drives like a car but has good headroom. [/quote]

Avoid the Crosstrek.

Mine has been an absolute money-pit. Three wheel bearings and both front axles, all before 100K. And now at 105k, the transmission is starting to make noises, coincidentally right after the supplemental extended warranty for the transmission expired.

This is the first Subaru it ever owned, and it'll be the last. [/quote]
They just did a total redesign so I hope for the best![/quote]

Changing the sheetmetal outside doesn't change the parts underneath. All that stuff is the same. Otherwise, changing into different clothes would cure cancer.

Look at a parts catalog for replacement parts for virtually any line of cars made by the same manufacturer. They use the same parts in multiple models of cars over the years. Do you really think Subaru is going to design an entirely new wheel bearing or axleshaft for every new model they come out with? Uh, NO. [/quote]
It's a new engine and platform, maybe it will help. I did notice that the used models had excellent resale when I was looking so maybe you just got a dud.[/quote]
