[quote=Anonymous]What fits your life better? Both are very reliable brands.  Just my experience, but my Subarus have been more reliable, longer, than my Hondas. I agree with adding oil to Subarus but my Hondas always have the alternators go bad pretty early.  I have had issues with the TPMS in Hondas too.  I think the screen displays in newer Hondas are better. Especially blind spot notification.

In the young kid age group, I’d probably go with the Odyssey for convenience.  In the tween and teen kid age, I have gone with the Subaru.  But we hike, bike, kayak, and travel in the mountains fairly regularly.

The Subarus have a 5 speed “manual” option on the column rather than just gears 1 and 2, and this was a lifesaver driving up to Seven Springs in the snow.  My Legacy handled as well as a real stick shift in the snow on those curvy, hilly back roads.  It was the reason I got a Forester when looking for a new car.

Both brands regularly get high safety ratings in IIHS tests too.

I don’t really think “cool” in terms of cars. I would think of you as “smart” if you purchased either brand.  Especially if I thought you were taking safety in mind for your kids. [/quote]
