The CrossTrek was a stripped down model and I missed those extras. The people in the backseat told me it was too small. I did like the new car smell.

Big Mistake on their part if they were trying to get you to trade up the old Subie. Should have put you in a new car as nice as yours you'd want to keep, not something to make you miss your old car... Duh.

I actually asked for the bigger Accent but gave me what was available. On the way home I realized how much I liked the nine year old Outback over a brand new CrossTrek. Mine is so much better to drive and just ride in.

Back in 1978 I bought a Subaru BRAT, (Bi-Drive, All, Terrain). I loved it. It was my mountain goat in Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia when I lived there.

My oldest Daughter graduated from High School and was going off to college and I offered to buy her a new car to drive at college. She said, "No Daddy, I couldn't afford the insurance, so I just want your BRAT."

So I gave it to her and bought a 1983 Ford Bronco which I still own today and it is my snow plow.
