Different strokes for different folks.
I went Corvette -> Jeep -> Subaru in my 40 year progression, with multiple models of each and a few Toyota's sprinkled in as well. It had more to do with where I lived, my marital status, and number of kids at the time than anything else. 165mph on the Autobahn was fun, as was 4 wheeling in the mountains and in the snow on the east coast, but I eventually grew up.
Currently, my 2018 Outback 3.6 is the best of anything I've ever owned. It has more power than some of the Corvettes I've owned, frequently chirps a tire or two pulling out of parking lots, and corners nice and flat thanks to the addition of a 19mm rear sway bar. It has close to the ground clearance of some of the Jeeps I've owned (I don't really have an interest in climbing up the side of mountains anymore), and has never failed to go through the deepest snow in the west coast mountains I live near now, regularly passing by numerous spun out tractor trailers and particularly Jeep Grand Cherokees buried in snow banks on the side of the highway (no offense to anyone, but I believe most Grand Cherokee owners have not done any "real" off-road driving and don't know the capabilities and limitations of their vehicles).
Most of all, the Outback is just the most comfortable to drive of anything I've ever owned (the EyeSight system and other technologies are great bonuses as well). As fast as the Corvette I had when I was stationed in Germany was, the Outback just effortlessly accelerates and wants to go 80mph on the highway without even thinking about it -- all the while getting gas mileage none of my other vehicles could even come close to unless they were coasting downhill.
