I owned my first Subaru…
I owned my first Subaru Forester a 2001 model. It was standard shift because we needed a flat tow vehicle while traveling in motor home. Subaru did not offer a tow vehicle wit an automatic transmission.
Our family would purchase a new Subaru but needs to be an automatic transmission since it would also be towed behind our motor home.
Subaru is missing the boat by not offering this option.
We currently tow a 2011 HONDA 4-wheel drive C-RV.
