I was planning on buy the forster or ascent.this year but was lucky to get my hands on a 2016 outback 3.6R. Yes an engine with a real timing change snd one of the last 6 cylinder engines made. From a family member 66k miles. Obviously highest trim. The only sucky thing about that year is all the high tech bugs aren't worked out. Screen freezing where you have to disconnect and reconnect the battery. Recall issues where steering column defect caused loss of control. Front strut issues (fixed of course) oh and the fact the cadylatix converters have to be changed like batteries if you don't clean them as often as a bleach blonde has her roots touched up. Should have been a Recall. Not covered. Fail at around 80k miles. And can kill the exhaust system. But it is a beast of a hatchback with 256hp and the fact that people are buying them for $20k in my area. I could have flipped it and bought new.. but having that V6 without compromising milage and the general toughness of it made it well worth keeping. I will be able to sell it for significantly more than what I paid for years to come snd it's engine is justbabout on par reliability wise as alot of Toyota (carry, corolla) lasting over 300k miles if loved well. Yes I'm bragging. Buying new cars is only good because thr fun of buying something new. Finding something used and getting a deal as well as reliability and specific features that aren't made much anymore is better. Did I mention I'm just here to brag? Who knows I might add a forester to the fleet too
