I have a 2016 Subaru…
I have a 2016 Subaru Forester and am so disappointed in the newer models for one reason - less cargo area. The latest model has 5 cu ft less space than mine in the back. Subaru seems to forget the meaning of utility in the Sport Utility Vehicles they make. I want to be able to go camping and take my dog and have passengers. With less space in the rear cargo area my opportunities would be less. Also, I wish Subaru (and other SUV makers) would move the dang shark fin to the front of the vehicle so I can back load a kayak or boat to the roof. The rails don't don't go back far enough to support rear racks that will accomodate putting a vessel up without scraping that darn shark fin! The J bars don't work for me, I live alone and can't lift the fishing kayak up on it's side. And the Outback is too wide for off-roading, and too short to hold my gear inside. I wish Subaru would go bcak to making a rectangle shaped SUV built for the outdoors.
