Together, my wife and I have…
Together, my wife and I have owned seven Subaru vehicles. I owned two Outbacks for my clock repair business while I lived in New Jersey. The other five were all Legacy models. We love the Subaru brand and have convinced many others to purchase them. When we retired and moved to southeastern Florida, I sold my Outback privately (selling it for more than I expected I would) and we drove Legacy number four down from New Jersey and traded it in for Legacy number five. We got the top of the line Touring XT. We both love driving this car. The turbo makes it zippy, which is handy when you have to avoid crazy Florida drivers (how do they get their licenses?). It was with extreme disappointment that we learned of Subaru's intention to discontinue the Legacy. We don't have children and therefore no grandchildren that we have to ferry back and forth to their activities that they will grow tired of in a month or two. So, we don't need a wagon. The Legacy's trunk space is deceptively roomy and can fit all the stuff we need from groceries to beach chairs and a big umbrella. When we take our friends to dinner, which we do frequently, as we are spending our non-existing children and grandchildren's inheritance, everyone to a person remarks how spacious and comfortable the back seats are. One person even assumed it was a BMW(!) I don't want to have to drive a car that I don't consider fun, and I won't. I don't want our seventh Subaru to be our last, but I don't buy more car than I need. I consider Subaru to be the safest car brand out there, and safety is my number one concern. I didn't retire at 55 four years ago, just to eventually die in an inferior car. I have a lot of living to do and I was hoping to do so in a Subaru. We'll just have to see what Subaru comes up with. I hope I won't have to change brands!
