This is an awesome car. I'm the second owner, and I've had it since it had 10,000 miles on it. I bought it in Bozeman, Montana, and drove it out there, so these are mostly highway miles. The car has been faithfully maintained, and hasn't caused any problems for me. I have the records on hand here, and I'll buy the car fax for you if you have any doubts.

Specifics:
2006 Subaru X 4D
4 cylinder engine, 2.5 ltr
AWD, 4 speed automatic, ABS
AM/FM/WX radio/CD player
Air conditioning, power doors & windows, alarm, cruise control
Flush mount roof rack
Tow package

Included with this car is an equally awesome, unobtrusive class 2 trailer hitch (pictured) with two separate ball mounts at 1.5 and 2", respectively, and a pair of Thule 440 roof rack rails (not pictured) with keyed locks. You also get a set of all-season Firestone tires that are less than a year old. There are spare headlamps in the glove box. There is a permanent K&N air filter installed that won't need to be cleaned for another 30,000 miles unless you drive through a sandstorm every day.

The only things wrong with this car are that the driver's power door lock servo is out and the rear cup holder is broken. These are both inexpensive fixes. The key and both fobs work perfectly.

This car is better than advertised in the snow. Six years of driving in the Gallatin Valley, and the high country in Montana, where it snows in piles and sometimes in June have vetted this car and proven that it is badass.

Now that I live in the PNW, I don't drive in the snow anymore, but if you're reading this, I know you do. You cannot go wrong here. This car laughs at snow depths that stop this city in its tracks. Be the one who shows up to work on time wondering what the big deal is.

Once your deposit (cash or cashier's check) clears my account, I sign the title to you and then the motoring greatness begins.

Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.

Subaru Levorg Concept has us dreaming about a WRX wagon

Wed, 20 Nov 2013

We're not sure what got in the water supply of Subaru's Tokyo Motor Show team, but we like the results. After checking out the Cross Sport Design Concept, which we would love to see as a BRZ shooting brake, Subaru took the wraps off its Levorg Concept. Naming convention aside, the idea of a sport-tuned wagon with a boxer engine is music to our ears.
The design language fits in with recent Subaru products, and the Levorg's face is very similar to the 2015 WRX that was just unveiled across the Pacific Ocean at the LA Auto Show. In terms of its size, though, this concept is roughly the same as the current Outback, only it sits about five inches lower. Power comes from either of a pair of boxer engines: a fuel-efficient 1.6-liter or a 296-horsepower, 2.0-liter. Both engines would be paired to Subaru's Symmetrical all-wheel-drive system.
Subaru says that the Levorg is a thinly veiled version of the production sports tourer that will go on sale (likely in Japan and/or Europe) next spring. Could this mean we could soon see a sporty Legacy wagon in the US? We can only hope. More details about the Levorg are posted in the press release found below.

Zipcar adds roof racks for nature loving urbanites

Wed, Aug 17 2016

Hauling a bicycle, surfboard, snowboard, or a pair of skis can be a pain. Their size makes them awkward to carry, and a good roof rack can be expensive and cumbersome to install. If a thief decides that they need the rack (or what's on it) more than you, you're looking at a loss of several hundred dollars, or at the very least damage to your car a comprehensive insurance claim. Ask me how I know. Zipcar has the solution. The car sharing company has teamed up with rack and cargo manufacturer Yakima to supply roof rack equipped rentals in 17 North American markets. In the US, Zipcar customers will have the option between a Subaru Impreza or a Subaru XV Crosstrek equipped with a Yakima roof rack. Canadian customers can rent a Hyundai Elantra. Fine choices, but it seems like a missed opportunity to revive the old Volkswagen Jetta Trek edition. The Yakima mounts on the cars are adjustable and can hold two bikes, six skis or four snowboards, or two surfboards or paddleboards. Rates, as always, vary based on use. This isn't the first time Zipcar has offered Yakima bike racks for their vehicles for those outdoor enthusiasts that choose to live car free. Back in 2011, the company outfitted a number of vehicles in its New York City fleet with complimentary racks and New York State park passes.
