Goodbye Subaru Outback, the car that has taken us from Sydney to Melbourne, has taken us camping in the mountains and to the farm in SA. The car we bought when I was pregnant with Nathan because we needed something more comfortable than a WRX with tight suspension and barely enough clearance to drive over an egg (ok, it WAS fun to drive, but I found it pretty uncomfortable to be a passenger in). Oh, how well I remember how I thought the Outback was such a lemon until a decent Subaru service place finally fixed our issues. Oh, how I remember the dodgy Subaru service place accused us of sabotaging our car after our many visits to get things sorted our with our 3-month-old car. It was long ago forgiven for these issues and it served us well over the last 5 years.
But, times move on and now that we have a camper trailer, we needed a more capable car to tow it. So, goodbye Outback and hello Prado! Hello to our big, truck-like, diesel car (that is surprisingly slightly more fuel economical than the Outback). May it serve us well for the next episode of our lives.
