I liked a new one about 5 years ago on a short test drive, but on an hour long test drive with my wife we couldn't wait to get out of the car. The ride was jiggly and the seats were painful. We couldn't imagine being in one for some of our summer vacation trips.
We bought a CPO 9-5 instead. Maybe the new Subies are better.
I want to like Subies, but can't get over some of the shortcomings. But they do hold up well, have great AWD and are good cars. It's just that if you're used to something with better build quality and better fuel economy Subies are a letdown. Go look at some used ones to see how they look 5-10 years down the road.
For a small sport ute I'd go look at an Escape, even though it lacks a manual tranny. Ford is making some excellent cars these days. And you can get them fixed anywhere.
