Outback. It just is a bit taller. It is built on the Prieza
chassis. The Outback is not really built on a truck chassis.
It is just a lot beefier than the Forester. I originally had
considered buying a Forester because I had grown out of my Saturn.
After investigating, I learned that the Forester had almost the same
cubic space inside as the Saturn wagon. The Outback is much
larger. Both great cars, though.</SPAN></FONT></P>

60/40 fold-down rear seat is perfect for sliding in an action, and the

an oversized Subaru Outback, built on a car frame rather than a truck

off-road, it handles like a car...). Mileage is about 24mpg

was waiting to get fixed after the near-head-on incident, a friend
loaned me her Subaru Forester. I loved driving it (she was ready
to sell it to me, then changed her mind). It has a cover for the
storage section and places on the inside to attach bungee cords to hold
things in place--thread the cord through tool box handles and attach to
the car, or use a net type holder. I learned this from a friend
who learned the hard way that the stuff we haul goes flying in an
accident. The only problem is the Forester had less room and
I REALLY had to plan and pack carefully for service calls. It sure
would have been nice for hauling this D action around,
though. I'm trying to find that "perfect" vehicle for work
and family (that I can afford--ha!). Perhaps a Camry station
wagon. Who knows.</SPAN></FONT></P></DIV>
