My dad, who loooooved his 2007 Legacy when he bought it (and still does, really), is ready to trade it in... for a truck. AGAIN. There goes MY vision of him safely transporting my child. Ever.
Anyway, he offered tonight to give it to me if I wanted to trade him the Forester(2006).
The Forester, despite SAB for the rear seats, actually scored higher safety wise than the legacy wagon (sedan was stellar, wagon was only marginal, Forester is very good).
I HATE my Forester. I really, really hate it. I don't like his car that much, but I definitely like it better than mine. I THOUGHT it was safer, as well, but now not so convinced. WWYD? Seats install better in his, from my limited experience. There is WAY more passenger room in the back seat, and the cargo area is bigger. It's more fun to drive, and I can probably get a RF seat to fit better. Mine has more bells and whistles, and I'd be taking a hit financially (basically an even trace even though mine is worth a few grand more). And it would mean that I would be paying off a loan that is in his name versus in mine (which may be a good financial move, less burden on my credit which currently carries my house, all our credit cards, and both our cars). I'd have low profile tires (ick), and only one disc CD v six. And it's black on black... HOT in FL. Not that my dark dark blue is that much better.
WWYD??
