Hi, I'm brand new to this board and I am thinking on getting a subaru outback. Not sure of what year..used one though. I was lookingfor info from current owners. Repair/maintance cost, driving (I'm in Wisconsin) in the elements, gas usage, manual vs auto trans, and what ever else you can tell me. I have been interested in them for a while. My hubby is trying to get me to get an accord. I am trying to build a case to convince him. For perspective the POS I drive now...94 cav. 5spd w/220k miles. I want the space too. Please help:-\ thanks
