    I bought one with every option available in the Geyser Blue. This vehicle has been the most satisfying vehicle purchase I’ve ever made. I have no disappointments and it has exceeded my expectations which has never happened before with buying a car or truck. My GMC Sierra had been close but not like the Subaru. I liked Honda but Subaru has really been much better satisfying. Plus the one I bought was actually made in Japan which I really like that I bought Japanese car actually made in Japan. Don’t think anybody would regret buying one of these

    @@joebuck4496 The head gasket issue has long been in the rear view mirror. Not that many years ago, Toyota had a very popular engine in hundreds of thousands of vehicles that burned oil at low mileage, yet Toyota is still the leader in perceived quality. Every manufacturer hits a bump in the road now and then.

    Thanks Sarah. I have a 2021 Gump Sports model. It is lifted and has all terrain Goodrich tires so it is very off-road capable. In a way, I kind of wish I'd waited a year for the Wilderness Edition for those added features but on the other hand I'm completely happy with the way my Gump is set up and how it handles in dirt, mud and snow. It's really amazing. I've taken it out on some pretty rogh excursions and so far it's never let me down. Plus it's my commuter vehicle to work every day and it does get decent gas mileage. I like the sunroof on the Sport which I didn't see on the Wilderness which is really nice on summer days when you want to ditch the A/C and feel the outside air. But ask you said, the Wilderness is definitely a fun and capable Subaru for those of us who like to drive off the pavement from time to time.

    Wow...what a cool video, Sarah. Lots of things to like. Sparks flying from your fingertips is one. The car, perched with the front wheel two feet off the ground is another. I also like the fact that you test all off-roaders on the same hill. With a rear locker and all terrain tires, this Subie would probably go everywhere. I want to see your video on walnut blasting, too. I have three cars with direct injection and want to see what goes on that process. Keep up the great work.

    Doubting that, unfortunately... more power, possibly with electric assistance... turbo it's possible... but not likely to be what you would think, if it sees a Turbo, it'll likely be a smaller displacement already in other countries, not our 2.4. The WRX is supposed to be Subarus last ICE only vehicle. Moving to Subaruized, Toyota Hybrid tech eventually leading to full EV.

    I just put some geolanders on my parents Ascent. They made a huge difference on the off-road capabilities. I was looking at going with a smaller rim for a fatter sidewall but Subaru has a large offset that is hard to find and you have to be careful of the brakes clipping the rim. Overall I still like Subaru.
