I knew there was something I was forgetting! The Outback and Forester are sweet! You won't need the AWD around town but for going skiing it could be handy!
I don't think I have terms strong enough to describe my love for my Forester. And my in-laws have an Outback they love, as does my sister in law, who routinely (i.e. at least 5 times per year) drives it to Utah and back. Subarus are significantly pricier than (the smaller) hondas and toyotas, and we couldn't afford one when we needed to actually pay for our second car. But I highly recommend them if you can afford one.
