My wifey is a Subaru girl-- '96 Legacy sedan 5spd (fun car!), '98 Legacy wagon, '00 Outback wagon, now an '06 Tribeca.
Sold the sedan, bought the first wagon so we'd have room for kids and dogs.
Upgraded to the Outback because she always wanted an Outback. She's now had the Tribeca for 7.5 years and LOVES it.
They are extremely well-engineered cars. Just give them regular oil changes and enjoy them for years.
