Seriously considering this model as it's better on gas than an Outback,
is certainly more saftey minded (two infants) and well, it's not
japanese. Is there any special considerations I should take into
account when shopping? Known troubles, things to look out for, repairs
I'd like to know should have/will need to be done...whatever comes to
mind would help.

Thank you,

Michael

Gas mileage is good on the highways. I drive in th GTA, 100KM
rount-trip from Aurora to Scarborough , and get 5 trips on a full tank
(48L).  Pure highway is about 25% better (Aurora - Toledo.)

If it's getting up to 135K or 140K, you're looking at the dread
plug-change servicing -- about 300-400 dollars up here.

Good drive (my wife now owns one as well and has decided that she's not
going to get a SAAB or Ford when her's gets replaced.)
