I work in an environmental school. I bought a 2012 Subaru Forester to replace my 10 year old car. At first, I felt guilty and should have bought a Prius. After reading the safety and operating reviews, I've changed my mind, especially since my vehicle made it up a steep hill last week. I wish the gas mileage were better.
It's snowing again in upstate New York. Maybe we'll get a winter like we used to with the usual amount of snow and grey. The Subaru may have been a good choice afterall.
