    +eleventy billion on getting a Subaru Outback.

    Ok, I have one. In terms of the combination of comfort, daily practicality, people moving, hauling, towing, inclement weather driving, and fuel economy, the Jeep just can't touch it. The Jeep does certain things better off road, has a higher view of the road, and has a gazillion aftermarket parts for it dating back to the stone age and going into the next millennia, but the average roadway citizen won't benefit much from these things.

    And yes, I tow the Mobius with it on occasion. Could easily handle whatever her "light trailer" is.
    2004 Mobius LS - hooked on footin'
    Former tow: 1986 Chaparral 178 XL, 90hp Merc
    First tow: 197x Glasspar Citation, 135hp Merc

    she will lose more on depreciation/resell on the Subaru than she will spend on gas for the Jeep.
