And if you have seen him drive, anything with 41K on it that still runs is pretty good. :)

My wife has a 2013 Subaru Legacy. It's been a good car so far but haven't had it long enough to give too much of a review. Lots of space inside, huge trunk, gets 28-30 mpg and AWD. It's a 6 speed too which makes it a little more fun to drive but she doesn't deal with a lot of traffic. They usually have some smoking deals on them too. The base model still comes with bluetooth, power windows, power locks, AC, etc. It's not your typical base model but the Legacy doesnt have the ground clearance of an Outback.
Suburus are over-rated. I drove two into the ground in under 150K, and two friends with Outbacks are having serious issues with theirs. I'd recommend a Toyota Camry or Honda Accord. Very hard cars to kill, and you can get 300K out of it.
I guess the lesson should be..."Don't ask gun guys for opinions on cars."
he needs room, the camry offers shit for storage or head room. Accord shadows the camry in like areas. Not to say they are not great vehicles. However We have 2 full size trucks and did as i posted before lots of research and test driving. Put HB and the family in a camry or accord. I wager we see a car for sale in the non-firearms forums within 6 months, if that.
