So you’ve retired from your career, and you’re looking to enjoy your old age in a car that can take you to all those sights you wanted to see when you were young and broke. Well, a Subaru is a good bet, as the brand’s go-anywhere, do-anything ethos is a natural fit for spending your golden years exploring. The only question is, which Subaru do you want?
As you might expect, there’s no perfect one-size-fits-all answer. Everyone will have their own preferences for things like styling, seat height, and cargo room. But the biggest criteria around which we’ll shape our recommendation will actually come from another source entirely: How you found yourself on Jalopnik Dot Com, the cars website. If you got here via search, that’s one set of recommendations; if you’re a regular reader, I’ve got an entirely different suggestion for the car you should spend your next decades in.
