Gerard, I really don't know why She wants to make the switch . The two subarus we have owned have been flawless . Personally I think she should stay with whats proven to serve her best. But then it's her choice and money.
I guess change for the sake of change /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
Junkman , The daughter has a Jetta TDI . It's a very nice car indeed .It gets incredible mileage ,and for a 1.9 litre engine has a lot of power . But the wife drives about 100 miles a day in All weather conditions and wants high mileage and aw/fw drive .
Thinking about it some more . Maybe that's why she wants the CRD. I drive a diesel Pick Up and own a diesel tractor , the daughter has a diesel car..... The wife feels left out /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif John
