June 7, 2022 by Mary Moore Leave a Comment

Review: 2017 Subaru Outback 3.6 R Touring

Because motherhood is an adventure, too. Motherhood is quite an adventure in itself, isn’t it? Each day brings something new.

  You Will Want to Trade in Your Sedan. When our family needed a reliable vehicle with a good fuel economy for my husband’s daily commute, we ended up with a sedan. We were never really the sedan type. Our Camry’s 34mpg had been a lifesaver (and budget saver!) for many years, but I’ve found…

2021 Subaru Ascent Review

Can the small Subaru Ascent replace a do-it-all SUV? Two weeks before I got to drive this SUV, a friend of mine bought one to replace her Tahoe, which she’s used for years to haul her family of 6 around and to pull a small food truck trailer. My interest was piqued for sure. How…
