CDs? ?What are those ?
My Forester has a CD player in it but it's no longer connected up. The radio it went to I replaced with one that had USB, headphone jack, sdcard slots and EQ.

Friends who visited a week ago tow around a new Ford SUV hybrid which seems to be nice.? They tow it behind a big RV that they travel half the year in.? They usually drop by in the spring but last year the RV was up in Oregon for maintenance and they spend their winters in the Phoenix area.? So they had to skip their usually travel through California to get up to Oregon for the RV which was ready in June.

They also drove a Forester the same vintage as mine but they they got their first RV found it couldn't be towed due to AWD so replaced it with a Honda SUV.

The one problem the Forester has is the driver side floor mats wear out too easily.? The design was poor to keep them locked down so I have to replace them with (much cheaper) mats found at Walmart that stay in place better.? The maintenance manager at the dealer said that those mats were the number one complaint from Subaru owners.

Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe. The Mirai is capable of driving up to 402 miles on a tank of hydrogen. YMMV.

"Water vapor is all that comes out of the Mirai's tailpipe and unlike a plug-in electric vehicle, the Mirai can be juiced with a tank of hydrogen in just a few minutes. In between fill ups, the Mirai delivers a premium experience, plenty of style, and a comfortable ride."

No electronic nanny will ever replace experience, we are honing skills, bitching about what it isn't is specifically what people who don't know typically do.

My first Subaru (1978 5 speed wagon) only had front wheel drive but it got me through blizzards and slick roads.? Subaru doesn't sell front wheel drive vehicles in the US anymore, just AWD (all wheel drive).? The 5 speed got great mileage and my 98 Forester not so much because AWD has a weighty axle to carry.? Subaru does sell a front wheel drive Impreza in Japan.
