After selling my TRD Pro at a profit, I bought a 2022 Outback Wilderness. It was a very nice car and drove awesome. It was also the quirkiest car I've ever owned. The CVT was so annoying. I did a trip to Colorado in September shortly after buying it. It did amazingly well on and off road.
On a daily basis, the CVT was very quirky. The iPad sized screen was distracting and scratched easily. The ac controls are just a small space and frequently I missed the button I was trying to push. I hate the touchscreen. It was a love/hate relationship, but I was never truly happy and I missed the 4R. So on a whim I went to my dealership and there were 2 4R's on the lot. A silver Off Road and a nautical blue with beige Softex SR5 Premium. They were asking way more obviously for the silver one. Asking $54 for the SR5P. I said no way. I will buy it right now for $45K. They said no way. We haggled for about 5 times and we settled at $46K. They gave me $2K more than I paid for my Outback so I jumped on it. Nick is also proud to be back in a 4R.
I immediately had some buyers remorse with the color because it will show every scratch, but I didn't want to wait. In the sun is when the scratches will show, but it is what it is. I'm just glad to be back in a 4R.
Early plans for it:
**Tint tomorrow
**Ordered a Lockerdown Console safe
**Canvasback
