2016 Subaru Outback 2.5i Limited

When your car is in and out of the dealership for repairs you end up with a lot of dealership rentals. As I own a Subaru this means a lot of Subaru rentals. I have a wind noise / door seal issue that should soon hopefully be resolved. This last time around I was given a 2016 Subaru Outback 2.5i Limited for the day.

I have previously reviewed the Subaru Outback.

Moving with 2015 Ford E-350 16' Truck

Last in the current large vehicles related to moving series.

Unfortunately no snubbed or slanting nose here so visibility over the front was rather limited and it was rather hard to tell where the passenger side of the vehicle was from the driver's seat.

2003 Dodge RAM 1500 4x4 SLT

A first for me. This is certainly the first pickup truck I have reviewed and quite possibly the first that I have driven. If I recall correctly all that I have driven in the truck / van category is moving vans and moving trucks.

Cagalli Yula, Line-X of Cumberland County, Krown Rust Proofing

Krown provides a rust proofing treatment that is applied annually. The reviews on it are very good, they have been in a business for a long time, if it is something you are interested in it is worth looking up. I use it on my daily driven Subaru BRZ because I would like the chassis and body to last a good long time rust free.

If you get the car treated early enough, i.e. within 6 months of purchase, Krown will guarantee the car to be rust free for life.

Cagalli Yula (Subaru BRZ), ProClip Angled Mount & Adjustable Holder Install and Review

Waze is a wonderful application for navigation, knowing where traffic, accidents, and knowing where cops are. My wife and I use it a lot on road trips. But, being cell phone based it is negligent to use when it is not mounted somewhere that allows you to keep your eyes on the road. To this end I installed a cell phone holder.

In terms of places to put a phone the (more or less) stock interior of a BRZ does not have a lot of good places to put a phone and see the screen while looking out the windshield.

2016 Subaru Legacy 2.5i

My BRZ was in the dealer for some warranty service regarding the door seal so I got a rental from the dealership, a 2016 Subaru Legacy 2.5i.

The car is styled in an any car style. As opposed to the older Subaru's which were more distinguished if also more polarizing. Gone is the aviator style grill.

Test Drive, 2013+ Ford Transit 250

Sometimes owning small cars you need to rent larger cars. This is especially true when you are moving a significant amount of your possessions into storage.

And the van holds a lot of stuff quite well.

Test Drive, 2016 Subaru Forester 2.5i

Got a 2016 Subaru Forester as a dealership loaner as my 2014 BRZ is having some driver side wind noise issues following that crash and repair so many months ago.

So I got to drive a 2016 Forester for around 45-50 miles.

Cagalli Yula (Subaru BRZ), On-Site Detail, Ultimate Detail

I had the car detailed by On-Site Detailing.
James Church took care of the detailing for me and was both very quick and extremely thorough and did a great job. I would use them again.

My wife took the car on a trip and parked it in a rather wet and muddy place.

From a British perspective...

I love driving; ever since I passed my test I've enjoyed the freedom it brings, the feeling of being in control of such an amazing piece of engineering. My first car was a very well-worn Vauxhall Corsa, previously driven by my mum and my older brother and now in my younger sister's possession. However, I was always on the lookout for something more. My dream car was an Audi TT, but I presumed with my budget it would be far too costly both to buy and to insure.

With the gorgeous Betty on the day I bought her...
