subaru newbie

Hi, I'm a somewhat reluctant Subaru owner. The vehicle was inherited from a snowy, hilly area up north, so the AWD made sense there. However, it's black and I swore I'd never get a black vehicle. I live in SE Missouri and in the summer it's HOT!

Have had Ford Taurus and Toyota Camry before, so you can see this is a change. Have some questions I'll post elsewhere.

TIA for any help. I'll be looking forward to reading about others experiences and seeing whether I can talk myself into being a Subaru fan. (grin) This past winter is almost doing the job, considering the unusual snow/ice we've had. (Come on Spring!)
