Have an Outback. Great in snow and is a great fit for short trip Bird hunting with a couple Dogs.
I have an Outback as well. Sure-footed, climbs like a mountain goat, gets great mileage. Pretty much lived out of it for 16 months while I was climbing mountains, ridin' my bicycles, and doing some pretty extreme trekking all over the Southwestern U.S., spent more nights under the stars than I did with a roof over my head during that time. Absolutely impressed with the vehicle in every way. It took me places and did things that the big 4-wheel drive trucks and SUV's that I'd been driving for the last 35 years would not (could not) do. Don't intend to be without one from now on. Doing the kind of stuff that I like to do, it's a perfect vehicle.
