Hi Terry,
I seem to recollect, an article, in the Journal, about that very subject.
Best,
John

  Hi John,

  I always wonder about techs working in NY City - like Manhattan. Subway. Cabs. No personal vehicle. What do they put in their bag? Boy, you'd really have to be judicious!

    I still like my Dodge Minivan, long wheel base model.
    Being in a rural service area, I need the extra space to carry most things I need to do the job. 
    I have previously posted pictures, showing my setup.
    In a city setup, I can see where smaller and economical are a must.

      Cy,

      It actually is smaller and shorter than the Outback.  It just is a bit taller.  It is built on the Prieza chassis.  The Outback is not really built on a truck chassis.  It is just a lot beefier than the Forester.  I originally had considered buying a Forester because I had grown out of my Saturn.  After investigating, I learned that the Forester had almost the same cubic space inside as the Saturn wagon.  The Outback is much larger.  Both great cars, though.

      I love my 2001 Forester.  The 60/40 fold-down rear seat is perfect for sliding in an action, and the all-wheel drive will get you anywhere.  Handles great; it's kind of an oversized Subaru Outback, built on a car frame rather than a truck frame.  (The reviews say "On the road, it handles like a car; off-road, it handles like a car...).  Mileage is about 24mpg highway.

        I know what you mean, Terry, I worry about breaking something, also.  



        While my car was waiting to get fixed after the near-head-on incident, a friend loaned me her Subaru Forester.  I loved driving it (she was ready to sell it to me, then changed her mind).  It has a cover for the storage section and places on the inside to attach bungee cords to hold things in place--thread the cord through tool box handles and attach to the car, or use a net type holder.  I learned this from a friend who learned the hard way that the stuff we haul goes flying in an accident.  The only problem is the Forester had less room and I REALLY had to plan and pack carefully for service calls.  It sure would have been nice for hauling this D action around, though.   I'm trying to find that "perfect" vehicle for work and family (that I can afford--ha!).  Perhaps a Camry station wagon.  Who knows.
