Timely thread for me, this one. Yep, mainly because I'm beginning to suffer from automotive restlessness, boredom if you will, with what I have. How lucky to have such a problem, though. The Subaru has been loyal and dependable but doesn't get driven a whole lot because I commute in a rag arse 2003 Impala provided by where I work. So the Forry has only 40,000 miles. But here's the thing: it's a 5-speed manual and I'm bone dog tired of shifting, partly because I'm 51 and partly because this town is chock full 'o stoplights and stop signs. Craving a luxury sedan 'specially after recently tasting one in the form of a Chrysler 300 base model rented for a short 1-way interstate jaunt. But homeownership and practicality dictate either a small SUV (CUV) or truck.
So, if the Forester gets the heave-ho it may be for a mid size truck. Heard something about redesign of the chevy colorado, might check that out when it's out if not already out.
But mainly it's being tired of a manual trans that's driving the urge to trade right now.
