I realize I’m in a biased subreddit, but I’m weighing my options. I have a 2018 Subaru Outback I was planning to drive into the ground. It has 100k miles and I still owe $10k. My husband has fallen for the Toyota Rav4 Hybrid as we do A LOT of driving. We average 60+ miles a day on work days. Most of our driving now are on back road highways (45-60mph), but I’m about to start a new job that increases my overall driving and adds a lot of city miles. Does a hybrid even make sense for us? We loved the way it drove and the space (albeit slightly smaller than the current car) seems sufficient.

Ideally, I’d drive the Subaru until the wheels fall off, but the new job changes things and my husband is starting to worry about any upcoming CVT issues. If I buy the Rav, I’ll drive it til those wheels fall off instead lol.

Any opinions?
