You know what the best car is for attracting women?

An airplane.

Nope it's smaller than an Outback. It's between the Impreza and the Outback in terms of size. The Tribeca is the biggest, and homeliest, of the Subaru range.

Interesting. So they made the outback bigger now then? My buddy has a mid-2000s Forrester and it was a full/compact SUV. I might have to go take a poke around the Subaru site.

Jeep is the more manly version of an SUV.

Only people I've heard say they wanted a Jeep were in possession of a vagina.

But if the OP wants to woo girls by taking them for mocha frappes with the top down, that would work.

I bought a BMW in my 20's to attract the chicks. It worked. Now I drive a cheap station wagon and I don't give a ####.

You know what the benefits of ANY car is? Being able to offer rides to friends. Being a designated driver isn't a bad thing either. The trick is to not take your car seriously. If you baby your car, the pool of potential significant others drops dramatically.

I treat my cars quite well, but I don't go out of my way to ensure it's beautiful and showy. I was a bit angry the first time I got keyed, now, I don't give a crap. It's a car, it takes me places, I have fun in it, I have memories of going on trips in it; but that's all secondary to the friends I enjoyed those things with.

Seriously, any car will do. Don't take it too seriously. A mud stain on the bottom of the trunk from hiking in dirt with a few good friends is more a badge of honor on the car than a pristine fabric trunk.

Buy it, love it and enjoy it.

There's also a difference between letting loose and thrashing your car and babying it though. Don't treat a car like a garbage can. Throw that garbage away. Clean spills when they happen asap and don't get all fussy if there's a stain. Give your car a rinse rather than allow it to look like it had a day at the mud spa (mainly for the rest of us who have to wipe your car with our shirts squeezing past it to get into our cars) and of course, please don't drive into curbs.

Of the three the Subaru is the best choice. Two of my sisters have Santa Fes, nice cars but I think they are targeted moreso towards women. Ditto the Rogue, and if it still has that terrible cvt avoid it like the plague.

As others said, consider looking at the Jeeps.

I like how this thread is 50% how to attract women, 50% car talk.

The Subaru is the only one of the three that will be worth any money used if you decide in a few years you have changed your mind. Generally the best residuals in the business while Hyundai and Nissan are average or below.

Sounds like the subaru is the clear winner for multiple reasons. Has the OP bought a vehicle yet?

Oh I absolutely got it and thought it was ridiculous, that being said I am sure he can 100% guarantee that it is factual.
