Anyone have any experience with these for, say, model years 1997-1999? I've been advised against them on a Subaru owners forum, but possibly because no-one there could understand why I'd be looking for such an old car. So I figured I'd ask a Mustachian, for whom such a purchase is more normal.
Alternatively, what other car could hold 5 grownups, a couple of kayaks, four bikes, and enough camping gear for a week? SUVs need not apply.
