Subaru Outback, Forester or Rav4??

[Guerrero]

Now time to take stock if what i really need to carry in car:
current items below;
Jumper cables, Jump Pack, Tire plug kit, fix a flat, 12v inflator, fire extinguisher, blanket, basic tools, mag lite, first aid kit, tie down straps. All fit into one of those trunk organizer things.
Thoughts if it is too much??

Sounds about right. Maybe a couple bottles of water and energy bars.

Infotainment system is not that bad. Once i got it set up for preset stations, temperature and what i wanted to see it basically stays set. The heat and AC controls are on the bottom, touch and it brings up the main temp control screen. Overall, I don't adjust much, basically have it set up the same as in my truck and leave it, except to change to defrost. I haven't used the apple car play yet. The driver distraction thing is annoying, however can be helpful also.
Will report back to provide updates.

Depending on where you drive, tow strap?

Just ordered this https://www.amazon.com/JKCOVER-Inter...s%2C255&sr=8-6
I needed a small compartment for change, that is one of the things that does bug me about the outback.
The wireless charger is nice touch, works great.
Average MPG (18 miles to work) is ~26
I got the abyss blue pearl, so far in NC pollen doesn't show dirt that bad.
Ride is very smooth to me.
Overall positive so far.

update on 2021 Outback Limited: Been driving it daily, overall like it better than the truck i traded it for.
-Pros-
Easier to park than truck
much better on gas
quieter during driving
much easier to keep stuff dry in back
driver seat has much more adjustment than truck
Infotainment system not bad to use
driver recognition system has everything preset/recognizes me when i get in
rear storage area easier to reach stuff than in truck
rear seats more room/comfortable than truck

-Cons-
Driver seat is much more adjustable, find myself constantly playing around with it
not alot of storage cubbies
definately does not have the accelaration as the truck
wireless phone charger not super fast
