Congratulations! Is it a manual? My neighbor had a manual Forester (2013) and really liked it. But she had to get a minivan to accommodate her Irish Wolfhound--talk about a big dog!

(off-topic, but manual transmissions really put the driver in touch with driving, not just being on autopilot. You cannot eat a burger or text when you have to pay attention to actually driving--shifting gears. I'm delighted there are those here who appreciate manual transmissions. It also keeps many people from borrowing the car--another plus, as otherwise I would get requests to borrow my hatchback for this and that if it were auto. AND it makes it easier and cheaper to rent a car in Europe...just something to consider if anyone is curious about learning how)
