Stick with an Outback or Forester.
Blah blah blah... he's young with a decent job and some disposable income. Why sell his soul so young to drive a frikking outback or forester which by the way, will also go through tires just as quickly since they're all AWD duh.

Premium gas is about 10-12 cents higher a gallon than mid-grade. Big whoop. what does that save you if you go through 1000 gallons of gas a year? (more gas than most people use in a year) 120 frikking dollars. Annually. WOW. Yes, by all means by that car that runs on regular.

Higher insurance? So maybe $1200 annually instead of $800. WOW.

Just 'cuz your life sucks, don't make his suck too LOL. Plenty of time to become old and boring, let him live a little before he has to drive a dork-mobile.
