Paddler
Subaru Crosstrek
it's got the most clearance of any Sub, has plenty of space for gear for two paddlers, and can go places that my Ford Ranger, frankly, could not. I've done some SEEERIOUS offroading and yes, while the vehicule is not meant for that purpose i have been able to access some areas I would have never thought possible with a car.
Frankly, best kayak haulin' mobile base camp i've ever owned. Pretty good on gas too, i am running at 8.8/100 combined, sitting on 68000 km. Keep in mind I actually have winter were i live, so they are more expensive to operate in the cold. if i were living on the west coast i think that figure would be closer to 8/100 combined.
Frankly, only a 4x4 pickup or overland type vehicule would be better suited to epic adventures. for all the rest plus the highway driving, i am sold on my Crosstrek.
