They have attractive and unique styling features. And, they offer very good
mileage (21-31 MPG) on regular
gas. I bought a 2009 Legacy Outback, which is a crossover SUV/ Wagon for 30K, including tax and licensing fees. Mine's a fully loaded 5 door hatchback... with an enhanced speaker system plus satellite radio; leather seats, front and side air bags, tinted side windows, heating system inside the front seats; sunroof... etc.
