How does the 2017 Legacy compare to the Accord, Camry, Fusion, and Sonata?

Everyone will let you add more, but comparing base models will help you figure out which vehicle really has the best value. Find out which car works for you!

Cookout for Dave Cookson

 

We want to thank Dave Cookson for his consistently outstanding work for us as a service writer. Despite all our best efforts to keep him here forever, Dave retired.

On Thursday, we had a cookout for him to visit with us and our guests one more time. There were lots of hugs, and almost as many goodbyes. Dave was quick to remind everyone that attended that he'll be back plenty; he owns a Subaru, after all, and will need it serviced.

Subaru Outback vs Audi allroad vs Volvo V60 vs Ford Edge

 

The Outback is a great vehicle with a devoted following, but Subaru isn't the only company making wagons, crossovers, or small SUV's. (What you call them depends on who you ask.) Every year there's a new crop of models from other companies to choose from. We put together a comparison of standard features available on the base models for the Subaru Outback, Audi allroad, Volvo V60, and Ford Edge.

"I want to thank you" from Down East Hospice Volunteers

 
A letter from Down East Hospice Volunteers surrounded by the other notes on our thank you board
 

Dear Mr. Patterson King:

I want to thank you personally for the very generous donation of your time and technical talents in support of our 25th Anniversary 10k/5k benefit race. Your many hours of help with Facebook and Pay Pal and more was invaluable. We are lucky, indeed, to have businesses near and far so willing to help us in this effort. The work you did with our two 'tech experts' helped us find new ways to meet expenses and make this important fundraiser a success. It is especially meaningful because our volunteers don't cover Hancock County, although…
