After a ton of research my wife and I went car shopping yesterday and this 2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek followed us home. Drives like a keeper.
Got Some New Wheels

gas mileage?

Looks pretty sweet. I'm amazed at that color. There are about 5 of those around me, and 4 are that color. I thought I was just seeing the same car all the time, until I ran into it at impossible intervals, several times in the same trip

Great choice! I have a Subaru Outback (3 yrs now) and love it.

I like your new wheels, not so sure about the color, but that's just me.. it's a good looking vehicle.
I notice that car manufacturers are touting gas mileage in your range... I find it amusing there when I'm sure they could do better... I'm driving a 1996 Toyota Avalon with over 285,000 miles... since I bought the car in 2000, I've gotten between 28 city and 32 highway miles to the gallon... I still get close to that even at it's age.
Not putting your wheels down in any way... matter of fact, if I have to replace the Toyota, I'm leaning towards the Suburu line.

Ditto that. Like your new ride. My '05 Avalon with 110k miles gets similar mileage. I know they could do better.
Does that one have all wheel drive? Some Sub's do don't they?

Hmmm, maybe we should start a separate Avalong thread ... 
My daughter had a 2006 Avalon, and started driving her fiance's SUV when he bought a new car. My wife was ready for a "newer" car than her 99 Caravan, so we bought it. One of the nicest road cars we've driven. Took a road trip last summer to California and averaged 30 mpg for the trip. We get similar mileage to you other Avaloners (?) on average usage -- city and some highway.
Never pictured us driving a grandparent's car, but we are grandparents, so I guess it fits now! I also have a Honda Pilot, which is another great vehicle, especially now with all the snow we are getting.
But to the OP, our first AWD was a Subaru, and we loved it. I wish they would build a large SUV, although it looks like one of their models (Forester?) is pretty big.

You won't loose that one in the sea of white and beige cars that the general public is buying. Congrats.
