    Subaru hatchbacks are great off road and have about the same capacity as most SUVs.

      100% agree. I’m a handyman and drive an outback. People are usually surprised when I open the hatch and it’s full of my tool boxes.

      Pretty low clearance but maybe we can get some beavers in there.

      I was being snarky originally but you could have a point there.

        You are literally the only reason they should exist. One does not need such a car in suburbs or cities.

          Just require a commercial license/insurance for vehicles that large (and up)

          You’ll have a lot less people who don’t need them

        The older (until 2003 ish) Impreza can hold a whole ass washer/dryer/oven/dishwasher in the back no issue then they made it too round. I remember helping someone move and they had a stupid “truck” but could not get the bed cover off so me and my snoopy looking car moved all the appliances (3 trips) while the “truck” moved boxes and flat furniture.

        Edit to add:

        If you want to have a better chance at offroad with a subaru invest in a good skidplate and if really needed they have a higher clearance model. I have been places in them that the brodozers get stuck in seconds.
