I've joined because I live in a rural part of Wales and am looking for an AWD estate car with decent ground clearance. I've narrowed it down to either a XC70 with D5 engine or Subaru outback with the H6 engine. I've got some questions about gearbox reliability (manual Vs auto) and general issues that may occur but before I ask questions that others already have is there somewhere I can read up about this? Thanks.
