    Thanks! It's been a very enjoyable daily driver, especially compared to my old 2007 Forester.

    I prefer the plastic cladding because when lowered I think it looks better than a low Sportwagen. Be sure to check the headliner around the pillars for any signs of water. These pano's are notorious for leaking. I had mine serviced with fresh lubricant and I tested the drains before buying.

    Thanks for the headliner/pillar tip I'll def keep it in mind when looking.
    *I think what I should've said about the plastic trim is that I like it on the darker colors like yours but not as much on the lighter colors. II'd really to find a black one. I was going to just get one as a DD but I've been thinking of just getting rid of the Taco and going all in.

    Okay Atlas wheels (Prisma’s) and 235/45r18 tires on stock suspension doesn’t look bad at all.

    Same rims on my wife's Atlas. I'm jealous of the black/machined finish rims on her mom's 2020 Atlas awd

    I believe the rear passenger drain is clogged

    at least we’re up in the Catskills on vacation and it’s supposed to be nice a dry all week
