thass eazay...get the subaru.
that is of course an opinion...subarus sell very well in anchorage due to their reliabilty and winter performance.
the outback wagon may still suffer from suv price syndrome...also consider the legacy, not only for price but it's a little lower riding than the outback, may be a little more comfortable for your ma.
my folks have driven subarus (4wd legacys) for years, also many friends (they are very popular with xc skiers especially, and for a while sponsored the team...may still, i dunno), and there are many of the venerable 4wd GLs from the early 80s still in service.
