Well, I was ready to buy the wagon after a requisite round of negotiating but my wife has since nix'ed it. Her current car is a 2000 manual Outback with cloth seats and the XT would've replaced it. However, we have a new baby and she's afraid of spoiling a new car's leather seats with baby formula, etc. while she's comfortable messing up her existing Outback. I've since opted for doing a major service update to her Outback along with new tires and brakes for the upcoming winter. Now had the XT had been for me it most likely would've been purchased!

Leather cleans up well, and the new Outbacks do better in IIHS crash tests. Just something to balance the pros and cons, if you're trying to talk her into it.

I know it's safer, especially with VDC. But she's says let's wait a bit.

We're having twins in two weeks and I bought the XT in leather specifically for safety and easy-to-clean reasons. (Performance remained an off-balance sheet item, although my wife enjoys the "vroom" when she accelerates up on-ramps at highway speeds.) Will also be buying a Thule cargo container once overnight trips become a reality.
Of course, buying a car is a two-person decision and you're better off waiting until you both agree on the purchase.

Would you mind sharing how much you paid for the car. Was it a stick or auto. Thanks!

If you are set on an all-season tire, then the Tripletred is a good tire for rain/ice/snow (plus it has a tremendous treadwear warranty of 80,000 miles). The down side is that you loose some fuel economy due to the agressive tread pattern. I estimate about 5-10% decrease.
Although the investment is greater up front, replacing the tires with a summer or dry/wet biased all-season tire and getting an additional set of mounted winter tires would extend the life of both sets and provide for improved winter handling (assuming your son plans to keep the car long enough to use both sets significantly).
