Subaru Outback 2001Change

Purchased new in 2000. This is the best vehicle I have owned. It has 261,000 km. 2.5 liter engine, AWD. It has never failed me. Very reliable, does not burn oil or leak oil. Front drive axles replaced a year ago. Body has rust above rear wheels. Interior showing age. Front seats electrically heated. No problems with transmission, engine, cooling system. Dealer serviced for most of it's life.

Excellent, reliable all-season commuter. Never failed me in 14 years and is still going strong! With Subaru AWD I never had to worry about snowstorms or any other adverse weather conditions - I knew my Subaru would be able to get me to the office in the morning no matter what! With plenty of interior and cargo space the vehicle covered all of my family transportation needs - be it a daily commute to the office, a ski trip, grocery shopping or a move from one house to another, our Subaru Outback could accommodate it all perfectly.

Although it isn't the quickest or best looking car in the world, the Outback is highly capable. In the winter, when equipped with appropriate tires, no amount of snow or ice is an obstacle. Despite it's age, it started in the coldest days without any issues. The interior is dated, but functional. It has cost us very little in running costs and maintenance.

If you're looking for a reliable car that will haul just about anything from your kids to full-size shaker doors, and get you to the ski hill, look no further.

I've owned this car for 160000km, travelled across Canada with it and now live in the very extreme area of Ottawa where temperatures outside go from +40C to -30C, a very difficult environment for many cars. This car has performed very well with the only exception being gas mileage. Newer models have improved in this area and my next ride will definitely be a Subaru.
