Subaru Outback 2007Change

I've had this car for 5 1/2 years and found it very reliable. No major problems, although the few repairs have been rather expensive. More comfortable than my last car – a Volvo wagon. Really good in snow, without winter tires. Great heater. Excellent clearance for back roads. Lots of storage space, especially with one or both rear seat sections folded down. My only beef is the poor rear visibility that makes backing up difficult.

This car is amazing in the snow mated with the 5-spd manual transmission. Fun to drive, space to haul all kinds of stuff, decent on fuel. Great car and would buy it again in a heartbeat.

This is a car to love. Handles well, rides very comfortably, excellent in winter conditions. You can pack alot into this car, whether thats gear or kids or pets, and still feel quite spacious. I find this car more versatile than my husbands truck because I can do so much more with it. By putting down the seats, I have even hauled lumber successfully. Biking, camping, building or just a drive out the lake, this car has been a great friend.

Driven 144,000km before the first repair and even that was just a torn axle boot. Other than wear and tear items like brakes and tires, that's it. Been spectacular in the snow. Corners like its on rails. Pretty peppy for just a 4cyl engine. Have pulled a 1600lb trailer for six years with no problems at all.

I've driven many cars in my life. I've owned 3 Subaru vehicles and I am consistently impressed with the quality, the amazing 4x4 handling, and good service from dealers. Your into Audi for similar characteristics.

My Outback just clicked over 80,000 Km (that's 50,000 Miles for those of you living stateside). While the car's AWD system has proven very capable in winter conditions, I can think of no other reason to recommend this vehicle.

It's been reasonably reliable. At 70,000 Km it had to be towed to the dealer because the coil failed. The dealer was VERY familiar with this problem, which apparently afflicts many Subarus of this vintage. Go figure. That's been it's only break-down. But my main issue with the car is its ancient 4-speed automatic, which (thankfully) you won't find in the newer models. It's just plain awful, and ruins the enjoyment of an otherwise pleasant vehicle.

Overall, the car is competent and probably durable. But it is bland, bland, bland.

The all-wheel drive system Subaru uses is just amazing. Looks alright inside and out, nothing to flashy. Lots of room for transporting items and goods. Boxster engine pulls nice for a little 4 cylinder in a heavier wagon.
Can't beat the handling off-road and in the winter.
Don't use the tip-tronic, the car only wants to shift when its ready.
Great car!
