2006 Subaru Impreza Outback Sport Special Edition 4dr Wagon AWD (2.5L 4cyl 4A)
9 of 9 people found this review helpful
I am very pleased with my 2006 Subaru Outback Sport. With the high cost of fuel these days I am glad to have a reliable car that gives better gas mileage, has sufficient room for passengers and cargo, very well designed folding seats, handles very well in tight turns, and can be relied on whatever weather you go through. This is my third Subaru since 2003 and I will recommend this vehicle to friends and family.

This is an update to my first submission on 9/12/2005. We have since acquired 116,000 trouble free miles on our 2006 2.5i M5 Impreza Wagon. There have been zero mechanical issues with the vehicle since purchased new. Fuel economy ranges from 28 - 32 mpg in mixed driving. Brake pads and rotors were changed twice once at 64k and once at 100k miles. Timing belt,battery,water pump, struts and springs replaced at 109k miles. Overall we have been very happy with our Subaru and intend to keep this vehicle for another 150k miles. We are so happy with Subaru's we bought an '08 for my wife and I inherited this car.

Bought it used with 48,000 miles. Had to replace the front axle and rear window (rear defroster wasn't working) but it was all covered by the dealership's extended warranty. I get about 28 mpg regularly, and it accelerates like crazy. The manual transmission is nice and crisp.
Absolutely Love this Car!

I have had this car for about 3 and a half years and it now has 55,611 miles on it. I must say that this car is a beast. I love how it handles, accelerates, and brakes. It works wonderfully in the NJ snowstorms and can launch to 60 in under 5 seconds. The mileage is ok, but that's what you get for a turbocharged vehicle. I get about 18MPG all around on 93 Octane (Shell V-Power). I have driven this car around the country and have never doubted its reliability once. It has never left me stuck and has always brought me to point B safely. I recommend this car to everybody who enjoys a 5SPD and whiplash inducing thrust.
solid car, & my wife went to the dealer from Hell

2006 Subie Imprezza wagon 2.5 base model. Fourteen trouble-free years (!!) as our 'cottage' car (mainly summer only). Then my wife had an intermittent starting issue while I was still in the city. Local garage was ready to order a starter but the symptoms sounded odd so I said take it to the only nearby dealer (in 50 miles). Was ignition switch (a known Subie issue), $500. So far so good. Then coming off the highway crankshaft pulley came apart. Towed to dealer. Another $500. Wife asked dealer to do timing belt same time, they did, but declined her request to do water pump, saying "they last a long time." ??? $800. Few weeks later, tranny overheat light comes on. Back to dealer. Dealer says both rad and tranny are "low" but they cannot find the leaks. They "guess" a tranny leak in the rad (???) and "guess" early head gasket failure (??) and say "car is not worth fixing." Local garage has a Subie-trained mechanic who spends an hour on the car and concludes the dealer forgot to "burp" the engine coolant and properly refill tranny after prior repair. Almost lost a great car.
