Tough Car - Great Value

This is my 6th Subaru and my 3rd new one. This is an excellent car. Comfortable, reliable, great in all kinds of weather. I have over 52 K miles on this in 3 years with no problems. Dealership is always accomadating. The leather, heated seats are a nice upgrade. I see no reason to switch to any other car.

Subaru is not always a reliable car

I have a 1999 Outback wagon. Ever since it reached 65K miles, I have nothing but problems. First was the alternator, then the coil, last week was the blinker and this week is the thermostat.

Just bought a used subie(30th year limited outback edition) a couple of months back. I have already put 4k miles in two months, just roaming in- state of colorado. Because of it's high ground clearance, I am able to take it onto dirt roads filled with snow which I wouldn't dare otherwise. Subie's vibration damping is good and body roll is largely contained during twisty turns on the mountains. I really like this car & just couldn't wait for the ski season.

Started driving Subaru vehicles in 1985. This is the 4th Subaru in our family (1985 SW, 1986 SW (son), 1999 Brighton SW, 2005 Imprezza SW (wife)). The 1999 Brighton has been a solid car; excellent handing and good in the snow with Michelin all-season tires. Only one mechanical problem -- at 77000 miles, the front viscous coupling failed. Dealer recommended replacement of the clutch at the same time. Hope to replace this car at some point with another Subaru; will probably will opt for a Forester or the cheapest Outback.

I got this car on ebay and love it. The only thing that bothered me are the rear headrest which created blind spots for me. After pulling over on a couple of angry motorist, I removed the headrest and solved the problem. Also, the engine does like to warm up before it performs at its best.
