Great wagon!

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.

We've only had this car for a short time, but already we can tell that it is built solidly. This car is unmatched going through snow. It's as good as my '98 Dakota 4x4. We also had two AWD Eagle Talons, and this car beats them in bad weather hands down. But with this being said, you must remember that the Talon's AWD was built for quick cornering and handling, not so much for the snow. The Subaru was made for rough terrain and bad weather. So if you want speed and torque, pass this car up. With only 165 hp what you see is what you get. This is a superior winter car and the heated leather seats are awesome. Plus it holds it's value well and for a sedan it looks pretty darn sporty too.

1999 Subaru Outback

The lower interior design rating is due to bad cupholders, and some of the controls, cruise control on/off master, fog lights, are hidden behind the steering wheel. Rides really well off road, drove total of 8 miles near Holy Jim Trail, orange County, CA. The 2.5 Liter has plenty of acceleration for my driving style. Some road noise at freeway speeds, but NOT too much. Clutch pedal seems to behave differently in LA traffic, maybe due to heat, (does not affect operation of vehicle). A little excessive body roll on turns. Car still handles VERY well despite the roll. I am 6 ft tall and it could use just a little more leg room. I love my Outback!

I am very pleased with the value per $ I have gotten out of my 99 Legacy GT. The interior seems very stylish luxurious but comfortable. The exterior has razor sharp classic line styling. The 2.5 litre flat 4-cylinder has a suprising amount of torque not present in other comparable 4-cylinder equiped cars. All I can say is All Wheel Drive = All We'll Drive
