Family had a 2000 Outback, bought with 150,000 miles on it. Owned it for 4 years, trasmission gave out (4EAT) at 272,xxx miles. Car went through two new drivers from start to license test, hit one tree, and 30,000 miles a year. Broke down at the dealer when picking up a new Forester, got $500 trade in on it.
Subaru AWD blows away Toyota, Ford, Nissan, Honda, Volvo and VW in all tests. Resale value is higher in Subaru too. Subaru is also a top rated IIHS safety pick.
Yes, I don't like SUVs and I don't like the Forester. My opinion doesn't detract from the fact that the new Forester is an excellent vehicle like any Subaru I can think of, and it is exactly what Subaru needed: a car that sheds some of its quirky image so that non Subaru people might want to buy a Subaru. I own 4 Subarus and like I said, I m replacing my old Forester with an Outback. Whle I loved the 03-08 Foresters, the 09 just doesn't move me.
I am a long time Forestr fan and I hate the new one, it looks like a Rav 4 and it isn't a wagon anymore, it's a SUV. I am buying a new Outback this week to replace my 4 year old Forester.
Subaru reliability is overrated and average at best, not to mention they are expensive to maintain. Kind of defeats the purpose of buying a car that is cheaper than most higher end cars in its class, but costs just as much to repair.
+voodazz Not as cheap to run or maintain as a Toyota and big services are quite expensive, at least in Australia. Not that reliable over a 10 or 15 year period.
I see what u mean but disagree. Even if u have to do a headgasket, if u compare that cost to what you’d have to put into say a 2005 Taurus/ explorer over 5 years.

Subaru isn’t just a car! It’s a lifestyle!
@tankedengine actually there was an outback on the sedan platform
I love all hhhwheel drive
We also have the six speed manual in the 3.0R
Dude thats what i want, i might have to buy one from out of country.
I had a Subaru once, but it cost like hell with new bearings and joints. Very plastic intreor! But it runs ok!
I've heard visibility is a nightmare in the Venza, is it truly as bad as I've heard?
I think venza is overpriced compare to the outback.
@tankedengine I saw a non-wagon outback yesterday. It was a four door.
Atmos that is the legacy.
Yep mistaken
outback sedans are nice
Wait, they made a turbo charged version AND MY MOM BOUGHT THE 4 CYLINDER
What the heck is this car!? this is way different and well uglier than the 2007-2009 models in NZ ?? why does wha.. why?
