So im intersted in buying a subaru outback. im going to look at a 2005 outback legacy tomorrow, it has low milage, i think it was 32,000 about. Basically im wondering if subaru's end up with a lot of problems later on after a fews years, or if its exspensive to have work done on them? im hoping to get adive or an opinion. im really set on getting a subaru outback, i just dont know much about them. i would appriciate any knowledge, adivce, or opinions. in general ive never heard anything really bad about them but still need to know. please e-mail back if you want at bryanfromcali Hotmail.com or leave some comments. thanks!!!!

The blown rubber oil hose feeds the turbo lubrication on the 2005 outback 2.5xt. Heat degradation appears to be the factor.Mechanic and insurance adjuster felt it was a poor design in hot area. Anyone experienced similar problem?

I'm seriously thinking about replacing my 13 year old legacy with a new Outback (the old girl is still reliable, but wife wants something 'safer' with a panoply of airbags, so...)  I've got a few questions about the '09s which are trickling in to our local dealers. My impression is that they are basically identical to the '08s, but with standard VDC and a much nicer radio available in the sub-$30k models. Is that right? My other question had to do with VDC. I've owned several Legacies, none had VDC. In day-to-day driving situations, do you typically feel VDC working at all? or is it only if something goes horribly wrong when cornering? I've gotten sort of used to my Legacy's tail kicking out a bit in icy conditions, i assume VDC prevents those sorts of shenanigans? thanks!

Replying to: toyo_z (Aug 20, 2008 11:13 am) When I had my RWD 3 series sedan, I often noticed the stability control correcting a skid or other types of wheel slippage whether it be from slick ground or max performance. Now I have an AWD 3 series coupe and after 5 months I have yet to feel it engage. No bad weather but you can see it's less likely to be engaged in a full-time AWD vehicile. |
