Outback/Legacy
| | Model of the car: | Outback/Legacy | | | General comments: | My wife and I bought this car as a lease trade in. We paid $14,000 for it. The car had 48,000 miles on it, so it was a good deal. The only thing that it needed was new tires. There were papers in the glove box with the original leaser's name on them. We were able to contact her and ask about the car. She lives in the Detroit area. We asked her why she traded it in. She said that she liked the car and had no problems with it, she just traded it in as her lease was up and she got another one. My wife drives it back and forth to work and loves the car. She was apprehensive about getting a wagon at first as she drove a Mazda MX-6 which is a sporty type car but she gets a lot of compliments on the car.We live in Michigan and the winters can cause nasty driving situations to arrise at a moments notice. So even though the AWD system is seemless we still know it is at work. The place where we live has some very steep streets surounding it. There have been times where I have had to choose alternate routes to get home. We have one hill that is on about a 45 degree incline and it will get 5-10 inches of snow on it. Well the car climbs right up it. To give testamony to the AWD system, My Toyota 4Runner locked in to 4WD will climb the same hill but it will spin and slide to the right if the hill is real slick. The Outback just goes straight up. Very cool.I would recomend this car to anyone who drives in snow and ice. I always judge the value of things by weather or not I would make the same purchase choice. My wife and I have already talked about the next Subaru that we will by. So yes I would recommend this car. | | | What things have gone wrong with the car: | Cup Holder, Needs more Oomph! I hate the fact that Subaru does not import the WRX turbo that is available in Europe. | | | Previous car: | 2 Toyota 4Runners, a S-10 Blazer, a Toyota 4x4 truck. |
