Used Subaru Outback for Sale

It is a joke I suppose that Subaru owners love their cars, but this is my third Subaru and I do love my car. I had a 1995 Legacy wagon for 20 years before getting this one, a used 2008. I'd prefer buying a new car, but Subaru no longer makes normal station wagons. At least this old Outback is similar to the Legacy wagon. In some ways it is better - I've already benefited from the tire low air pressure warning light. The seats are more comfortable than those in the old Legacy - there is some lumbar support, for one thing, and better thigh support on each side.

We own a 2001 Subaru Outback that we purchased 3 years ago. We did so on recommendation from my mother who has owned two Subaru's previously. It has been a very dependable vehicle for me and my family. It has leather seats which are auto adjustable, which is a very welcome feature for myself as I have back pain from time to time. We absolutely love how it handles in snow and bad weather. Living in an area where we typically get snow and ice during the winter months, it has made getting around so much less stressful, which just wasn't the case with our cars previously. Regarding everything else about the vehicle, there are some things that we haven't been completely pleased with. This was purchased used, and is by no means a newer vehicle, so there have been some exhaust issues, and also some acceleration issues that we've dealt with. The radio on it is very nice though, with a built in CD player. We really enjoy the extra space it affords us to move things and especially on trips. It is very convenient to open that back door and you can just set things in the back of the vehicle right at an even height with you, no bending over like you would have to do with a regular car with a trunk. It gets decent mileage for a 6 cylinder vehicle, so there are no complaints there. The aspect we really love the most though goes back to how it handles in snow and winter weather. Literally one week after we bought it, we had over a foot of snow with drifts over three feet deep. Living in the country with a long driveway, I thought we'd be snowed in again for sure, like we usually would have been with our cars. I gave it a shot though, and it just plowed right through that snow as if I was driving in the summer. We really have come to enjoy it.

I like that the car is good in the snow. Where I live, we have a lot of snow and a lot of hills. In the Outback, we have never been stuck or had to worry that we would not get through some of these roads. The car is also a great family car. There is plenty of room for the car seat, and then some more room for packing luggage when we go on vacation. The ride is also very nice. It is smooth and relatively quiet. The seats are comfortable, and the controls are easy to find. The car also has good gas mileage, which is another good feature. It has a difficult time shifting automatically. The paddle shifters help in this regard, but the transmission then wants to downshift. It can be quite a battle to get the car into the right gear at times. The car is a sturdy and reliable car that I know will get me and my family safely to our destination.
