I love my car, I love the golden color. It is comfortable, has 8 airbags. I feel safe driving it in the snow. It has a big trunk, I can have my dogs there comfortably. It does not go to the shop often but last time I had to change head gaskets and timing belt and the gaskets in the Subaru are a pain and expensive. Mainly it is a good family car and they go for a long time. I am hoping to have this one past the 200K miles.

This was my first Subaru and now I know what all the hype is about. While my car is pushing 20 years old, the former owners had met all the service intervals which kept it running like a champ. Mine is a manual transmission, 4-door hatchback. It has a good amount of power for a 4 cylinder and has never given me any problems *knocks on wood* despite having over 120,000 miles. My favorite thing about my car, other than its reliability, is that the hatchback has what I call a "couch" when I pop open the back. It basically converts nicely into comfy seating when I put pillows and blankets back there. Not to mention the seats fold down and 2 people could potentially car camp in it. I have taken it on many back/dirt roads, even driving it up mountains of 11,000 feet, and it has never acted up or so much as overheated. I would absolutely recommend Subarus to anyone looking for a used or new car.
