This car is one of the best cars I've ever driven in the snow or the mountains. Even in the iciest or blizzard like conditions, it won't budge. This is one tough vehicle. Even after ten years, there have only been a couple of big fixes on the car, the head gaskets were replaced, but that happens with all older Subarus. This car also can handle off-roading like a champ. I take it to the mountains all the time! I have a feeling I'm going to be driving this car for a while longer.

This car is a great value for the price. Solid performance, above average premium features, comfortable ride. All around a good vehicle. I have owned Subarus for a decade and this is the best of the bunch, but I probably would have said that about each of them. Consider that a testament to the continuing improvement Subaru is putting into their vehicles and production.
