I have owned this car for nearly ten years and have not had any major mechanical problems with it. The car has nearly 175,000 miles on it currently and is still running strong. There have been some minor problems, but none have been very expensive to repair. The most expensive repair has been the air conditioning unit, which cost approximately $500 to repair. Another minor problem is the sun visor, which broke at the hinge. The repair specialist at Subaru said that it's a fairly common problem. That cost about $70 for a replacement.

I really love this car, it's an all around beast. It is fantastic on gas as it averages about 25 miles per gallon on the highway. It offers a smooth ride and looks very stylish with it's body contours. For the techie, it offers full Bluetooth connectivity so that you can stream your music through the vehicle's media center on the go. The seating is contoured and is very comfortable for long rides in the vehicle as well. The only downfall is that you have to be careful and keep an eye out for various warning lights that may come on due to the touchy all-terrain control of the Subaru models. It's very rare that this may occur, but it does happen and is something to pay attention to.
