Used Subaru Outback for Sale

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.

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.

I have a 2013 Subaru Outback. I love the safety and comfort this car affords me. As far as styling goes, I have loved the station wagon-like design, since it's introduction into the marketplace. Over the years I have watched the design evolve and improve. Finally, it was time to replace our family car. I would accept nothing but the Outback. We can comfortably travel from the mountains to the city, and out of town with our two large dogs, and two children. There is room enough for the girls to feel as though they have their own space, and for the two of us to stretch our legs in the front at the same time. The seats are a perfect fit. I don't seem to get numb bottom syndrome, like I did in the Blazer. Our doggies do not hesitate to jump in the back whenever we open the hatch. That says a lot when you have a 15 year old dog who tends to be a bit picky. I do not have issues with blind spots, and am able to maneuver in and out of traffic with confidence. We have only taken it in for oil changes in the past year. The dealership staff is always friendly. I cannot emphasize enough the relief we have found with the savings in gas. The one performance incident, that stands out in my mind the most, took place on an extremely rainy day. I was on the interstate. Traffic was sketchy. Suddenly, a car hydroplaned in front of me; my adrenaline shot through the roof as I watched another vehicle collide with the freshly guardrail implanted one. I had only seconds to avoid becoming a party to the disaster. Wet roads and all, I was able to maintain control of our Outback. I am not sure I would have the same ability to claim a safe outcome, had I been driving another vehicle.
