Used Subaru Outback for Sale in Detroit, MI

The Subaru Outback 2.5I is a great station wagon for people on the go. It is roomy enough to tote kids - those with two legs, or those with four legs! The all wheel drive is very stable, and is very able to get you through all kinds of weather conditions - gravel, rain, or snow. The handling, with the right kind of tires, is generally excellent. The engine, while good for gas mileage, isn't very peppy if you're looking for a performance vehicle. A trade-off for mileage! The seats are very firm, but power driver seat, and heated front seat are standard trim - fantastic in cold weather! The passenger cabin could be roomier, it is definitely not for a tall family, or one with teenagers! The cloth interior is durable, and if you choose a dark interior color, hides stains well! The light tan - not at all. I highly recommend to avoid that color! If you're looking for a high performing sound system, this one isn't it. A CD player is standard, and the speakers are adequate, but a true audiophile isn't going to be excited about it! The engine has shown to be durable, until after 125000 or so, then head gasket issues seem to kick in. It's a known flaw in the engine, and I'm not sure why the engineers can't seem to stop it.

I have had this car for about 2 years now, and it is, far and away, the best car that I have ever owned. Since I live in the North, we can get some pretty brutal winters, but no matter what Mother Nature throws at me, the Outback can go right through it. I've replaced brakes, exhaust and the alternator. Even at fifteen years old, it's still in great shape. It has a few rust spots of course, but that's to be expected when you live in a place that salts the roads. Once, I used this car, to pull out a Honda of similar make. The torque was amazing. The Honda was hopelessly stuck, and the Subaru pulled it right out like it was nothing, It has a smooth ride, heated seats and mirrors, and an excellent sound system. Also, being a hatchback,, there's always plenty of room in the back for groceries. If you need to haul something larger, the back seats fold completely down flat, giving you nearly as much room as the flatbed of a truck. On a trip to a greenhouse, we managed to fit in 6 hanging basket, four flats of flowers, and ten individually potted plants.
