2000 Subaru Outback - Dependable AWD vehicle with good gas mileage

The vehicle has been a dependable AWD with good highway and inner city gasoline mileage. The car feels very roomy and my 6'3" husband can drive it comfortably. The head gasket is known to have problems around 100k - 150k miles, but getting this issue fixed when the time comes will allow for many more miles to be put on the car.

Story

We purchased a used china cabinet and since it wouldn't fit inside the vehicle due to the width, we strapped it to the roof while the prior owners watched us in shock. The cabinet made it home just fine without a single scratch on the glass.

Pros

Living in a big city means there is a potential for a lot of driving, so having a vehicle that gets good gas mileage and yet you can still take out on back roads for camping is fantastic. Larger items can be hauled inside the vehicle or even strapped to the roof rack.

Cons

The look of the station wagon reminds me of something my grandparents would drive. The head gasket issue will have to be fixed around 100k-150k miles.

2013 Subaru Outback - Love the outdoors?

The Subaru Outback is an extremely practical car. This is both a pro and a con. If you do a lot of driving, especially in harsh weather conditions, it would be hard to find a better car. It is comfortable, convenient, good gas mileage, reliable and great handling. However, it is not the sexiest car on the road, and that is something I knew when I purchased it. It came with a terrible paint job, in which I'm still expecting a recall for. They nailed the small features. Dog person. They created a dog fence that bolts into the car. All and all if you're looking for a safe practical car that you plan on driving in all weather conditions, then this is the car for you.

Story

The day I bought it, my wife, dog, and I took a road trip in it. It was in December. She was addressing Xmas cards in the car and dropped the sharpie on the seat. Sharpie stain. Then my dog crawled up from the back seat and crushed my full Starbucks coffee. Spilled coffee all over the seats. Day one of a brand new car, both front seats had huge stains.

Pros

Great gas mileage. Easy in and out. Great handling in wet and icy conditions. Has most of the up-to-date modern conveniences of a smart car.

Cons

Not the nicest car on the road. Can't tow heavy trailer loads. Terrible paint job.
