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.

2008 Subaru Outback - I love this car.

Overall, it's a very solid car. I love the way it handles, and the AWD makes light off-roading no problem at all. I have owned the car for about a year now and it has never given me any problems at all. Every time I bring it in for an oil change, the mechanics say it looks fine and doesn't need any work.

Story

I took this car up to a 6000' mountain peak with 6" of snow on the ground (it had not yet been plowed). By the time I got to the top, the only other vehicles up there were pickup trucks. Which is a testament to the amazing handling and the AWD system.

Pros

The car handles great, and is a perfect car for really extreme winters. It gets pretty decent gas mileage for a car of its size. I also really like the engine noise (boxer engines sound great, in my opinion), although some may find it annoying.

Cons

The only thing I can really say negatively about it is that the paint on this car is very thin. I notice more and more light scratches that add up, and I never seem to understand what is causing them. Also there are minor rattles that develop over time that some people may find annoying. The interior itself is kind of dated and uninspired, but I bought the car for the handling and performance.
