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.

I'm able to fit a 10'6" stand-up paddleboard inside and close the rear door. Also, this is a very pleasant car to drive; it handles well, get pretty good gas mileage and, so far, has been ultra reliable. It also has a reputation for being very safe and rugged and my experience has been borne out. I was in a minor fender bender, and my bumper held up really well. In addition, I have not experienced any signs of early wear or nuisance breakage (handles, knobs, buttons, etc.). The only money I've put into it is for normal routine scheduled maintenance, fuel, tires and such. My only regret is that I bought a... (more)
Story
I hauled myself and four other family members starting in Mammoth Lakes, up over the Sierras near Lee Vining for a day trip to Yosemite Natl. Park. We had plenty of room for a comfortable day trip.
Pros
Great price. Good handling. Good gas mileage.
Cons
I wouldn't mind a little more engine power. I wish it had Android Auto.
