Most Reliable Car I have Driven

This car drives very well especially in wintery conditions. The car also has blue tooth which can connect a phone or mp3 player for playing music.

Overheated from day 1

This car seemed to be in beautiful condition but it has been in the shop since we bought it and they have no intentions of fixing the problem. But it is roomy and had lots of head space.

Never plan to sell it.

Excellent car I’ve had for over 6 years now. I never intend to sell it. I have put so many miles on it without any issues and the AWD is excellent. Subaru even replaced the transmission after the warranty expired even though I hadn’t had any issues with it.

3.6 R drives like BMW 335

Its Japaneses BMW or Audi with less cost and more reliable. even in 5 years ownership of this vehicle is not drooping to half or less. like $38k coming to $25k. I have lots of BMW 328, 335,535 and audi A5. You love to drive more and more this Subaru. The only main issue I found is body is getting rusty so fast. this is a manufacture issue. they have to take more protection under paint coat . when the vehicle get rock chips, it will start rust from that point so fast.

Good Reliable Car

Bought it new in Oct 2011, fantastic in snow, I live in a hilly area of PA and still get 28 mpg local and 33 mpg on trips, only issue I had with it was had to replace front wheel bearing, which i did myself. Takata air bag issue was fixed promptly by dealer, very satisfied with car and dealer, Minooka Subaru Moosic PA.

Great solid ride

Great bang for the buck! Does everything you ask it to do without issues. Sun, rain or snow no match for this car. Going to purchase another but this with the 3.6 motor.

Great car

I recently traded for a newer car with less miles, but this was a very good car. I?m sure I will regret having sold my Subaru...

I LOVE MY NEW TO ME CAR

I had been searching for a car for 3 months and this was finally what I wanted and needed. I wanted something roomy in case I moved or wanted to drive with friends somewhere, something with great gas mileage for my 45minute commute, something not too old but used and reliable that I know I will have for several years, and lastly the technology is a huge plus!! I also love the sunroof and heated cloth seats because I?m not the biggest fan of a leather.
