2002 Subaru Outback consumer reviews

Great car .Good handling great fuel economy.Superior product.Very fun to drive.Very comfortable.I would definitively recommend.

I got my 2002 Subaru Impreza Outback Wagon in 2003 when it was 1 year old. From the day I drove it off the lot (and it wouldn't start again when I stopped), I've had nothing but problems with it. The amount of money I've had to pour into this car to keep it functioning is unbelievable and once I can afford to get a new car, I will. EVERYTHING has had to be replaced long before it normally would: the clutch, the brakes, every filter, the belts... literally everything. And I've had a Toyota Corolla and Honda Accord before this car (both of which I loved and should've stuck with). I got the Subaru b/c I lived in Colorado at the time and many of my friends liked theirs. Talking with many mechanics over the years, they're always surprised to hear how much I hate my car. When I come back the next day, more than one had said they looked into it and it seems like this was just a bad year/model for Subaru. Just my luck. Regardless, I'll never get another Subaru.

I can't think of any negitives for this vehicle. I also have a 1996 Outback with 170k miles and it is still going strong. Wouldn't buy anything else for the money.
