Best car for NW driving conditions. Great! in snow

this car meets all our needs for NW driving conditions. There is a little more road noise than I like, but OK trade off for snowy driving.

Subies R Great

Love Subaru's all wheel drive system! Been a Subie owner for decades and will continue to be as long as they keep making quality cars.

I have found the best deal in my experience here

The car has more options and value than any I have test rode in the past for the money. The style and value exceeded my expectations and would recommend this dealer in the future.

need a new engine. no support from subaru

I loved my Subaru! I took impeccable care, getting serviced every 5,000 miles at dealership, and replacing parts as needed ( which wasn't cheap!). With this kind of care, I expected it to last at least 200,000 miles. What a shock when, at 115,000mi., #4 cyllander problem caused engine to fail. Subaru's answer: trash the car or spend $6-8,000 to put in new engine. No trade in value offered. Subaru, you let me down!! Your engine was a lemon, and you take no responsibility for it!

Exactly what we were looking for.

Its a Very comfortable car and gets great mileage. We enjoy all of the organizing compartments. There are many cupholders and 3 charge ports in the car which was very convenient. We could even puts the back seats down and comfortablely sleep in this car. My only complaints are there are no heater/A.c. vents in the back seats and the speaker system is lacking.

Just say no to CVT’s!!!

Why Subaru is installing these more and more (CVT) is mind boggling. They WILL fail not might. Buying a used Subaru is like playing hot potato with other owners- who gets nailed with dealing with CVT Bill. Over $5k just to buy one not installed - I got one off a wrecked car installed for $3800. Subaru’s knows these will fail. Don’t care though.

My best Subaru yet! I will miss her!

She has been a great car to drive in all conditions. I have maintained her well and have all documentation. Recently replaced tires and brakes. I am selling because I am retired and had an opportunity to buy a brand new Subaru Outback which will likely be my final car. I purchased her from a couple who only had 8000 miles on it and traded it in because they couldn't tow it with their new RV.
