Used 2000 Subaru Outback Base Wagon for SaleNationwide

Performance is peppy for a heavy car. Brake response is strong and stopping power is great. Handling is good, turn radius is what you'd expect from a car that size. Build quality is good. Materials are nice, hold up well. I think the styling is very nice. Cost of ownership is a little high. Parts aren't cheap and there are some chronic parts of subaru's that aren't a matter of if but when they will fail. Gas mileage isn't great but it is a heavy car with a 4 cylinder. Fun factor is great. I enjoy that I can take the car almost anywhere. Im not afraid to pull off the road anywhere or drive through a snow storm.

This car, purchased new, has required nothing more than regular maintenance during the last eight years. While the 4 cylinder is underpowered, it is reliable and handles well in snow and ice. With the optional pet gate, it is the ideal way to transport my two dogs to the park.

The AWD and versability are what makes this vehicle work for me.

Bought this car used in 2004. Guy i bought it from claimed that the motor was no good, but it ran and drove so i guessed it was fine. Purchased it for $300 and drove it home the same day. Then, once i drove it to work the next morning i noticed that it got slightly overheated. Drove it home, and checked Coolant level, checked Radiator Hose, but they were both fine. Took it to the dealer and they said it needed new Head Gaskets and new Water Pump. Paid $800 to get it fixed and i think it was worth it. Although the AWD Doesn't get used beacause i live in San Diego, it is still a nice car to own.

Good overall utility vehicle. AWD to move through snow and mud, has lots of room for people and it can hold much in the rear, especially if the seats are put down. Sort of like a small truck with a camper shell, but more utilitarian. Not a looker, but it is not intended to pick up women! 200K miles and still going, although I think i need a clutch now. 150 hp, heavy car, so it is not fast or powerful, but gets the job done. 27 mpg on the hwy.....
