2000 Subaru Outback Reviews, Pricing & Specs

If you live in the mountains, in lots of snow or just need a super reliable vehicle, own a Subaru!!! It's commonly known that they last well over 300,000 miles and while the repairs can be expensive they are worth the investment for the future. They are not only super safe, really reliable, sporty and fun to drive, they are cars you can trust your teenager in as well as drive your newborn home knowing they may some day learn to drive that same vehicle.

the subaru is the best thing on the road, good gas, great get up and go, loads of cargo room, rides like a dream! Gets it in the snow too! Would not trade it for the world! The all wheel drive and breaking system is wonderful!

A good daily driver. Easy to drive conservatively, and good on gas, with an 18 gallon tank, it gives you quite a range. The automatic transmission is a bit slugish, but you can manually shift with 1,2,3 and D on the stick. Hold the road extremely well, and can drive quick around the corners if you push it. Only problem I've had with it was a leak from the sun roof, but was repaired in an afternoon.

Imagine a car with a multiple personality. This car is fast, it has a flat four boxer engine, giving it lots of torque and a great sound. It's spacious and comfortable. It's got all the toys - it even has heated wiper blades. The handling is very good for a wagon - four wheel drive and decent clearance means you can go where no man (in a wagon) has gone before. It's a Subaru, with legendary reliability. I've had this car for about a year and a half. It's got 106,000 miles and I'm expecting it to hit 200,000 before an uneconomic component failure. Oh - and it's not a volvo.

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.

ran like a champ for 280,000 HARD miles. I rode it hard and it took it and waited for more. Rallied it, jumped it clear 5 feet high, spun it, almost flipped it, drifted it. Awesome car! I hated to see her go, but I loved to watch her walk away.

Fun car to drive, good acceleration and braking. Not as sporty as the smaller sport version, but definitely more reliable. Roof rack very nice for strapping gear down. The fold down flat back seats make packing very easy and spare tire easy access.

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.

NOTE 1998 2gen model Not very fast, but nice engine noise from inside cabin (boxer) nice brake feel even though assisted with plenty of stopping power nice softish suspension and power steering, tends into understeer when pushed a bit of an exhaust rattle but only when push at low revs in the gear petrol consumption about rated 12.5l/100km should be 8-10 as a subie, maintainance will be expensive (boxer) can be fun as it's alright for a bit of off-roading and doesn't mind being pushed a bit on tarmac
