The car had many mechanical issues including a leaking power steering pump, a problem with the air conditioning compressor, and the hoses needed replacement. It had been worked on before but all of the rivets and bolts had not been replaced. It would have cost more money than it was worth after the purchase price and insurance was half the asking price per year.Sep 05, 2022

..thought I was reviewing a specific car in Indy.. I love the Outback model.. and the styling up until 2009 or 10 was sleek and very classy.. low center of gravity… and the interior space is excellent.. I’ve owned a 2000 and a 2001.. I’d take any year up until the became heavier and boxier..Jan 13, 2022
