2000 Subaru Outback GX review from Australia and New Zealand
"Great car - would buy another in a flash"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Slight rattle from cargo cover.
Brake disks need regular machining as they develop shudders (I live on a dirt road).
General comments?
I love this car. It was at the pricey end of the SUV market, but the quality of finish and level of comfort made it worth it. Servicing proves to be a little expensive and the mileage isn't as good as I had expected due to the constant all-wheel drive.
Much more room and better finish than the Forrester, which is what made me buy this model.
