1996 Subaru Outback review from North America

I had a reoccurring clutch problem. I had it replaced twice in the first year under warranty, no problems now.

The catalytic converter was replaced

at 120k miles.

I had to have the transmission rebuilt at 75k miles, probably my fault, I had to replace the transmission in my 2nd Subaru too.

There was a recall on the alternator which was replaced by Subaru and my rental car was covered by them as well.

My most recent problem was a spark plug that stripped out. My mechanic was able to re-thread the hole, at minimal cost.

This car even with the high mileage still looks and feels like new.

It's very tight and even though it's geared low and a bit underpowered at times with the manual transmission that's easily compensated for.

I'm not afraid to take it anywhere, handles great on any road or off road condition.

The amount of cargo and passenger space is more than enough to transport anything,
