2000 Subaru Outback LX review from North America
"Average for realiability"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The oxygen sensors went out twice on this car. Over heated, replaced the radiator and then the head gasket. Ran out of radiator fluid due to a hole in one of the hoses after the gasket was replaced.
General comments?
We have always heard that Subarus were reliable, but we are now wondering if that's really true. The head gasket was really expensive to fix.
