2005 Subaru Impreza Outback Sedan review from North America
"Send this piece of junk back to Japan to rust in peace in the scrapyard!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
New front brake rotors needed at just 10K! Developed head gasket leak at 12K. Transmission hard downshift at 35K. Seat covers are already wearing thru and seams cracking.
General comments?
This is my first Subaru and it will be my last one. Buying a Subaru was a mistake. Dealer Service is very inflexible and warranty support is very difficult to obtain unless you scream at them.
