1999 Subaru Impreza Outback Sport review from North America
"The best AWD value, reliable in winter conditions and fun on dry pavement"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
No repairs required yet, predicted reliability is very high for Subaru.
General comments?
Car purchased for its AWD feature and driving snowy New England country back roads. Performs well. Sensitive anti-lock feature kicks in often on winter roads.
Excellent, quick handling on dry roads. Fun to drive!
Seats are very uncomfortable. I use a padded seat cover. Non adjustable lumbar, low seating position, not enough leg room for 5'11" male.
