1998 Subaru Outback Limited review from North America
"Not sure I'll get another one-looking at the Honda Pilot"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I was told I had a blown head gasket in January of 2005.
Estimate around $2500.00, so I got a second opinion - nothing wrong.
I had the radiator flushed/filled and some other work for around $400.00.
The car is running hot again and has had 3 thermostats. Is that the problem? (Current mileage 163,000) At what stage do you give up and let it go?
