2002 Subaru Outback review from North America
"Disappointing"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The dealer told me that I have a bad head gasket leaking oil at 39,000.
General comments?
I love my Subaru Outback Wagon, but now I am told it has a bad head gasket leaking oil.
The symptom was a bad smell when the heater was on.
I was wondering how many 2002 Outbacks have this problem. Subaru claims that it is uncommon.
