2001 Subaru Outback Legacy review from North America
"A quality product at a competitive price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
None.
General comments?
My family and I have owned a total of (5) Subaru Outbacks since 1980 and have found them to extremely good automobiles.
The first vehicle we drove for 196,000 miles and never had an engine, transmission or drivetrain problem. The only thing that did it in was rust which you can expect after driving sixteen (16) years in the Northeast.
The second one we drove for thirteen (13) years and 156,000 miles. Again the only factor that did it in was rust.
Living in western New York we have found these Outbacks to be reliable, safe, durable and economical to drive. Being a family of hunters we have on many occasions transported our gear and resultant big game without encountering any performance, space or transporting problems.
We currently have two Outbacks, a 2001 and 2005, and we love them both.
