1996 Subaru Outback Legacy review from North America
"Great to own a Subaru"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
In 2007 I bought a 1996 Legacy Outback with 200,000 miles. Had a minor problem with a caliper that was sticking.
Regular oil changes and this baby will go far beyond 300,000 miles. There is no rust and the interior is worn, but very good considering the mileage.
I've never driven anything other than a Subaru. Every Subaru I've ever owned has gone beyond 250,000 miles. And the last one died because my husband met with a drunk driver. He lived because Subaru has an excellent safety record and he lived. Subaru vehicles are the best, and I love them.
General comments?
The car performs as needed, and is always reliable.
