2001 Subaru Outback LL.Bean Edition Wagon review from North America
"Excellent performer before the tires went wrong"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I only have one bad thing to say about my Subaru, fall apart Firestone Wilderness tires. At only just under 7000 miles I have developed bad belts in my Firestone Wilderness tires that have caused the vehicle to feel out of control, now I'm stuck with having to hassle with the tire company to replace them. This should not be my burden to have these defective tires replaced, besides I wouldn't want another set of these defective tires anyway. Looks like I'm out more money to put safe quality tires on my brand new car, thanks for the screwing Subaru. 31,000 dollar car with world renowned defective tires on it, I'm disgusted.
General comments?
Great car with lousy tires.
