Slight rattle from cargo cover.
Brake disks need regular machining as they develop shudders (I live on a dirt road).
I love this car. It was at the pricey end of the SUV market, but the quality of finish and level of comfort made it worth it. Servicing proves to be a little expensive and the mileage isn't as good as I had expected due to the constant all-wheel drive.
Much more room and better finish than the Forrester, which is what made me buy this model.
I also have a 2000 outback wagon and the driver door power window switch went bad at 42000 miles, replacement cost for switch was 77.00 U>S>. My other complaint would have to be brake rotors. They are not good metal and I have found that after market rotors work much better and last longer. Over all I truly love the car and would buy another when the times comes.
