2003 Subaru Outback Wagon review from North America
"A very smooth, capable wagon. Excellent value"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing at all.
General comments?
It's a wonderful, quiet, smooth, capable vehicle. It's excellent in the snow as well as light off-roading. It has plenty of room for our dog and camping gear, etc. The motor is extremely smooth and quiet.
For the negotiated price of the car there was not a better wagon out there. The Volvos and Passat wagons are way overpriced for what you get and when you configure them with the same options that come standard on the Outback (AWD, 6-cylinder, etc), they are at least $10k more expensive.
No complaints so far.
