1999 Subaru Outback review from North America
"Wonderful AWD Car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had wet weather problems with a sensor 2 years ago. Once it dried out the problem went away.
General comments?
Without either Yokohama Ice Guard or Bridgestone Blizzak Winterbiter, my 1999 Subaru Outback did poorly in snow and ice here in the Colorado Rockies. But once I installed the Blizzak or Yokohama clones of Blizzak tires, the car did fantastic in snow and ice. In fact unless the snow is 8 inches or more deep my Blizzak equipped Outback is better in snow than my 4WD Jeep Cherokee.
