2002 Subaru Outback review from North America
"Best I've owned in years!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Windshield wipers replaced.
General comments?
Excellent reliability.
Fair gas mileage relative to engine size and performance.
Handles competently; especially well on poor road surfaces and off-road when compared to others (even our Jeep Grand Cherokee).
Useful and well-conceived interior.
Engine noise tolerable at speed.
Wind noise worse than average.
