2000 Subaru Outback Limited review from North America
"Comfortable interior, don't trust mechanics of car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
CD Player broke the first week I bought it 60k.
Brakes have always seemed very unreliable, dealer claims that I need Subaru made brake pads. I had brake job done with another vendor at 90k. could need alignment, might help brakes.
90k replaced timing belt.
100k oil pump leaks.
106k transmission went out.
General comments?
Have always thought that two sunroofs was a dumb idea by Subaru, I wish it just had one large one.
Does anyone have idea what is reasonable to pay to rebuild transmission?
