I'm an avid outdoorsman and I've finally decided to switch over from a 19 year old Acura
and move to a Subaru and need some serious help. I have an acquaintance who goes to many
car auctions that only dealer can go to and is going to pick out a subaru for me after I tell him
exactly what I want.
I know I want an Outback Wagon, but I want to know what are the best
years and which options to choose which to avoid. Reliability is very important to me
because I plan to keep the car for a long time.
What are the best, most reliable years for outbacks, I heard the 1996 Outback with a 2.2 engine
is really great and also the post 2003's with 4 cyl engines are really solid. What other engine years
and models are solid?
Are there any subaru engines/years to avoid?
I would like an automatic transmission, what years should i look for?
Are the 6 cyl engines as reliable as the 4 cyl ones? How much better gas
mileage to the 4 cyl engines get compared to the 6 cyl engines?
I am 6ft 1inches, do any years have more headroom than others?
Are any model years safer for collisions than others?
Any options on the car I should avoid?
Thanks in advance for the help, it is sincerely appreciated!!!
