October 28, 20178 yr Hi there...new to forum ❤️ Really love the look of 05 LL bean outback ... In white...sharp! But are the other years 06,7,8,9 good as well. That dreaded head gasket issue keeps rearing its ugly head Thanks to all... Not a rich woman, but looking at Subaru as my next car.
October 28, 20178 yr The LL Bean edition should have the 6 cylinder engine that isn't known to have head gasket problems.
October 28, 20178 yr The LL Bean edition should have the 6 cylinder engine that isn't known to have head gasket problems. Yep, on an '06 or older. The 6-cylinders generally need less maintenance, although they are more expensive to fix when something happens.... Starting in '07, even the LLBeans could be had in a 4-cyl. Basically all the 2.5s until about 2010 (depending on the model) have head gasket issues. I specifically looked for a 3.0l 6-cylinder car.
October 29, 20178 yr The 6cyl will probably need head gaskets around 250k miles, and are more expensive to put head gaskets on. Something to keep in mind if looking at a car with higher mileage.
