Ravenwoods Posted October 22 Share Posted October 22 I'm thinking of getting an Outback XT in the 2005-2009 range. Any thoughts on these years? Any specific year I should avoid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtdash Posted November 11 Share Posted November 11 I'd be reading up on this generation. Any turbo'd Subaru is a gamble, IMHO. These had suspension, headlight bulb, along w/the turbo engine issues - Ringlands, VF40 turbo failures, etc. If you like to work on your cars - and can get parts in AK - they are a fun car...but maintenance intensive. They also had an HVAC/ICE/stereo integrated system so no easy HU upgrades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravenwoods Posted November 12 Author Share Posted November 12 I decided to not get a the XT based on turbo failures. Often when looking at an XT for sale the seller would say something about the turbo just replaced. Also I didn't want to buy expensive premium fuel. I got a 2009 Subaru Outback special edition with 95,000 miles on it instead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
