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 9 hours ago Share Posted 9 hours ago 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 2 hours ago Author Share Posted 2 hours ago 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...
