Used Subaru Outback for Sale

It is a joke I suppose that Subaru owners love their cars, but this is my third Subaru and I do love my car. I had a 1995 Legacy wagon for 20 years before getting this one, a used 2008. I'd prefer buying a new car, but Subaru no longer makes normal station wagons. At least this old Outback is similar to the Legacy wagon. In some ways it is better - I've already benefited from the tire low air pressure warning light. The seats are more comfortable than those in the old Legacy - there is some lumbar support, for one thing, and better thigh support on each side.

We own a 2001 Subaru Outback that we purchased 3 years ago. We did so on recommendation from my mother who has owned two Subaru's previously. It has been a very dependable vehicle for me and my family. It has leather seats which are auto adjustable, which is a very welcome feature for myself as I have back pain from time to time. We absolutely love how it handles in snow and bad weather. Living in an area where we typically get snow and ice during the winter months, it has made getting around so much less stressful, which just wasn't the case with our cars previously. Regarding everything else about the vehicle, there are some things that we haven't been completely pleased with. This was purchased used, and is by no means a newer vehicle, so there have been some exhaust issues, and also some acceleration issues that we've dealt with. The radio on it is very nice though, with a built in CD player. We really enjoy the extra space it affords us to move things and especially on trips. It is very convenient to open that back door and you can just set things in the back of the vehicle right at an even height with you, no bending over like you would have to do with a regular car with a trunk. It gets decent mileage for a 6 cylinder vehicle, so there are no complaints there. The aspect we really love the most though goes back to how it handles in snow and winter weather. Literally one week after we bought it, we had over a foot of snow with drifts over three feet deep. Living in the country with a long driveway, I thought we'd be snowed in again for sure, like we usually would have been with our cars. I gave it a shot though, and it just plowed right through that snow as if I was driving in the summer. We really have come to enjoy it.

The vehicle is a 2006 Subaru Impreza. I like everything about this vehicle, starting with the appearance. It looks clean, sporty, and after 8 years still has the appearance of a newer car model. Easily the best thing about it is the all-wheel drive. Snowy winters, slippery roads, dirt roads, you name it - this car handles it better than most. Numerous times I was in situations that would've resulted in an accident in other cars - yet in the Subaru I was able to maintain complete safety. It has a sporty interior, and the hatchback feature ensures that anything you need to fit in your car - will. My fiancé and I take regular camping trips, and love the usability of this car to get off the main roads, carry all of our gear (and our dog), and be a great car overall to live out of. I love the feel of the manual transmission, and the car has great pickup! Brakes are smooth, acceleration is excellent and sensitive to the touch, and steering is a dream. I've never had any mechanical problems with this vehicle, and am sure I'll have it for another handful of years.
