I like the back not being a trunk, and instead being a "wagon". It has two hidden compartments for jacks, emergency gear, etc. It performs well and has a lot of room for family. Decent gas mileage for the year it was built. All around perfect car if you want something that will last for a while, that is safe, and especially if you are carpooling people (family) around.

great car for all weather

I thought that the car looked really good, it has nice trim on the outside and a hood scoop. The car was very comfortable for me and rode nicely, even though it was a wagon it did not feel really long and big. The car did have some oil burning issues, I have heard many Subaru's have this problem so it was not a huge concern for me. The car was alright to drive, it felt weak on power sometimes and the transmission shifted kind of roughly, but I bought the car used so what can be expected. I felt it had very good control until I sun out in the rain which would not be expected from an all wheel drive car. The car was crashed into a guard rail going 45 mph. The vehicle went through the crash very well without injuring me. The passenger airbag was pretty large for the space and broke my windshield upon exit. I would recommend this car to anyone as it was pretty decent to drive, looked cool and got really good gas mileage.
