2001 subaru outback manual
By Bobbo | on 7/18/2026 2:25:13 PM
Great Car! Bought with 160,000 miles and drove it to 359,000, bushings will need to be done at 275,000, new timing belt every 105,000 I've had to put 2 of them on this vehicle. Wheel Bearings will get louder at around 275,000. It's interesting, a timing belt was only $400.00 in 2019, then in 2024 i paid $1200.00 for the exact same service!… - 5.0
I love this Subaru!
By Best car ever | on 11/9/2025 7:10:25 PM
This is the best car I have ever owned. I have had 5 Subie in past 35 years! They are amazing beasts! I wish I could get a brand new one just like it. Not too happy with my newer 2018 sub forester. Too much going wrong with electronics!!! Feeling power living out in middle of nowhere and needing specialty mechanics. Let’s go back in time please!… - 5.0
Has been a great car!
By julicord | on 2/18/2022 11:28:08 PM
The car has been super reliable. We have put repairs into it... cv joints, replaced the turbo charger and power steering pump. Have kept up with regular oil changes and scheduled belt and hose replacements. Drives like a Cadillac! Love this car!…
