32" mudders on it the day I brought it up here. Did three complete 360s at 110 kmh and managed to bring her back under control without going into the ditch.
Had pizza cutters on it by the next Saturday... that M&S label is total shit :D

I drove that manual Subaru for a decade of winters and I have never seen nor driven a better winter car. There is still no substitute for thinking, feeling though. if you think that your drive train makes you somehow invincible, reality will pull you into he next ditch ... where you belong.




andyt andyt:
The CVT has it's own problems. People say it won't back up worth a damn, say you're stuck in snow, or trying to back up over a curb. Also, IMO, CVTs still have to prove themselves for durability, and repair costs, apparently, are astronomical.

Did you ever get the steering wheel shaking many people had with pre-13 OB's?

Looks like a good car, but I think they made it too big. The earlier model seemed like about the right size.


Yep, the MT works fine for me, and the 6 mt has been around forever and has the rep for being bulletproof. The CVT is probably fine, just newer and imho unproven yet.

No shakes. I bought a 2011 with a build date of May, 2011. From what I read when I ordered it, the "shakes" fix had been built in on the assembly line in March, 2011. Even then, it was a small percentage.

I don't think the 2010-2014 outbacks are particularly good looking cars. The earlier gen was far sleeker looking. But the newer ones are actually 1 inch shorter than the old ones, just wider, and with a stretched wheelbase, and it makes a big difference in interior seating and cargo--the new ones have the same interior space as a Ford Edge. Plus, the rear seating is real spacious compared to the older ones. I've got 2 grandkids and need it for car seats, booster, etc.

Let's face it--most Subies have never had the reputation for being real lookers, lol. They're just smartly designed--function over form. And for the money, at least in the US, they cant be beat.

The Pleiades marque on the front is a star map, so that the designers can find their ways home when they've finished.
