Reliable and still viable at 280,000 kms. This 4-cylinder gets great fuel mileage both on the highway and in the city. The carrying capacity is fantastic; fitting a family of 5 and a 95 lb dog quite comfortably. Have maintained the car regularly and only had a minor air conditioner issue in year 7, that was easily fixed at a minimal cost. We expect to drive this vehicle for another 280,000 kms.

The 2003 Subaru Outback, 4-cylinder, is a great car to go "everywhere" in. It carries kids, cargo, friends and family comfortably, safely and reliably. It performs particularly well in heavy rain and snowy conditions. With just under 300,000 kms, it continues to run smoothly with nothing more than regular maintenance and repair. I am looking forward to my next 300,000 kms in it!
