Outback 2.5L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 119,000 miles

I have owned some form of Subaru since I was 16 yrs. old and I am now 62. and this 2007 is the absolute worse Subaru. Just recently I had the rear bushing and arm replaced. But I have also had valve seals replaced, upper an lower bearings replaced SEVERAL times. front axles replaced, constant alignments. I can't keep brakes on the car. They last maybe 15,00 miles. Master cylinders have been replaced 3 times since 2009.Now this car has never been off paved roads, is garaged and the car (including under body is cleaned every month during the snowy months. MY MAIN COMPLAINT IS ABOUT THE SUSPENSION SYSTEM AND COMPONENTS. Since Subaru has been marketing Hyundai's, workmanship has declined at an alarming rate. Prior to this 2007, the Subaru's ran forever, this 2007 replaced a 1993 with 287,988 mile Legacy. I'll be lucky if I reach 200,000 with this car. Starting in 2009, I have spent over $5,000 on repairs.

Outback 2.5L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 69,594 miles

my dealer pointed me out that my trailer bushings at the rear are for 50% gone. To have it fixed would cost me appr. CAD600.-

My car is 3 years old, mileage appr 115000 I paid a lot of money for this car assuming that Subaru is a good product. Since was just out of the warranty (past 100,000 km) I asked for some goodwill, Subaru did not honor his. This problem together with other problems real disappointed me and reflects the quality and service Subaru provides.

I am sure they don't mind to lose a client. But I will advice other people to think twice to buy a Subaru product.....
