Well I bought an Outback, its a 1996 with a 2.5 L back in November 2013! I kind of like the dam thing, yea mine got some issues that I been working thru but its also a 20 year old car! Fairly easy to work on, and I been doing a lot of wrenching on it myself! Never did before, due to my current economic condition its become a must! I would think the newer ones would have gotten the Head Gasket problems solved! But with not very good tires, I put new ones on this past spring, I have not gotten stuck the pass winter at all and my road is that last road they clean off and not to good, very steep grade! I like the car enough to have spend money on it fixing things- fuel milage around 19 to 20 banging around, not great but not all that bad either. I didn't know anything about them before I bought it, would I buy another, now that I know what to look for and expect, yea I think I would! A well cared for 2006 or 2007 would be about right for me and my pocket book!
