The one I'm looking at is a clean 2-owner with no accidents, damage or rust and has 91k miles. Not sure if its had a new time chain yet so I'll just assume I'll need to do that at 100+k miles but its only $6500 so I feel like that leaves me some $$ for PM items.

It drives nice and the AWD would be a plus for my daughter compared to her FWD Honda Civic. Would like to hear your experience with the 2012 Subaru Outback 2.5i though just to make sure there aren't any issues I need to consider.

I thought that only Lesbians, Eco Terrorists and PETA members were allowed to buy a Subaru.

it gets good reviews.

drove one as a rental for a week. the ride was good, mileage was about average 18 mpg. about the norm for the time.

i did not like the fact that you need to be careful what you left in the open at motels when i was renting it.

i was working at the time and rented different vehicles weekly traveling for work.

it would ave been in the middle of vehicles that i rented.

it should last your daughter another 200K miles if it is taken care of.

We had an outback for a few years. Switched to Toyota sequoia's for the passenger capacity. Wife still says the Subaru was the best car she ever owned.
$6,500 with 90,000 miles I'd buy one for my daughter in a second. Young girl in a Subaru Forester cut in front of my wife going 25mph earlier this year, the Sequoia rolled the Subaru over on it's roof but the girl came out without a scratch.

You can find a low milage Camry for that,...and she won't get hit on by big old gals with flat top haircuts if she's driving a Camry.

A buddy bought one for his wife. Pretty sure Subaru didn't have them in mind when they built the car, the thing drove lots of miles on remote blasted rock logging roads. Pretty sure it was a 2010 not sure if that's the same as a 12 but it was 6 years old last I saw it and it hadn't missed a beat yet. Tough little cars.

Or have AWD and better safety rating. Im die hard Toyota but for my daughter, given the choice, i'd take AWD, and Subaru definitely has a better safety rating. If I was buying for my elderly father like bristoe, or retarded step brother like slum, I'd go Kia

My wife has been running a Subaru forester for 6 years. We absolutely love it. It's all we need for us and 1 kid.
Gets around great, easy on gas, no maintenance issues, etc.

I do get tired of hearing the dyke car shiit, but, whatever

Wife has a 14 Subaru Outback 2.5 no issues at all 75K on it, 28 to 32 MPG think its better built than my 2010 Honda CRV. Unreal snow car and lo insurance costs. Certain years had a lot of issues and up here there is a lot of Subaru,s and repair shops! Subaru is URABUS spelled backward! Just Google 2012 Subaru problems thats how I find problem years.

Whatever is right. A lot of the gay gals around here seem to prefer Ford pick ups.

You'd hit it. Probably have Rene run the videocamera while you did it.

They are very popular in Madison Wisconsin according to my son who lives there and drives one.
I owned a AWD Wagon in 1983. 28 mpg and it thought it was a Jeep.


I like to do my hunting BEFORE I pull the trigger!
There is only one kind of dead, but there are many different kinds of wounded.
