Up for sale, 2005 Subaru Outback 2.5 Limited. This is the higher fuel-mileage engine and it is loaded with every option. It is my daily driver but I have a baby on the way so I need something with more back-seat/trunk space. Here are the key points on this car:
The Good:
This car is a 5 speed manual
It has every option except for the automatic transmission and gas guzzling powerful engine
The car has a current emissions certification from the state of Illinois
Big moon roof (its huge)
No rust
Very reliable. Ive owned the car for 2 years and I have never had a problem.
Clean Title
A/C works great
Power Windows
Power locks
Dual front and side airbags
Heated seats
Dual Zone automatic climate control
Gets 23-24 Mpg with a combination of city and highway (about 40%/60%)
Comes with Rubber floormats and trunk liner
In the last 6 months it has had both lower ball joints replaced, the drivers side axle replaced, alignment, tire rotation and the passenger side control arm replaced. These are wear items and need to be replaced every 100k miles or so
1 year ago I replaced all four brake rotors, all the brake pads and put new calipers on the front wheels as a precaution
It has excellent Hakkapelitta winter/snow/ice tires. They have very deep tread
The not so good:
174,456 miles. This will go up each day as I drive it every day
Drivers interior door panel is damaged. Not sure how, it was like that when I bought it. Has some ripples in it (see picture)
The 2 rear interior door panels have a small tear (see pictures)
Uses 1 qt of oil and 1 qt of coolant every 1000 miles or so. Just check it periodically
Has 175k miles worth of minor door scratches
The gas filler door is a little hard to release so I just leave it partly open sometimes
The passenger heated seat only works on the back, not the seat bottom
Note that I will be keeping the Hella lights on the roof of the car, as well as the bike racks. However, the factory roof rack and cross bars will stay with the car.
I am negotiable on the price but the Kelly Blue Book rates the car from $5497-$7272. I have priced it at the low end due to the door panel damage and paint scratches.
As you can see, I have included all the information I can think of for this car. I would be happy to show you the vehicle history report upon request. It comes up perfect with a note about a vehicle inspection notice that was resolved.

2015 Subaru WRX leaks out ahead of debut [w/video]
Tue, 12 Nov 2013The car you see above could, possibly, be the 2015 Subaru WRX, a car that isn't supposed to reach the public eye until next week's Los Angeles Auto Show. The leaked image has been circulating around the web, along with a brief teaser video of the new sports sedan (which you can see below).
The image, which AutoWeek reports may be (probably) a render, appeared on the Clubrz Facebook page, a Subaru fan group. It does fit somewhat with the teaser image we showed you yesterday, while featuring certain styling cues from the WRX Concept shown at the last New York Auto Show.
Now, we'd advise you take this with an appropriately sized grain of salt. We won't know for certain what the next WRX looks like until we're parked in an uncomfortable chair at the LA Convention Center. Still, take a look up top and let us know if the new WRX - which, we'll point out, has neither gold wheels, a big wing or World Rally Blue paint - fits with what you wanted to see. We've also got a very short teaser of the car that plays on the teaser image posted yesterday, which you can see by scrolling down.
Consumer Reports says Toyota, Ford, Honda and Chevy are big winners in brand perception survey
Wed, 05 Feb 2014According to Consumer Reports, the automotive brands that stand out in the minds of car buyers are, in order: Toyota, Ford, Honda and Chevrolet. This news comes after the magazine polled its readers, asking them to take into account vehicle quality, safety, performance, value, fuel economy, design/style, and technology/innovation - which are the factors that car shoppers are most influenced by.
It's important to note that this award is only about perception. In other words, it's perceived quality, not actual quality. "Often, perception can be a trailing indicator, reflecting years of good or bad performance in a category, and it can also be influenced by headlines in the media," said Jeff Bartlett, Consumer Reports deputy automotive editor.
The brand that made the biggest jump in perception amongst Consumer Reports readers is Tesla, which posted an impressive 47-point gain to finish in fifth place. Subaru is also notable for finishing in the top 10, despite being one of the smaller manufacturers doing business in the US. Scroll down below for all the details from Consumer Reports, if you're so inclined.
Subaru is America's third most off-roaded brand
Tue, 01 Jul 2014When you think of iconic off-road brands, where does Subaru fall on your radar? Somewhere in the middle? Perhaps near the bottom? Don't worry, you're not alone. Until recently spending some time in Bend, OR, where we drove the all-new 2015 Subaru Outback, we never really pegged the Japanese automaker to be a highly lauded brand among off-road enthusiasts, despite many of the company's products actually being quite capable when the going gets rough.
But the data says we're wrong. According to a 2013 J.D. Power study, Subaru vehicles have some of the highest use off road compared to other brands - of course "off road" here just means anything not on a paved road, so even gravel trails and tame two-tracks count in these statistics. Nearly 29.5 percent of its cars are used on trails and dirt roads, with only the Ram and Jeep brands besting that statistic, at 30.2 and 31.0 percent, respectively. Said another way, Subaru sold 424,683 vehicles in the US in 2013, meaning that some 125,281 saw off-road use. Mainstream brands like GMC, Ford and Chevrolet all trail Subaru, and even Land Rover comes in at less than 20 percent.
Some 34.7 percent of Outbacks are taken off paved roads, according to J.D. Power data.
