Mea culpa. In actually, I own the 1996 Subaru Outback with the 2.2 liter engine. Does this change any suggestions or cautionary tales others have posted thus far?
Man...how could I forget my model year? |

Most cars already have the "black box." My 2003 Suburban does. It is a double edged sword. It can be used to prove you were in the wrong or in the right during an accident. It doesn't transmit any signals to Big Brother. That is what the microchip in your head does.

No worries... You still have a great engine, I think all the previous comments are still valid.

As someone who has both a 95 Legacy Outback & a 2012 OB, I say keep your car & just keep taking care of it!! You are the original owner who has done all maintenance on a car that is made to last. You can't be that! Why get a new one.
I like my 95 better than the 2012. The 95 handles much better, doesn't have the cross wind problem & w/ the rear seat up the cargo depth is more w/ the 95 than w/ the 2012! I would give up the new car before giving up my old one! |

Actually, the day the Myans were talking about would have been a few months ago. They didn't account for the nonexistent leap year that was created when Julius Cesar added the months of July and August to the calendar. So taking leap year days into account we're well passed the end of the world. We're officially safe.

Rust is the only real killer of subarus, well that and trees, dear, and floods.
A well maintained subaru (you should do maint by the month not by the miles) and it will last a good long time. If it has never been done you are long overdue for timing belt and seals. 1 month = 1000 miles wear and tear. |
