New Here and given an 03 Outback

Hi all

We were just given an 03 Sub Outback Wagon from family and want my wife to drive it this winter.

I need to do the brakes all around tomorrow for safety and just wondering if there are some quick tips.

Another quick question to the forum. What is with the seating postion. My back is done for the day when I get in this car. My wife complains to but not as much as me. I am 6'4" and she is 5'10'. Is it the seats?

As well there are a few other issues but I will deal with them later.

I am attaching the decoded VIN info below incase there is info import that is related to this car.

Thanks in advance.
