Hello all
I am new to this site as a member, though I have read many threads on here. I currently own 2 Outbacks, both are 2001 and both have the H6 3.0 which is a terrific motor. Mine is a LL Bean and the fiances is a VDC.
She is completely sold on the VDC system. Her car is getting a little long in the tooth at 188k miles with some road rash and we are looking to replace it.
I have looked at the generation 3 models and am apprehensive due to the lower MPG (I am sold on the 3.0 motor and intend to stick with it), and issues I hear about ghost walking. The new cars are more than we want to spend. We are considering cars 2001 or newer and might get an early 3rd generation if we can find a good deal on one.
I read that VDC is now standard equipment on all current year models. We want her next car to also have VDC. My questions are when did VDC become standard equipment? Also, how may I identify cars between the 2001 (which was badged with a "VDC" emblem) and 2012 that have the VDC system?
Thanks for the replies.
