£350 for an alloy wheel!!!!!
Hi all, I am looking to get a full size spare for my 2011 outback and after giving up trying to find an alloy from a breaker, decided to get a price for a new one. Was told £350, just for one!! I believe the specs for the 2011 outback are 17x7j et48 offset with 100x5 pcd. Does anyone now if this is correct?, and was the spec of the 2009 17 inch wheels the same as there seem to be a few of them about? The dealer also tried to sell me the "recommended" spacesaver which had a smaller rolling circumference, which I thought was a no no with all wheel drive? Any thoughts or advice welcome. Cheers, Paul

Towing with a 2011 CVT
I've just bought one of these and intend to do a small amount of light towing. It's rated for 1800kg braked and 750kg unbraked. Permanent 4wd helps, but cvt fluid would need changing more regularly if towing alot. I've found mine to be a very smooth vehicle with cvt, but if I was going to do alot of heavy towing, I would have gone diesel manual. Cheers, paul

LPG anyone?
Picked up the outback today and my first impression is delight! The car seems to run a bit quieter with no loss in performance. Filled up with Lpg for £26!!!!! Drove the 40 odd miles home and gauge still has 4 out of 4 lights lit. Big thank you to pawel and staff.

My first Subaru
Took some photos this morning. 13 hour, 600 odd mile drive (over 2 days) from inverness was worth it. Very comfortable and nearly 42 mpg average! Very pleased so far.
