OK, I have a question about the New Generation of SUBARU's .. I have always liked the look of the old model Subaru's The older Outbacks and Forrester's the Late 1990's to 2003. Cars that were built to last; some with extremely high mileage on them; do you think the newer models will last as long and give the same service and reliability as the older models? if you were in the market for a change of vehicle (New or Used) what would you look for and why?
I've noticed the the choice of engines in the Subaru's has altered a little 2Litre and 2.5,Liter, petrol. or Diesel 2,litre and 3,litre engines. What size engine would you opt for in your next Subaru Outback or Forrester? would it be petrol or diesel? Why?
Do you think the 2-liter petrol and 2,litre diesel engines are as good as the 2.5,litre petrol engine?
I'm really smitten with my newly acquired Subaru Outback AWD, It's a 2002 model that belonged to my Brother (who passed away recently) he bought the car when it was just over a year old; and it's done 57000, miles. I like it so much that I've decided to keep it.
I had considered a newer version of the Outback or Forrester? But there seems to be a lot more character with the older models.
I've read and followed a few discussions about this subject; What are your thoughts?
