The 2.5L boxer engine runs smooth, sometimes in the cold weather it has a hard time starting, but that’s typical of these cars and the extreme cold. Subaru’s AWD system works great, especially in rain and snow. No overheating and it has always been dependable for daily driving.
It has occasionally thrown a P0420 check engine light code (very common on older Subarus due to catalytic converter efficiency). It comes and goes and has never affected performance, fuel economy, or reliability.
Interior & Features:
• Clean interior for the age but has stains as you can see in pictures
• Comfortable seats
• Power windows and locks
• Heat works, A/C doesn’t. Threw a belt and I haven’t cared to replace.
• Good visibility and lots of cargo space
• Rear seats fold flat
• Has full size spare tire
Exterior:
• Typical cosmetic wear for a 20-year-old vehicle (small dings, scratches, paint wear)
• Nothing that affects how it drives
• Good daily driver, ski/camping car, or winter beater
Extras:
• Includes TWO full extra sets of wheels/tires (great for winter and summer setups)
Overall it’s an honest, dependable older Subaru that still has plenty of life left and would make a great commuter, first car, or outdoor/adventure vehicle.
Clean title in hand.
