Thu, 13 Mar 2008 16:06:53 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author betsydru - I agree with the previous review...the 2001 Subaru Outback has defective brakes. We've had to had the brake rotors reskinned every single year from 2001 to 2007. The car vibrates when the brakes are applied and squeals when put in reverse. We've had...

2001 Subaru Outback: great car - $$$$ service after 6 years

Tue, 18 Dec 2007 23:41:59 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author cantsastnice - This car was great protection for family snow-driving; AWD and low center of gravity were a real help. I like it better than an SUV because you can see the kids on bikes around you. The third headrest in back makes it safe for passengers. The leather...

2001 Subaru Outback: L.L.Bean Outback at 40,000 miles

Wed, 16 Jul 2003 16:47:04 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author foveator - The L.L.Bean Outback is Subaru's first entry into what it perceives to be a "luxury" class of car. By Subaru's standards, they did a great job. BMW, Mercedes and Lexus may beg to differ. I am on my 4th Subaru, and they have gotten significantly better...

Mon, 12 Feb 2001 12:48:34 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author klavans - I recently purchased my first Subaru - the LL Bean Edition. Previously I would not even consider a class of cars so notoriously underpowered.
