2003 SUBARU LEGACY WAGON "SPECIAL EDITION" for sale by owner! This ALL WHEEL DRIVE wagon has been very well maintained all it's life and has NEVER been abused. It has all the usual features - such as one of the world's best ALL WHEEL DRIVES, legendary reliability and longevity combined with a VERY REASONABLE fuel consumption for a car of this size and power. In order to pass the requirements for the certification, my mechanic installed BRAND NEW FRONT AND REAR BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS, they also changed the engine oil and filter less than 100 kms ago. Timing belt and water pump were done at 196 K and the head gaskets were replaced at the same time, using the thicker gaskets from the STI engines. This absolutelly eliminates any risk for future head gasket problems. The car is equipped with POWER SEATS - HEATED, POWER WINDOWS, POWER DOOR LOCKS, POWER MIRRORS - HEATED, AIR CONDITION, FACTORY AM/FM/TAPE/CD PLAYER, MULTIPLE AIR BAGS, KEYLESS ENTRY, REAR WINDOW WIPER/WASH SYSTEM, SPLIT REAR SEAT. Ther are 2 sets of wheels for the car, 1 set of steel rims with VERY GOOD UNIROYAL WINTER TIRES, and 1 set of ALUMINUM WHEELS WITH PIRELLI SUMMER TIRES, currently on the car. I took the car as "partial trade in" on a bigger deal and have too may cars as it is; I will be glad to answer any related question by e-mail and will show the car to serious buyers by appointment.

NHTSA releases updated Takata airbag recalled cars list, but it still has errors

Wed, 22 Oct 2014



Unfortunately, the government's list still contains errors.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued an updated list of vehicle models that it's urging owners to repair under the mushrooming Takata airbag inflator recall. The latest version adds vehicles from new automakers like Subaru and Ford that are missing from the original announcement, and it also removes erroneous entries from General Motors, leaving only the 2005 Saab 9-2X (a reskinned Subaru WRX), and the 2003-2005 Pontiac Vibe, a joint project with Toyota.

Subaru facing class-action suit over excess oil use

Tue, 22 Jul 2014

A recently filed lawsuit in federal court against Subaru of America and its parent Fuji Heavy Industries claims that several recent models burn an excessive amount of oil. The case, which is seeking class-action status, covers examples of the 2011-2014 Forester, 2013 Legacy and 2013 Outback with the 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and the 2012-2013 Impreza and 2013 XV Crosstrek with the 2.0-liter four-cylinder.
The suit alleges that Subaru knew about the excessive oil consumption but didn't fix the problem, according to USA Today. It contends that owners have to spend an unreasonable amount of money to keep these models topped up with Texas tea, and that the people represented wouldn't have bought the vehicle if they had known that this could happen.
As proof of Subaru's knowledge of excessive oil use, the lawsuit cites four technical service bulletins from the company telling dealers about the issue, although, that would seem to partially invalidate the claim that the automaker hasn't attempted to fix things. The case was filed on behalf of two men, one with a 2014 Forester and the other with a 2013 Outback. "Following an extensive investigation, we now look forward to litigating the case," said Matthew Schelkopf, an attorney for the plaintiffs, to USA Today.

Consumer Reports declares most and least loved cars [w/video]

Wed, Dec 3 2014

Consumer Reports is crunching the numbers from its annual owner-satisfaction survey, and part of that process is finding out how attached drivers are to their cars. CR simply asks readers of models up to three years old if they would buy the same vehicle again in light of their entire ownership experience, and tallies the results. After looking at the responses for about 350,000 vehicles, it turns out that people really love a certain California-built, electrically powered luxury sedan. That's right, this year's the overall winner was the Tesla Model S with a whopping 98 percent of owners saying they would purchase another one (the Model S also won this award last year, with 99 percent satisfaction). The Chevrolet Corvette Stingray came in a close second with 95 percent of drivers hoping to park another one in their garage. A few models weren't quite so favored, though. The Nissan Versa Sedan was the least loved model among its owners; a mere 42 percent said that they would purchase another. The aging Jeep Compass didn't do much better, with just 43 percent of drivers willing to buy the softroader again. On average, about 70 percent of owners say they would buy their car again, and only four cars ranked below 50 percent in CR's findings. Check out the video above to see some of the winners and losers in a few of CR's categories. If you're a subscriber, you can check out the full list on its website.
