Up for sale, 2005 Subaru Outback 2.5 Limited. This is the higher fuel-mileage engine and it is loaded with every option. It is my daily driver but I have a baby on the way so I need something with more back-seat/trunk space. Here are the key points on this car:

The Good:
This car is a 5 speed manual
It has every option except for the automatic transmission and gas guzzling powerful engine
The car has a current emissions certification from the state of Illinois
Big moon roof (its huge)
No rust
Very reliable. Ive owned the car for 2 years and I have never had a problem. 
Clean Title
A/C works great
Power Windows
Power locks
Dual front and side airbags
Heated seats
Dual Zone automatic climate control
Gets 23-24 Mpg with a combination of city and highway (about 40%/60%)
Comes with Rubber floormats and trunk liner
In the last 6 months it has had both lower ball joints replaced, the drivers side axle replaced, alignment, tire rotation and the passenger side control arm replaced. These are wear items and need to be replaced every 100k miles or so
1 year ago I replaced all four brake rotors, all the brake pads and put new calipers on the front wheels as a precaution
It has excellent Hakkapelitta winter/snow/ice tires. They have very deep tread

The not so good:
174,456 miles. This will go up each day as I drive it every day
Drivers interior door panel is damaged. Not sure how, it was like that when I bought it. Has some ripples in it (see picture)
The 2 rear interior door panels have a small tear (see pictures)
Uses 1 qt of oil and 1 qt of coolant every 1000 miles or so. Just check it periodically
Has 175k miles worth of minor door scratches
The gas filler door is a little hard to release so I just leave it partly open sometimes
The passenger heated seat only works on the back, not the seat bottom

Note that I will be keeping the Hella lights on the roof of the car, as well as the bike racks. However, the factory roof rack and cross bars will stay with the car.

I am negotiable on the price but the Kelly Blue Book rates the car from $5497-$7272. I have priced it at the low end due to the door panel damage and paint scratches.

As you can see, I have included all the information I can think of for this car. I would be happy to show you the vehicle history report upon request. It comes up perfect with a note about a vehicle inspection notice that was resolved.

Pontiac Aztek enjoys rebirth thanks to Millennials

Fri, Sep 11 2015

Apparently, Millennials – those between 18 and 34 – aren't afraid to look different on the road, and they like performance, too. A new study by Edmunds is discovering some surprising vehicle choices by this group. Among them, the long-derided Pontiac Aztek is getting a new day in the sun with 25.5 percent its buyers coming from this generation in the first half of 2015. For comparison, Millennials represent an average of 16.8 percent of used car purchases. The Aztek is slowly shaking its reputation as a styling abomination, which seems tied to its appearance on Breaking Bad. The show premiered in 2008, and the Pontiac has been on this list for four of the past five years, according to Edmunds. It even led the pack in 2010. A recent Retro Review from MotorWeek also showed that the crossover wasn't always so hated. While it's still a shock to see the Aztek on any popularity list, the awkward-looking crossover only ranks sixth among Millennials. The vehicle with the biggest portion of buyers from the generation is the Dodge Magnum with 27.6 percent. According to Edmunds, the bluntly styled wagon is especially popular in Detroit and Chicago. The Chrysler Pacifica comes in a close second at 27.3 percent. When it comes to used cars, value and utility appear to trump just about anything else for many Millennial buyers," Edmunds analyst Jeremy Acevedo said in the report. Young buyers aren't afraid of sporty rides, either. The Subaru WRX has 26.4 percent Millennial buyers to rank third place on the list, and the Volkswagen R32 takes fifth at 25.7 percent. Just a few points lower in seventh place is the Nissan GT-R at 25.4 percent, and the final performance machine in 10th place is the Lexus IS-F with 24.7 percent. Related Video:

Autoblog goes on an African safari, Subaru-Style

Fri, 21 Jun 2013

... And Learns To Love The Ostrich
Subaru may be the ostrich of the Japanese auto industry.
When one thinks of a safari, they naturally draw pictures in their mind's eye of wild animals, like lions, elephants and giraffes. I'm no different, and it was with visions of long telephoto lenses over vast runes and dunes that I embarked on a 19-hour plane ride from Phoenix, Arizona to Plettenberg Bay in South Africa, camera gear in tow.

LA Design Challenge invokes biology for 2025 concepts [w/poll]

Wed, 13 Nov 2013

Participants in the annual LA Design Challenge always manage to come up with edgy, wacky designs for future vehicles, but with a theme of "Biomimicry and Mobility: 2025" this year's crop of cars might be the quirkiest we've ever seen. As usual, automotive designers from around the world participated in this year's competition, and all the designs will all be unveiled next week during the LA Auto Show with a winner being announced on November 21.
Chinese automakers made a strong showing with Qoros, SAIC Motor, JAC Motors (the company responsible for the Ford F-150 clone) and Changfeng all bringing interesting takes on the biology, human intelligence and sustainability theme. One of the more innovative ideas among these automakers is the Qoros Silk Road System allows autonomous vehicles to drive in packs similar to how ants travel. Speaking of ants, the SAIC Motor Mobiliant (shown above) gets its design from the shape of an ant's body, and, like the insect, it can climb building acting as a personal elevator as well. The JAC Motors design also merges vehicle and building design, while the Changfeng LaBrea inspired by the design of muscle fibers.
Other entrants include Subaru and US-based design teams for BMW, Toyota and Mazda. BMW's duo of concepts mimic plant and animal life. The LA Subways concept acts as a submersible, single-person vehicle to take advantage of the LA river, with a shape similar to an Ocean Sunfish. The Sustainable Efficient Exploratory Device (SEED) imitates the shape of a seed pod, and uses propulsion methods inspired by a shark, dragonfly and a water bug. Mazda's Auto Adapt might be the most car-like concept of the bunch, while the Subaru Suba-Roo and the Calty-designed, Toyota e-grus are the most mind-blowingly awesome.
