That was Subaru is old slogan.
What is their new slogan.
Are they still inexpensive and built to stay that way?
l had a 1980 4x4 wagon which had few problems and drove better in deep snow than my Nissan 4x4 PU, l think because it was long, low and lightweight.

Think, feel, drive is the slogan. No they are not inexpensive they condsider themselves a premium brand now. The y are still engineered well. l am a fan of the older ones.

It is now ''Love, it is what makes a Subaru a Subaru''.

l have a '99 Outback with now 170k miles on that I've owned for over three years. They're very well engineered, excellent winter drivers, decent haulers (as compared to an SUV or a PU). l would consider my model reliable also. Only had to replace the battery, brakes & recently a still unsolved overheating problem. Not easy fixes (except the battery), but still pretty good record for the age.

What l gathered so far from talking to Subie owners is that the 2.5L engine is the better engine (compared with their 2.2L & the new 3.0L 6-cylinder). although there is a very high frequency of headgasket problems.
