Looks great! Brings back memories!
My daughter's 2020 Impreza I bought her in September has 11k miles now. No job. High school student. Just did her 2nd oil change and put the all seasons back on.
It's a fun car to drive.

bald1Subies are great cars for winter climates.
Oh and they've upped the ante this morning on the expected local snowfall to 6 to 10 inches during the day and another 3 to 7 tonight!

sgalczynFYI - in deep snow - remind him to turn the traction control OFF - read up on the reasoning.
Got to try that suggestion here this winter - actually did improve the ride before the plows got out.

Moot point as the 2003 Outback doesn't have traction control with a defeatable button/switch
This one also has a 4 speed automatic transmission and not the CVT. Son is coming from a manual tranny in the old '99 Forester.

bald1Son's 2003 Subaru Outback Legacy pays a visit to Dad's place.
Broken transmission '99 Forester parked in the background. Mounted winter tires need to be removed and car picked up by salvage yard.
