• If it's anything like my 2006 outback it will be a bit soft but will go everywhere, regularly return 30mpg and 36 on a run. It will surprise you when you chuck it about at higher speed, the low C of G really is noticeable.

    It will use some oil, bit not a massive amount.

    It will eat drop links.

  • It's just had new front shocks and cambelts for its service in December and is like new all round. It feels stiffer than my A4 and that does 850 miles to a litre of oil so I doubt it will be worse than that. Thanks
