This 2011 Subaru Outback 2.5i Premium with 164k is a smooth ride in Steel Silver Metallic. Ready to go after our head gasket job, which consisted of new head gaskets, valve cover gaskets, and resurfacing the heads before putting everything back together. Also replaced the head on the RH side. Gave it a new timing kit (=new timing belt, tensioner, and 3 pulley wheels). New PCV valve.

Gave it new rear brake pads. Front pads are close to new, with 9mm thickness (10mm is new for front pads). Also replaced a ball joint, the rear sway links, as well as the front right CV axle and control arm.

Gave it our signature 300+ mile test, and it passed.

Automatic transmission with optional manual mode and paddle shifters.

17" alloy wheels with a set of new Westlake SU318 all-season tires. 9-10/32" tread depth, which is what new tires need to be.

Has a hitch! Also a wiring harness for trailer lights (see photos).

Sunroof with slide and tilt functions. Fog lights. Luggage roof rails with pivoting fold-away crossbars.

Lots of amenities: All-Weather Package includes heated front seats, outside mirror defoggers, and windshield wiper de-icers. 10-way power driver seat including power lumbar support. Tilt and telescoping steering wheel. Flip-down rear armrest and beverage holder. Rear seats recline as well as fold forward for more cargo space. Retractable rear cargo cover. Cargo net. Quality rubber Subaru floor mats and cargo mat.

Audio as well as cruise control buttons on the steering wheel. 1/8" aux jack in the center console.

There are 3 12v power outlets: in the front console, center console, and rear cargo area.

A trip computer is in the dashboard to monitor fuel economy: it got 28.8 mpg over 101 miles of highway driving, and 23.4 mpg over 495 miles combined.

Driver's seat height (adjustable) averages about 25" off the ground. Its ground clearance of 8.7 inches makes it not only easy to get in and out of, but along with the all-wheel drive, makes it a great vehicle for all seasons, including Midwest winters.

It represents Subaru's 4th generation of Outbacks, named by Motortrend as the "SUV of the Year." Its maximum cargo capacity, with 34.3/71.3 cubic feet (back seats up/down) rivals other classic SUVs on the market. And as for legroom and headroom, it's just plain roomy. Try it out.

For stability and safety, Subaru's Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) system monitors the direction of the car compared to the intended steering direction. It compensates by braking individual wheels and/or altering fuel flow to the engine. Also, the Traction Control System (TCS) senses if any wheels are skidding and redirects power only to those wheels having the best traction. This is what is meant by the word "symmetrical" in Subaru's "Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive."

Imperfections (see photos): wrinkle in rear bumper cover; surface rust spots in front doorjambs; white paint spots on passenger door interior; pokes in front center armrest.

But of course it has Subaru's signature All-Wheel Drive transmission!
