Subaru is a brand known for reliability see full Subaru Legacy review

Subarus are known for their reliability and longevity. They are much less common than most makes and are known for being different. see full Subaru Legacy review

They are made to last. You see plenty of old Subarus still going strong, especially in cold weather regions like Canada and the US north East. see full Subaru Legacy review
2005 4dr Sedan turbocharged 250hp 2.5L H4

I flagged brand and image here because I like how my LGT in distinct without calling attention to itself. see full Subaru Legacy review
2005 4dr Wagon turbocharged 250hp 2.5L H4

Subaru has a pretty good reputation and image...although it is a bit quircky as viewed by some. Reputation (a good one) usually has a major affect on resale value. see full Subaru Legacy review

where I live in the country most people have Subarus and the dealer is nearby and has a good reputation. see full Subaru Legacy review

I flagged brand reputation & image as a dislike too because I see so many people asking questions like ‘LGT or G35 or 3 series?.’ These are great cars, but you don’t want to buy one if you want impress people. This is a plus or minus depending on who you see full Subaru Legacy review

This is our third Town & Country, over 170,000 miles, over the last 10 years. No major problems. I looked at Honda and Toyota first, came back to Chrysler. see full Chrysler Town & Country review

I bought one cause they have been building them for so long that they must have it perfected by now. see full Chrysler Town & Country review

Obviously, the Japanese have spent more into R&D and have spent more on quality and standard features. see full Chrysler Town & Country review

you hear about poor Chrysler quality and reliability, and a late-model low-miles used car like the one I drove proves that they fall apart too fast, or were never buttoned up well to begin with see full Chrysler Town & Country review
