I owned an 01 Outback. Great car, took it on multiple roads trips. Keep up with maintenance and it will last for a long time. I put 90k on mine with minimal maintenance and care. Beware though, those motors are known to have headgasket issues. If it gets overheated once the motor will need work.

Get a manual if you want the proper AWD system. The automatics are crap and will one-wheel-spin.

Also, they're very capable off road, even without lifting and what not.

Don't turbo it "for speed". It will never be a race car and to make it closer to a race car, you'd have to sacrifice everything else that is good with the car. It will easily do all kinds of US speed limits and get there reasonably fast too. Leave it be and maintain it well.

you'll only get 20-22 MPG highway, looking at 16-18 in city driving

Forester will be better stock offroad, but I'm looking at these cars and my usage is going to be very similar, plus moving shit around because university student

tell her to get a real 4x4 it'll do better off road

Don't recommend old car to normal people who don't give a shit about cars.

Sounds like you need a not-Outback

I had a manual outback and I fucking hated it. Could never get the feathering down right and it always jerked going into 2nd.

Wrapped it around a pole doing sick skids and never looked back.

I'm open to other suggestions

I own and drive a 98 legacy. They are alright cars, not as reliable as a civic or corolla of the same era. The 2.5 litre engines are notorious for blowing head gaskets. It's around $1500 to have that repaired, it's a lot to pay when the car is worth maybe 4k. The pre 98 models have the 2.2l engine which is strides more reliable.(which is what I drive). They do well in the snow if you have decent tires and can off road slightly better than other awd sedans/wagons due to a few extra inches of clearence, but it's nothing special if it's stock. I've slept in mine several times on camping trips and road trips, throw the seats down and you're good to go. Remember that any used 15+ year old car is going to be and crap-shoot as far as reliability goes. I bought one because I needed something awd, didn't want a truck and they're a dime a dozen in the Pacific Northwest.

I'd post pics but I got and brand new phone and don't have any.

I own an automatic 2001 outback, and love it, I've taken it places off road you really wouldn't expect it to go, and its all around a good car. The do make ones that come stock with a turbo, they are designated XT but if you can get one with an H6 engine get that
