wukindada Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Ok.....I am looking into buying a 02 / 03 Outback L.L. Bean edition H6. This vehicle is being purchased to keep the miles down on the LGT. And hopefully a convert the wifey;) Sold the Roush this weekend:(....no toys for a while:icon_sad: I really need some opinions / Tips on things to look for in particular on the years in question. Either year will have less than 50k on them....**New.... is not an option** as I want to keep this "Commuter" under 16k . I do not want the N.A. 2.5 motor ...I am only interested in the 3.0. Main reason the "Outback" is my focus is twofold.... #1 Like the look.....size.....Height #2 Getting one hoping the wifey will "see the light" & get away from the SUV.... Remember this is not the wifeys car...it is mine......commuting car:) Suggestions? Toyota 6EATS .........SUCK!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wukindada Posted February 6, 2006 Author Share Posted February 6, 2006 Have choice of 2 03's both just under 50k....can get either in the target price range..All of the Outbacks (look) to be in great condition...Just need the mechanical / Electrical weaknesses;) Toyota 6EATS .........SUCK!!!!!!

red beast Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 i had a 2001 L.L. beaner wagon. h-6 i only got rid of it because i bought a 04 wrx and i didn't need a station wagon. the h-6 is reputed to be "bulletproof". decent ride and it feels more connected to the ground than the current legacy's. engine will do 90 mph all day without complaint. the tranny had a fix for shifting through it's electronic module thingy. any dealer can do it. it was a subaru recall. could use some stiffer swaybars. (my preference) good paint on the car except the side rocker cladding. the paint is a little thin there and can be scuffed off with a shoe heal. it was a good car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenbean Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 I bought my wife a 03 H6 Green bean edition, she loves it. The all wheel drive makes her feel a little more secure. we've got 63,000 on it now, havent' had any complaints, although I'm currently trying to find out what is making a whiny sound in reverse, it's not gears but sounds like a power steering pump sound. Any how, I like it too. The H6 is a little sluggish at first, but when it gets around 4k rpm hold on. I smoked a Honda a couple months ago that had a couple teenagers in it who made the move at a red light. They hung with until I hit that power band then.....See Ya!!! They were all smiles and thumbs up at the next light. The fun part was I waved bye bye at that 4k mark, Made my day. One thing I've noticed is they don't seem to make aftermarket performance products for the H6, I can't even find an intake for it. I was hoping to help it breath a little better, but maybe you shouldn't mess with perfection! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
