Hi. I am thinking of buying a Subaru Outback 2010 2.5. Is it a reliable car? Is it expensive to repair? Thanks

We are not aware of any common problems with the 2.5L Subaru motor. However, If the vehicle has been mistreated and not maintained on a regular basis then you should rather stay clear of it and search for a vehicle with a good service record and low mileage. The services can be expensive, especially the major cambelt replacement service, so you should do your homework to see whether the cambelt replacement and service has been done recently.
