help me pimp my ride!
Published Jul 11, 2007Views: 219
My timing belt blew out on my Subaru Legacy Wagon (1990 w/ 150k). It had never been changed since I bought it at 90k miles, I consider myself very lucky it lasted this long! We're going to fix it for now, but my wife and I are already planning to get something else.
We like the Honda Element as well as the Subaru Outback. The Element is great, except it gets 25 mpg highway, whereas the Outback gets closer to 30mpg (so I'm told). Does anyone know anything about these or other similar vehicles?

I am a huge Honda fan, but one bad thing about dear old Honda is the amount of road noise. I have read that it is really bad in the Element. Plus the 25mpg gas could definitely be better.
The Outback is definitely your better option in this case. Decent gas mileage, good cargo space and it's one of Subaru's better cars.
Good Luck!
