Good:
- Superb condition for age.
- Maintained by Subaru specialist Bentens Autocare, whilst I lived in Surrey.
- Runs well. Starts first time.
- I do preventive maintenance - after spending nearly three years riding around the world on a motorbike on my own (see if interested), - hence fitting rear shocks, etc above.
- Best air con and demister/heater of any car I've ever had.
- Huge sun roof, heated front seats, cruise control, spare wheel.
- Tow bar, Upgraded wheels to fit Michelin Cross Climate 2 Award-winning 4-season tyres.
- 3 x keys (I'm not good with keys).
Not so good:
- Headlamp washers are not working.
Selling as no longer needed in a flatter Dorset. I moved here from the Surrey Hills, an area with steep, narrow lanes and constant winter streams running down them.
