Wagon Sunroof Heated
Is A 2000 Subaru Outback Sedan A Good Car?
I found a really nice 2000 Subaru Outback Sedan Limited at a local used car dealer. Its got leather, heated seats, a sunroof, side airbags, ABS and of course AWD. I didn't expect I would fall in love with it when I test drove it, but I did. They're asking $4995, which is right in my price range, the only bad thing is that it has 144,000 miles on it. My parents are opposed to it because it has high mileage, but my step-mom has a 2000 Outback Wagon and it now has156k miles on it, so I know they last a long time. Is 144k miles is too much? Will it be a good car? Will it last 4 years and 60k more miles (with regular maintenance)?
I live in Northern VT and commute 80 miles to school three days a week, so I put a few miles on. But I want a safe, reliable car and one I don't have to worry about getting stuck on the Heights I go over on my way to school.
The vehicle you are looking at is an excellent choice if that's your budget range. You want to be sure to check the carfax and have a mechanic (the one that works on your moms car) look it over for major problems. It's a 2000 with 155k so it will have minor problems...what the mechanic should let you know is the likely of lasting the 4 years 60k miles as you're asking here. I am buy a 2000 Forester with 167k miles for my girlfriend this week. I have no worries about it lasting several years and another 150k miles with proper maintenance. You will also want to know if the timing belt has been replace and have the mechanic pay special attention to the head gaskets for leaks. If the timing belt has not been replace I strongly recommend having them pay for that or discount the car (but you need to make sure you have it done one way or the other).

2010 Vw Jetta
The 2010 VW Jetta is still the only budget sedan from Europe available in the US car market. One of the most enticing aspects of these cars beyond fuel economy is their high ability to be customized. VW offers a great selection of engines ranging from adequate, to more than powerful for these smaller sedans. Spaciousness is another key area that the Jetta rates excellent, offering drivers and passengers ample room along with a lot of space for cargo. Don't forget about the TDi model as well, offering nearly untouchable fuel economy.
For the 2010 model year, VW offers an updated interior trim, revamped controls, an updated stereo, and ipod and Bluetooth tech ports. Depending upon the trim package selected, available options will vary greatly. Model packages available include the S,SE, SEL, Wolfsburg Edition, TDI, and TDI Street. Sports wagons are still available as well and are offered in S, SE, and TDI packages. S models have AC, cruise control, 16 inch rims, heated spray washers, heated mirrors, remote keyless locks, electric powered seats, rear bench seats, CD player with audio jack for gadgets, and optional heated front seats. SE models come with a sunroof in sedan models, vinyl seats and upholstery, leather shift knobs, Bluetooth connectivity, 20 speaker audio systems, and a six CD changer, with jacks for ipods and other mp3 players.
High end models of the 2010 VW Jetta, like the TDI Cup have 18 inch wheels that come with performance tires. Other features include sports seats, noticeable red calipers, performance suspension, optional paddle shifter on models that have the DSG transmission, trip computers, and a sporty body style. Chrome accents are available on high end models as well for trim strips and mirrors. Wagon models are similar except with slightly different body styles to conform to there extended frames and interiors.
Rear side airbags and an aerodynamic body kit are optional equipment on all models, excluding Wolfsburg editions. Sport wagons have an optional sunroof. Features that come standard on high end models like tech ports for gadgets can be added to basic models for an additional cost. Touch screen navigation systems can be purchase with a 30GB hard drive, DVD player, and USB port on all high end models as well.
Three different engines are offered for '10 models, including a 2.5 liter 5 cylinder engine that is capable of 170 horsepower, a 2.0 liter 4 cylinder engine with an impressive 200 horsepower, and the fabled 2.0 liter TDI engine that uses clean diesel and puts out 140 horsepower. Although horsepower is compromised on TDI engine equipped, the overall saving in fuel economy certainly make up for it. There is practically no other car on the market that is similar in size that has such a great fuel economy. Coming in at 30 mpg city and 41 mpg highway it is an industry leader to say the least.
Safety features include stability control, side airbags, antilock brakes, and optional rear side airbags. In crash tests the 2010 VW Jetta scored a 4 out of 5 stars for frontal crashes, and a perfect rating for side impact crashes. Though it isn't a class leader in frontal impacts, the side impact rating is certainly remarkable for a car of it's size and stature.
Being the only mid-size European car on the market gives the 2010 VW Jetta enough distinction already, but the wide array of features and engines makes them even more popular. As possibly the most customizable car in it's class, just about every consumer could find something they like about these cars. Prices starting at very reasonable levels only furthers the appeal of these great European engineered cars.
