Would you recommend a Outback XT manual as a good first car? I’ve been thinking of getting one, but the reliability makes me not wanna get one. But you have experience, so I assume you know something about Subaru reliability.

@@EK-np4nx I must say that Subarus are pretty reliable and very easy to work on for most repairs, and the XT models are also less likely to have head gasket issues as well. Only thing left to note is that they do tend to burn oil, so check the oil level regularly and your vehicle will reward you!
