Is the Subaru Outback AWD AWD too loud?
Forget about going on vacation because there is TOO MUCH WIND NOISE!!!! Its almost like having a separate stereo system, one for the radio, and one for the noisiness of the car. You won’t get stopped because people love the way it looks because it is ugly, especially the ’03 model. We are hoping to trade in the Subaru before it depreciates.
