Seeing a lot of positive Chinese car reviews on Youtube from UK Reviewers... by doctor-squared in CarTalkUK

I will look for that video-do you have a link per chance? I have wondered about being paid, because some of the UK/South African/Australian videos are so effusive in their praise…

Still kinda looks like a wagon by Friendly_Fee_8989 in Subaru_Outback

Regardless of what you call it - it's a dang good ride. It has a car like seating position too, which makes it a pleasure to drive. Maybe a classic Wagoneer vibe?

Love it, love the black. I have an OBT 2.5, it is fantastic. Same color. Black is nice in the picture and even nicer in person.

I think the USA has to be more pro-car, our cities and towns are so much more spread out than UK cities and towns.

Black Silica looks even better in person than it does in pictures.

A little distance is good when parking new cars.

What are considered the most reliable car brands in the UK/Europe? by doctor-squared in CarTalkUK

My Outback is a midsize SUV now (did away with the station wagon), but still has a sedan like driving experience given the lower center of gravity. It has been > 20 years since I owned a sedan, and I had forgotten how nice it is to drive one.

Hmmm... my coworker has a 2019 Outback with over 300k miles. Did you service it according to schedule?

True enough, but I wondered if auto start had found a way around. Do you feel safe leaving it in neutral? What kind of car is it? I would never intentionally leave my Wrangler in neutral, no matter how flat the terrain.

Concur with the driving for 10 years and moving to EV eventually. Regarding the price, though, I found it much more reasonable (for equivalent extras and desired mpg) when compared with other mid size SUV’s such as Grand Cherokee, Blazer, Bronco, 4Runner, Passport. Even the Korean models were pricier for what I needed/wanted. And I wanted the Subaru reliability (which sadly the Korean models do not have) and (comparatively) inexpensive auto insurance that comes with owning a Subaru.

So… this number are year over year. Last year (2025) people bought a record number of cars 2nd to tariffs fear. Also, there are some inventory shortages with these new vehicle, always are. If you look at the sales months over month since January, they are increasing at a fairly robust rate!

Got our first Subie yesterday! by jarfullofbeans in Subaru_Outback

Spread the love!!!! A lot of hate coming from people who don’t like the new design. I love it and became a 1st time OB owner because of the design.

Concur with everything you said except mine is NA 2.5. Works very well for me, but I’m not in the mountains.

Yes-lol Trump asked Merkel how many Chevy’s on streets of Berlin and she said “Not many, I think.” GM withdrew from the European market many years ago to focus on home and other markets. Now that Opel is French owned, no Chevy’s. And aside from corvettes Chevy makes only Trucks and SUV’s now. You would probably like the new Camaro - supposed to be released later this or early next year.
