Unfortunately ,the GPS will not work locally so you will have to acquire portable Garmin Nuvi navigators which you can use in all your cars.
One thing that surprises me about some Subaru drivers is their craving for attention.
Because their exterior design has always been very discreet and bordering on stealth they are invisible to the naked eye.
That is why every Subaru, even those with 1600cc engines, are fitted with loud exhaust systems to attract attention of Kenyans looking for peace and quiet.
I wonder if Michuki’s sound pollution laws will catch up with this lot.
On the inside of the new models you will have enough entertainment to convince you to consider doing away with external noise.
The High-performance 440-watt, 9-speaker audio system comes with harman-kardon® speakers as standard on the Limited and available for Premium models which you can enjoy even better from the rear thanks to the 65/35 split fold-down reclining rear seat with armrest.
Other goodies include an Electric parking brake (handbrake) with Incline Start Assist function for drivers who cannot balance a vehicle on a hill.
The Subaru continues to be practical and offers innovative roof rails with crossbars that swing into position only when needed, to help reduce wind noise.
One feature I love in Japanese vehicles is the dark tint privacy glass at the back and this comes as standard on the Subaru Outback.
Subaru officiaonados know everything about their beasts but for those that are hoping to join this club here are the specs you can expect under the hood.
A Single overhead camshaft (SOHC) 4-cylinder aluminum boxer engine with a 2457cc with 170 hooves pounding through its Asymetric All Wheel Drive System to its four wheels.
To save you money it is equipped with the i-Active Valve Lift System (AVLS).
