Outback Great Car

The Subaru Outback is a car full of safety features, so much that my auto insurance actually dropped when I purchased my first one, and now I have a second one. The steering assist and backup sensors have help me avoid an accident several times. Outback is a very comfortable car that provides a great ride.

Our 5th Subaru Outback . . . THE BEST THERE IS!!!

When it comes to safety, reliability, value for the money, and best of all it's performance in the snow, Subaru is hands down the VERY BEST. I would challenge any other car brand to beat any of these qualities in a car . . . no matter what the price!!!

One of the best vehicles I’ve Owned

This vehicle satisfies all of my needs. Very reliable, well equipped, everyday driver. This vehicle has more than ample room for passengers and cargo. Very easy to drive, and comfortable.

Great car

I purchased this after moving to Idaho in anticipation of the oncoming winters. However, have not had to use AWD seriously. But the car is great and very comfortable on the highway.
