All Time Favorite

We brought this when my wife started a job with a 50 mile commute during a brutal Wisconsin winter. Not only has been great in snow it handles like a sports car and we AVERAGED 34 overall mpg .

New to subaru

Like the eyesight and safety.. main reason we leased.. I4 engine is underpowered.. especially on hwy.. interior is nice and roomy.. 8 inch touch screen is very easy to use and very functional... vehicle is easy to access.. ride is smooth and handling is easy as it drives like a car... not a firm ride, though...

4th Subaru. Very reliable, better gas mileage

Like how it handles curves & turns better than other makes I've driven. Love new features even though very satisfied with my past Subarus. Treated very well by White Bear Subaru, better than anypast

6 creally makes a difference...and the ride is ver

test drove the 4 and 6. 6 was so much smoother with so much less rev. Also very happy with the interior and comfort / firmness of the seats. I went from an x5 BMW and can say that im glad to be away from the constant check engine lights of the bmw's after 15 year

Very nice car

I like the Eyesight feature and the rear camera feature. This greatly enhances my driving safety. It is the main reason I purchased an Outback.

Comfort, handling, performance, design all great

Previously purchased Subaru Legacy. Proven performance with first MAJOR snow storm with most other cars having difficulty on slipper roads, the Legacy has absolutely no difficulty. Local or long distant comfort and performance all terrific.

Great buy on a 2019 vehicle

Wanted an SUV that was reliable so test drove it. Very pleased with what I found. Quiet, nice ride, nice interior, and durable. had also talked to other owners and got their opinions which were very favorable. Traded in another SUV that was older, but what a difference

Extremely happy with this purchase!

I have only owned this car for a few days now, but as a previous Subaru Outback 2.5i Premium owner, I feel like I can accurately describe improvements in design and performance. I absolutely love my CPO 2019 Subaru Outback 2.5i Limited fully-loaded. Between the leather and wood appointed stylings, to the Subaru Starlink, and Bluetooth technology, this car feels lightyears into the future compared to my 2011. I've read previous reviews where people have said that the technology can be laggy or slow but my experience does not give me the same impression. I also own a Honda Odyssey with similar technology and they perform equally as well. The driver's aids are extremely well laid out and work effectively, especially the driver lane assist and back-up camera (which is extremely crisp in display). The limited-edition key fob is extremely effective at locking and opening the car without using my hands and the side mirror lighting is especially pleasing when it is dark out. Speaking of lighting, Subaru got the ambient lighting inside the car just right as well; very peaceful. Connecting my smartphone to the cars Bluetooth was extremely easy and fast and, paired with the excellent Harmon-Kardon speakers, offers easy hands-free phone calls and replies to texts. My last comment is with regard to the upgraded power train. I am easily getting 3 more miles-per-gallon than my 2011 version and feel like responsiveness with the gas-pedal is much improved. The car is quick to accelerate and get to road speeds. Steering is tight and easy to control the car.

An Honest Car

The does everything as advertised. With the 3.6 engine , it has plenty of pickup. Lots of space with the rear seats folded and good ride and handling.
