Perfect blend of Comfort, Safety and Reliability

The 2020 Outback Limited is our 4th Subaru and they just keep getting better. The interior, all wheel drive, EyeSight, technology and ride are World class without the high price of the status logo cars that attempt to match the features and functions of Subaru.

Outback onyx

Good acceleration and looks. Computer system could use some tweaking but it is bearable. Found the handling to be pretty good. Plenty of space for storage. More comfortable than leather seating imo.

My 26th and most favorite cat.

The Subaru Outback not only handles well but I'm 6-4 and even with my seat all the way back and he has legroom for people to sit behind me.

Pleased with our purchase

The purchase was painless, the car was delivered to our home in Fishers from the dealership in Illinois. We were very pleased with the customer service.

The Outback is a great car for all around use.

We've owned 3 Outback and can't say enough about the quality and performance of the vehicle. We absolutely love this car and I know we would purchase another one if need be.

Review after a few days of ownership

Only had the car for a few days. So far I'm impressed. It's very comfortable, very quiet, and rides nicely. Has loads of safety and tech features and I really enjoy driving it so far. No issues yet, but only had it a few days. The real test will be in 90 days or more...

Unreliable due to issues with dead battery

Battery is inadequate to meet the electrical demands. My battery died twice in the past month when it wasn't driven for 10 days. Subaru support and the technician informed me that there was no alternative battery and recommends that I drive it every other day. Subaru also recommended driving in excess of thirty miles if the vehicle is going to sit for a week or more. This is unacceptable. If I travel for a week or longer and leave my car at the airport parking lot, the battery will be dead. Subaru needs to upgrade the battery for greater reliability.
