Best Car I've Ever Owned

I will NEVER buy another brand of car. This car is wonderful and driving it totally de-stresses me. The culture is that of people who care about safety and the planet. Buying this car was a joy as there was no hard sell. This is the best decision I have ever made.

Pets and Babies Included

I love this car. It has a cargo separator to keep my Golden Retriever safe and ample room for a car seat in the backseat. I feel it is a very safe car. It has more extras than I have figured out. It is easy to use the screen and has very convenient controls.

Great car, love all the tech and safety features

Love the car. Love the tech and safety features it has. As close to autonomous driving you can get outside of a Tesla. Wasn't sure about a CVT transmission but this one is great, just like a regular auto trans. Getting good gas mileage with it also. Sold a BMW X-5 diesel for this and the Subaru is a much nicer driver, quieter, and much better in the snow. I got mine with the turbo engine and am very pleased with the performance.

2020 Outback Touring XT new owner

The interior of the 2020 Subaru Outback cinched the deal. After the Test drive I forgot about the competing brands I was considering and focused solely on the OUTBACK. Only 3 days into ownership I feel I made the right decision. This is a car that is easy to love......

2020 Outback was worth waiting for!

I've been driving my 2020 Outback for a few weeks now and can't believe what a really great car it is! I took one long trip and the driver assist features are out of this world. Excellent sound quality and the technology features are really amazing. Lastly, I can't say enough about the dealership and they way they have treated me through the whole process! Just superior service all the way! There technical training was excellent and the incentive (financial) to study up and come back for more training and question and answer sessions was really cool!

Great except for audio system

Comfortable, quiet, great fuel economy, excellent all-wheel drive system. Audio system performance/functionality is horrible. Vehicle has 2 USB ports and Bluetooth functionality. When a phone is plugged into 1 USB port, Bluetooth and other ports are disabled--only the port serving the phone remains functional. System re-orders your music to play back in alphabetical order rather than in the order recorded on the album. System treats navigation voice instructions as an incoming phone call--preempts entire screen display and all audio.

Subaru XT Limited

The XT has the upgraded turbocharged engine/transmission package. Performance is fantastic with very good gas mileage on regular fuel. This is an excellent car that I would recommend to all. Check out Atef Behery at Byers Dublin Subaru!

Great Car

This car is so much more that we had anticipated on buying. Even though I have only been driving it for less than a week I am very happy with it. With all the safety features our insurance stayed about the same.
