Subaru Outback

Subaru Outback best value for the money. Exceptional ride, excellent gas mileage, smooth ride, lots of room to go on trips. Also great in the snow. I recommend buying an Outback.

Another Reliable Subaru - But, of course!

this is my 3rd Subaru and I am in love, once again! I got the Touring model this time and feel like a fancy lady driving it...for context, I used to drive a Mercedes and an Audi and I LOVE my RU!!!!

My first Subaru, won’t be my last.

This vehicle is a joy to own and drive. I traded a Navigator for the Outback because I really didn’t need the larger vehicle. The Outback is so smooth to operate, really makes it an enjoyable drive. I have the Touring XT. The power it delivers is very nice. All safety features can aggravate me. I really hate the automatic engine shut off. You really notice this when it is otherwise such a smooth vehicle.

THIS IS A WAGON - NOT A SUV

Great handling - almost like a sports sedan. If you yearn for road feel, you'll get it here. It may be close to overkill in safety features and there are some annoying "beeps" that can't be turned off without disabling a safety feature. More knobs and less screen pages would be nice. Seat height for entry and exit feels like a taller SUV but occupants are definitely sitting lower than people in most SUVs and cars. "Excellent reliability" rating is based on mileage fdgf 1,100 miles so far.

1st Subaru

Only had for a week. Love the color (Green). Love the look. Interior very nice. Smooth and quite ride. Great clearance . I don't like snow but curious to see how the AWD works.

Years of Reliability and Peach of Mind

The Outback is as dependable a car as you can get. This is my second Outback and this model's exterior and interior have been refreshed and it looks fantastic. The interior has a clean and organized feel and nothing looks cheap or out of place. The car is spacious, quiet, and elegant enough for my needs. The car also feels very solid and firm on the road. Although not a sporty car by far, it's also not the slowest.

So far the nicest vehicle I have owned

Have not been able to do much with it due to COVID and the weather. But for routine driving around town it is very comfortable and reliable.

Number 11

Have owned Subie's for years... They are great. Mileage, reliability, cost of service, trade in value, etc. Dealership people really care about their cars. Trade in value is a very big plus.
