2012 Subaru Outback consumer reviews

My wife owns a 2012 Subaru Outback only 13 years old 83690 miles & the engine sub-frame cradle in the front is rotted out. It was under coated when new. This is premature rotting of inferior steel a safety issue, especially being that it was rustproofed new. And that it has low mileage. This should of had a recall on this item for safety reasons being the sub- frame should last the life of the car.

Owned this car since I ordered it new. Limited trim was worth it! At 167,000 miles I have only done routine maintenance. Synthetic Mobil 1 since I got it. Original front brakes, rears replaced only once. Solid, great mpg always. Rated at 22/29 and I routinely exceeed both by 2-3 mpg. Great in snow! CVT has NEVER given me any issues. I’ve towed boats and trailers within the 2700# specified limit without a concern. This car has been a tank and still looks like new. Paint is great, no rust or plastic degradation at all.

great for comfort and snow driving. Navigation system little disappointing. hard to get updates. car has lots of pep. 3.6R engine is the way to go.

very reliable, comfortable, performs well on hills, canyons roads due to more power of the H6. No issues with 112,000 miles. Mostly highway miles and kept in garage went it is resting. Original brakes, using my paddle down shift on canyon roads in Eastern Oregon. Everything works, looks like it has 30,000 on it. Paint and hardware holding up well.

As a Professional Ski instructor, this car went into snowstorms to get to work or on days off to ski in VT. It has a very smooth ride. I put a hitch on it and have taken 4 bikes to the Outerbanks, Wisconsin, and the Dutchess County and Harlem Rail Trails. Has USB ports for driver and passenger. There is even power in the rear cargo area. I love the acceleration the 3.6 engine provides. Clean car and runs great. This well maintained Subaru is in its midlife and will provide a dependable ride for years to come.

The Swiss Army knife of automobiles. Have owned 6 outbacks. Good gas mileage and you can count on it. Easy maintenance and parts aren't expensive. Recommend.

This car was great for our growing family; never any issues except very minor. We have used it for all of our out of town trips and in town driving. Hope to find the right person for it.

This is the third Outback I have owned. Subaru has it down! There is. Reason they are the official car of the US Ski team, as they are by far the best cars I have ever driven in the snow!!

Good ride, comfortable interior, good performance, and safe vehicle. Of all the cars I have owned, it is one of my favorites. The only faults I have found with it are the gas mileage with the boxer engine, I would hope the economy would be better. Also, the stock navigation system with multiple DVDs is almost comical and I quickly replaced it with a better system with CarPlay and Android Auto.

This has been a great car and has served all of my needs. It has great traction on wet and snowy roads and is very comfortable to drive.
