A great AWD commuting and off-roading car.

This car has an excellent safety IIHS test and offers more safety features compare to other medium priced suvs. It drives very well on most winter conditions.

I love my Subaru

This is an all around awesome vehicle. It's super comfortable, feels solid and drives great in New England weather. I don't ever see myself owning anything other than a Subaru, we currently own two! I've previously owned a Jeep, Pontiac, Toyota and GMV vehicle, but I'm a Subaru girl through and through and have no reason to go back to anything else.

Long Lasting Subaru

Liked my Subaru Forester and had to replace it and wanted another one. The Forester available were limited. Looked at Outbacks and found the more spacious and quieter. Liked the reliability of the Forester the service and support from Subaru. We also like the great mileage .

The poster child for versatile practicality

The Subaru Outback is a perfect blend of car-like ride, SUV space and off-road ruggedness. While it isn't No. 1 on any of those lists, its unmatched combination of those factors packaged in a smart-looking, feature-filled wagon make it a hard-to-beat choice in a very competitive segment. Subaru's EyeSight technology, a package of safety and driver-assistance features, rivals what you'd find in high-line brands such as Audi, BMW and Lexus. Steering is sure and responsive, braking is strong and moving through city traffic is effortless. The one area where the 2.5 liter boxer engine comes up short is acceleration, especially from a dead stop. Some others in the crossover/wagon/compact SUV segment will have better 0-60 times and torque metrics, but so far I've found the Outback able to meet the demands I've put on it when merging or passing on highways.

Most reliable car I have ever owned

My 2015 Subaru Outback has leather seats that are very comfortable, lots of leg room, cargo space is great, dual heaters for the driver's seat and the passengers seat, 2 USB ports, SiriusXM radio, pandora, cell phone connectivity, heated seats front and back, back up camera, all wheel drive of course, and so much more. I LOVE my Subaru. It has gotten me out of many a tough spots in winter snow where other cars were left stuck. And it has been a champ in long distance drives of 5+ hours, comfortable and great on gas mileage. The on-board map has always gotten me where I needed to go no matter what county or state I've been in. I've owned a brand new Ford 4WD Explorer, a new Chevy 4WD Suburban but none compare with this new AWD Subaru Outback. I think I'll keep it for years.

Like the car, wish it had 3rd row and more towing

Great. Too good to trade but cant wait for the Acent 8 seater. When I get to check it out it is on the top of my short list.

Safe, reliable investment for your money

Solid, well-made vehicle. Great reliability and safety record. Although I have owned two Volvo's in the past, I opted for a Subaru this time around because it has a better reliability record than Volvo and scoots in second in safety, right behind Volvo, making it a better all-around purchase.

My Fourth Subaru and I LOVE it!

I've been a Subaru driver for many years, and so has my daughter. My son and his wife recently leased a Subaru, as well. We love the quality and value.

Surprisingly nice, and unbelievable practical

The Outback is surprisingly luxurious and comfortable. The 2.5L engine does not have much power, but it is well-suited for a smooth, comfortable, quiet ride. There is tons of space and legroom. Our other car is an Audi Q5, and there is significantly more space in the Outback.
