This car provided cargo space as well as comfort. I will buy another one as soon as i get to europe. Traveling every day in this car was a joy.

Good Car

I drive a 2020 Subaru Outback for work and like it so much that I wanted to get one as a personal vehicle. Unfortunately I couldn't afford a brand new one but ended up getting the 2016 instead. It drives really well and is comfortable on longer trips.

Very Dependable and Best Value

Extremly realiable, easy to maintain, can handle various types of life styles, either be as a family vehicle in urban setting, off road for outdoor life stype or be in a work horse to move stuff.

The BEST car I have ever owned.

This is the absolute BEST car I have owned in over 30 years. I was a Honda person for the last 20 years. Since purchasing this Outback, I am now hooked on Subaru. This car has so many safety features that I am just blown away. It is always surprising me with new phrases like 'put both hands on the steering wheel' or 'the car in front of you has exited'. I am blown away. I wish I would have known about Subarus when my kids were teenage drivers. The quality of the interior is superior (I have a Limited...I was shocked that the back seats were even heated). It has tons of room for my many trips to Arkansas as well. I live two hours away from Harvey Subaru (there is not a Subaru dealership where I live), but it is well worth the drive to have my Outback serviced. The service Department, along with Sales, is phenomenal. I highly recommend the Subaru Outback. A++++ vehicle

Meets nearly all of our expectations

We are still learning how to work the computerized dashboard. The back-up camera is a nice feature. The car is a beautiful color and style. We still need to have the brakes re-checked, because they seem to be too soft.

My first Subaru

I LOVE my Subaru, The best performing all wheel drive car I have ever owned. It's so good in the snow that it makes trips over the passes in the winter time fun.

I'm in love!

This is the car that I've wanted for many years. Now that I finally have it, I'm beyond happy. Can't believe that a solid car like this with a 4cylinder engine could have this much get up and go. The reason for my 4-star ratings are that I wish the gas mileage was better, and I don't like the khaki colored interior. These are minor things that I knew going in, and I'd buy the car again.

Best car I've owned

I've only had this car for 6 months, but already, I am super impressed. On a recent long road trip, with 3 people on board + all their luggage + a car top carrier full to the brim, it was getting 7.6L/100km (31mpg).
