2016 Subaru Outback - One Year Later

by 67Stang from Massachusetts on Mon Apr 17 2017

Things I liked’ 1. 6 cylinder power (glad we picked this option) 2. AWD especially in the snow 3. Crash Avoidance System 4. Blind Spot Detector 5. Back up Camera 6. Easy entry & exit from front seats 7. Power Driver Seat with 2 memory settings 8. Available space when back seats are down Things I didn’t like.. 1. Hard transition from our older luxury cars to rough ride of Outback 2. Significantly reduced headroom with Moon Roof (required in Crash Avoidance & BSD system option) 3. Passenger side lacks height adjustment feature 4. Unable to clear rain from driver and passenger side windows (does not clear when lowered and raised) 5. Lack of critical thinking by some Subaru factory trained mechanics (Long story on the BSD) 6. Inconvenient location of USB, Audio, and electrical ports 7. Inconvenient location of option switches (BSD, Rear Gate, etc) 8. No automatic door lock feature during drive away 9. Many switches are not lit for night driving 10. Lack of hidden storage space (beneath spare tire & rear side panels)

Love every Outback I have owned!

by Susan, CB, CO from Crested Butte, CO on Wed Aug 09 2017

This is my third Outback. Have loved them all and progressively more so as style, comfort and technology improve over time. I live at 9000 ft, lots of snow and cold temps. They have never failed me!

A "Colorado Cadillac" in Phoenix

by Commuting Caregiver from Phoenix, Arizona on Fri Apr 13 2018

For a rough terrain vehicle, it drives surprisingly well in the city while providing comfort and some features of a luxury sedan. I frequently drive up the mountains toward Flagstaff, and this little dynamo has the 'get up and go' to climb to higher places. Great in the Valley of the Sun and great in the snowy mountains! As someone of shorter stature, I find it much easier to get in and out of than the full size SUV. When care-giving my 91 year old mother with spinal stenosis, I have found that she is able to get in and out easily....YAY! Though it was a financial burden to purchase a vehicle, it was a necessity as my 1997 Subaru Outback with 177k miles decided to retire before I did! No regrets making this purchase after spending 6 weeks test driving everything from a sedan to larger size SUVs.

Nicest vehicle I 've owned to date.

by Mrs. Right from Medina, N.Y. on Wed Jan 17 2018

This SUV had all the features I wanted and the AWD takes much of the stress out of winter driving and the12 speaker karmon sound system is great.

One of the best family vehicles out there

by ZuMoney from NY on Sun Jul 02 2017

What makes it great for family is its height (easy to get in and out), interior spaces and trunk space. The car is very stable and owns one of the best AWD systems out there.

Great car

by Michelle from Gurnee, IL on Sun Jun 17 2018

I’ve been very happy with my Subaru Oatback. It’s dependable, comfortable, and quiet. Would love a bit more space between seats for ’stuff’, but that’s about it.
