2017 Subaru Outback consumer reviews

I have owned over 40 vehicles and by far the Subaru Outback is the best built and most fun to drive. Last weekend I shot a beautiful large deer and it fit perfectly in the back of the Outback.

This is my 3rd Subaru and it is a safe small SUV. It has plenty of legroom for myself and my growing grandchildren.

I like all of the safety features actually designed into the structure of the vehicle. The frame surrounds you and the engine is slung low in the chassis and slides under the frame in a serious collision.

First off, I'm not a fan of Subaru and their promote branding, don't care about "love". The outback itself is a hard bargain to beat as it's a sub 30k true awd vehicle that can get through almost anything. Pros: Cheap Easiest car I've ever seen to work on Great fuel consumption rate Lite off road capable Can fit BFG ko2's on 17' rims Quiet cabin Safe? (Haven't crashed it yet to prove it). Cons Slowest car I've over owned Ugly looking Only 8" of ground clearance You easily get mistaken for someone who vapes

I bought the Touring Outback model because the seats come in a gorgeous dark leather color (Java Brown) and in my opinion they are more comfortable than the legacy. (Although that could be just me.) The brown color interior is soothing and super classy and it will keep cleaner longer . The ride is much quieter than the legacy because the roof racks are concelled in such a way that the wind does not catch at high speeds. I rode a 2017 Legacy loaner yesterday (I was getting my leather upholstery treated) and I was surprised at the difference the racks made in reducing cabin noice level, particularly with the moon roof slider open. The Touring Outback is so much quieter!! The visibility is much improved from my 2014 outback since they changed the design and that was one of my concerns which was resolved. I decided on the Touring trim because I wanted leather but was concerned the light cream color interior would show wear sooner. Touring comes with heated steering wheel. I always thougt that a heated steering wheel a banal addition, like some silly sale enticement gimmick . Not any more!!! I love this car, just love it. I recommend you buy a Touring Outback, well worth it.

Comfortable for long excursions. Good gas economy. Starlink system very helpful. Love the monthly reports that Subaru sends to me.

IT sorry in many ways.If u ever owned a brand new 2011 Subaru outback limited(loved my 2011 kep it for over 7 yrs (boutht 6/2010)u would understand.THE Body outside and inside was is rediclous.Hope Subaru reds this.tryed to get meetin with Subaru rep. ay home town Subaru,wv.IM still waiting.not holding my breath.From 2011 to 2017 Subaru was chiping away at the car in side out.I cous riet a book about the chiping.On the Question Primary use u only to check one.i can have fun on the road and in the WOODS.Didint by it for one use.How many people buy for one use.?

We have black some odd kind of upolistry. Heated seats. The seats other then the drivers side are comfortable. I am thin I through hips and bottom. I 45 minute drive make my bottom sore, for 20 minute after riding in it. We loved the fuzzy, comfy and were more like a chenille. Where has that upolistry gone. It's leather of tough black or grey papery feel to it...... I liked the nice polis try that was standard in the past.

I love this car! Overall, the best in quality, performance, style, and handling. Seems durable to hold up with my day to day life as a busy working mom.

This is my fourth Outback-like them. Three have been six cylinder-very fast-surprize many other drivers when I leave them behind at a light...
