super reliable and value for money

Great vehicle, spacious, safe and excellent handing even in poor weather conditions due to symmetric AWD. Got excellent gas mileage for an AWD (29 mpg HW)

Hands down, best car I've ever owned.

Got my 2.5I Limited just about 7 months ago...it was very slightly used. Without a doubt, the best car I've ever had...so comfortable, great mileage, and super fun to drive. Now, instead of dreading the coming of Winter, I'm impatient for its arrival.

We bought 2!

I needed a good, reliable vehicle and I got it with my Outback Subaru. The safety features (alerts for vehicles in your blind spot, a full screen for backing up, alerts for straying out of your lane) are outstanding and have saved me from a few near-misses. In spite of all the safety features, it has great styling. In fact, my husband loved my car so much he bought one, too!

Great Car!!

This car was just what I was looking for! I wanted a smaller car than my SUV but with some cargo room. This car is great with a comfortable ride!

Excellent. Checks all the boxes.

Really great car. If you know, you know. As reliable as they come, the Subaru Outback was my previous car, current car, and if all goes well my next some day.

Love my car!

I have owned several cars, all purchased brand new and my outback was by far my favorite vehicle. Amazing mpg, strong, great for road trips and towing.
