I chose this car after test driving Ford, Lexus, Mazda, Toyota, and Honda crossover equivalents. Hands down best drive, visibility, power, quiet, comfort. I got one with the 3.6 6-cylinder engine. A lot quieter than any turbo 4 cylinder and far better low end torque and power.

So far so good. I haven't had the car long so I can't speak to reliability but neither can most others since it's a 2018. I think the base model is really a great deal. Coming from a base Forester, I feel like I'm drive luxury car. But I buy Subaru mainly for it's utility and functionality. Growing up on snowy roads, I know the disadvantages one faces with fwd or low ground clearance. I also fly fish and have to occasionally drive fire roads so the awd comes in handy there as well. The car is also quiet to drive which is nice. Outside of it's functionality, I really like the technology of the touch screen and android auto. The instrument panel is really cool as well. Directly in front of the steering wheel you can toggle between different digital screens ranging from tire psi readings, to what music you're listening too and more.

The car is roomy enough to carry a large wheelchair for my special needs sister. It is sporty enough to carry my 16ft kayaks on top.

When I retired from the military and decided to live on a fixed income for a while, I needed a reliable car to replace my worn BMW X1, the survivor of several accidents courtesy of living in the DC metro area. I looked at another BMW, Acura RDX and a Subaru Outback. Of course, the BMW and the Acura had more powerful engines and great name recognition but when I looked at the price to get all the additional safety features found in my Outback, the choice was obvious. The Subura has proven to be an outstanding choice especially since I am living on half the budget, I had before retiring and it has a little more power and zip than I was expecting. I would recommend this car to anyone and that’s saying plenty considering my last four vehicles were two BMWs, Jeep Wrangler and an Acura.

Love it except the navigation system and screen have issues. The radio stays on until you open the car door. The auto dimmer on the navigation screen does not dim the screen at night, I have had to manually dim it every time. The navigation is not near as good as Google maps.

Very happy with this car mainly because I have 6 cyl. version. Therefore no issues with acceleration. 10 way power driver seat, V6 power when I need it, Lots of safety features such as lane departure warning, low speed front and reverse crash warning. Blind spot detection warning. AWD system does have some jerky shifting at low speeds. Nav/Info/Entertaintment screen sometimes goes blank. But overall, very happy with this car. It is the top trim, so Im not sure I would feel the same with the lower trims.

More comfortable with better performance than any automobile previously owned. The gas mileage is also much better than anticipated. The Outback has more than adequate power and maneuverability for big city traffic, and it has proven to be a most comfortable automobile for long distance travels as well.

Over 60 years I've bought many cars including VW, Toyota, Acura, and Mercedes. The 2018 Subaru Outback is the best of the lot.

The Subaru Outback offers a blend of two worlds: It’s rugged-looking and capable outside, and it provides just the right balance of comfort and coddling inside.
The Outback blurs the line between wagon and SUV, but it’s more affordable than similarly sized SUVs and just as capable and practical.
Minor updates for the 2018 Subaru Outback make an already good thing better. Subtle styling tweaks — like more angular headlights and a slightly larger grille — maintain the Outback’s clean, unfussy design, while an updated multimedia system and retuned transmission improve usability and drivability. Compare the 2017 and 2018 models here.
The Subaru Outback’s most direct competitor — spiritually if not in size — is the VW Golf Alltrack, another tall wagon with AWD. The Outback also competes against more traditional mid-size SUVs like the Ford Edge and Jeep Cherokee. Compare them here.
While the Outback’s exterior styling doesn’t raise eyebrows, it stands out... Read More
