Fourth Subaru and second Outback

It meets my needs living in a snowy mountainous environment. Outstanding performance in snow and ice conditions. Very safe feeling vehicle. Last one required only preventive maintenance.

Great looking vehicle

After many weeks of research, the Subaru was the vehicle that we purchased because of its appearance, performance and reliability. We are looking forward to driving this vehicle on the highway and in the snow.

Best ever

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

think it has the highest safety rating in vehicle

probably best vehicle I have bought, Subaru has come a long way over the last few years, pretty sure most people who test drive one and have a knowledgeable sales rep will buy it and have a great vehicle with lower than expected insurance cost because of the safety record of this brand, what's not to like all wheel drive and 30 plus mpg highway miles

A major advance in refinement.

I have had many Subarus. The improvement in interior quality, and in the infotainment suite, is remarkable. The eyesight safety suite is great as well. Finally, I was skeptical regarding the 3.6. It turns a really good vehicle ibto a terrific one.

Great vehicle

Great car - the exterior styling is good, a bit too much chrome though. It has all the bells and whistles - front and 2nd row heated seats, infotainment system / Apple CarPlay, navigation, power front seats and the eyesight technology is truly amazing! I?ve tested it and it?s quite remarkable! The adaptive Cruz control is a wow factor! You certainly can take you foot off of the pedals, but it?s not designed for complete removal of the driver yet!

Said goodbye to my Acura and haven't looked back

The overall quality is amazing. There was attention paid to detail. Love the Eye Sight, large touch screen and Apple Play. Also love I no longer have to purchase premium unleaded.
