Outstanding

Purchased for safety and cost to own but soon realized it really does perform and is fun to drive. I cannot ignore the fact that our Salesperson, Mary Bevin was so knowledgeable and gave us such great direction that when we drove our new Subaru home, the vehicle felt more like an old friend. The level of security that we feel behind the wheel is second to none. We purchased the model with the new eyesight technology. That, along with the many other safety features that come standard on all Subaru's, make this automobile a must on today's highways.

Perfect non-SUV

Thought I needed the height of an SUV but this cross-over has all that and better visibility with the many windows. New-gen safety features are great. Great mileage..all the power Id ever need. Glad I finally switched.

I love my Subaru Outback Limited!

It is just what I need at this point in my life. The Eye Assist was extremely important. Having the GPS, synced phone and cameras were important as well.

Love my new 2018 Subaru Outback!

First and foremost, I believe the Outback is the safest vehlcle for my family. Love the technology and the mileage is terrific. (In the mid 30?s on a trip). It is fun to drive. The interior noise level is almost non existent, the ride is very smooth, and I like being high in the cockpit!

Surprised I Picked This Car

I had picked 5 cars to test drive, my husband put this one on the list, I told him I didn?t want to even consider it. After driving my 5, I was surprised, that this car out preformed all the others I drove.. the power & handling was amazing, plus it had so many extra features & I love the color! The only bad part was having to admit, my husband picked the clear winner of what I wanted in a car!

Great car!

I love my new Subaru! In addition to the expected great handling and reliability, I love the Apple Car Play, convenient USB ports, and levers that make putting the back seats down super easy. Plan to have this car for many years to come.

Fun to drive

Nice roomy car that makes me WANT to drive in Los Angeles. Many great features in the Limited/Starlink package that I'm still exploring.
