Most safery features I have ever had

Safe, safe, safe. Eyesight technology is amazing! Lots of room for passengers and plenty of cargo space. Can’t wait to tackle winter roads! Best choice I have made for vehicles in a while.

Looked at another car, but decided on the Subaru

We were looking for a new car as a replacement for our 2010 Outback with 225,000 miles on it. This 2019 Outback provided everything we were wanting in a new car.

Great AWD car

This is my second Outback, it handles off-roading very well and has plenty of ground clearance (after all, it is a car not an SUV). It gets great gas mileage for an AWD vehicle this size (it is a 4 cylinder, but stills has plenty of pep), and it handles the corners like a sports car. The seats are very comfortable, it has all the new safety features and one of the best safety ratings out there. It is also a bit more stylish than it's predecessors and was a great value for the money. Love It!

First 500 Miles on Outback Touring

Overall very pleased with everything about the car. Extremely comfortable and glad we got the bigger engine. Waiting for that first snow and/or ice situation!

Excellent vehicle.

I previously owned a Subaru Outback for 15 years. Love their reliability in all kinds of weather. My dogs love it and I loved it. So bought a 2019 Subaru Outback. Love the lumbar support and comfortable ride, adaptive cruise control and blind spot monitoring. Also, the power tailgate. It is a little higher than the old 2003 Subaru, and I like that too. Easier to get in also.

Subaru owner for life

My first new car was a 2011 Subaru Impreza. I am not the ecstatic owner of a 2019 Subaru Outback. All the reliability and fun of my Impreza in a grown up, way smarter and more refined taller body. I couldn’t be happier.

Subaru saved my life!

I owned a 2018 Outback Touring model with 8000 miles and was rear-ended on the interstate by a tractor trailer going 70 miles per hr and I walked away unhurt. I immediately ordered the exact same car but a 2019 model. The eye-sight technology stopped me from colliding with a car which crossed over the lane in front of me and incurring front end damage and air bag deployment. Amazingly the passenger compartment was totally intact and the only damege which was major was in the rear end storage section and a large impact craft below the front bumper.

Our first Subaru

I have been sold on Subarus quality and reliability for the past 40 years, but have only recently purchased one, a new 2019 Outback. We have been a Toyota family since the early 80's (10 Toyotas). We looked at other makes when the Toyota models crept up in size every time a new version was introduced. We just took delivery of the Outback a few days ago, and can't honestly comment on the reliability of this car. My 5-star reliability rating is for my observed experience of other Subaru owners.
