Amazing Car

I was originally in the market for either a Toyota Highlander or a Subaru Ascent. They both have very high ratings. I drove both, and then the Outback. The Outback was so much more comfortable and nimble, and it fit me well. I also like the styling much more than the other cars. It is quick, quiet, handles well, and very very comfortable.

Great New Car

I really love this car. Extremely comfortable, well appointed, and the boxer six engine is very quiet and quite fast. The ride is quite comfortable, and the cargo space is huge.

Just bought a wonderful car!

This car is safe, comfortable and stylish. I meets all of my need. I would recommend this car to a friend. Reeves salesman Dan Garcia provided excellent customer service.

Awesome AWD Luxury vehicle.

It doesn't fail to disappoint me with so many safety features such as full titanium frame upper. Stronger and lighter than steel. Boxer engine, symmetrical all wheel drive.

First new car in 40 years!

Looking for a road trip car with AWD I test drove the Outback. It hit all the marks on my requirements list. I'm looking forward to years of enjoyment and expect the car to be reliable.

Hopefully this subaru will be better than last one

We had trouble with a 2016 Outback idling rough. Subaru couldn't figure it out, after taking it in 16 times. Subaru corp is awful to deal with. They best they will do to help you is offer $1000 toward a new / untitled car, which insulting for trouble the 2016 lemon caused us. The 2019 is a bit quieter and has some nice upgrades in radio system. The CVT transmission is all over the place and not geared well. It hesitates and then goes just a little late. We hope this one will last longer than our 2016 (32,000miles).

New car, just turned 1000 miles

Owned a 2017 Outback Touring with the 2.5. Wanted to get the last year of the 3.6R. A lot of improvements. Quieter, better steering feel, better ride dampening, and improved blind spot warning lights. AC seems to be more efficient.

Great car for a family

I live in a northern city. This car handles great in snow and makes me feel safe and secure. Important for a family. It is comfortable, with enough back seat room for kids and car seats. Plus, plenty of storage room for trips to the cabin. I've owned three Outbacks and it has been one of the most reliable vehicles I've ever owned.

New 2019 Outback

Elk Grove Subaru: I was amased at how easy it has become to trade in and purchase a new vehicle. My purchase was through the Internet department. Do your homework before hand. I traded in my older Outback for a new one and drove off all in the same day. Suggestion, if trading-in get a CarMax estimate beforehand and present to dealership. They should honor it, if not walk a way! I very pleased with my experience everyone was friendly and courteous and worked to meet my needs. Love all the new technology, makes driving much easier and safer.

Great Vehicle

The Outback is so much car for the money. The comfort and the interior space is amazing and it comes with so many standard features. Love the styling.
