Saying goodbye to Ford after 25 years

I have driven Ford cars for 25 years. I was really impressed by my aunt's Outback Touring and decided to think outside my loyalty to the blue oval. I test drove a Limited twice and opted to lease one. The seats are comfortable, spacious trunk area, super quiet ride, safety features galore! Safety features and AWD were my reasons for looking outside of Ford. My auto insurance rates dropped because of Subaru's safety features. Super easy to install my daughter's carseat too!

My first car purchase.

After driving a straight stick for 60 years, I was hesitant to buy an automatic. As it turns out, it is so easy to drive and so comfortable. My fears have been laid to rest. My only complaint is I don't have anything to do now but enjoy its performance!

This car handles very well

I'm used to having more space to set things down between the front seats. For example I enjoy listening to books on CD but there is no where to set down the case between seats

2019 Subaru Outback you can see at night.

You get this dark shield half way down your windshield. It sucks and is a big safety issue. It?s very dangerous. You can only see out of the car at night with high beams on.

Great Looking & quicker than expected 3.6R

I like 95% of everything about this Outback. it needs more of a pleasing design on the console (Very Plain) and the fact the radio comes on when I start the car, no way to program it otherwise. I found that odd. I liked the exterior and color, like the interior design, mostly, rear liftgate button and gas cover release are in an odd place. I was very pleased with the performance and handling

Fun to drive

Many options, very good safety features, 6cyl had good power, rather small back seats (leg room), enjoyed driving it. Will be buying one when our color comes in.

Happily Back to Being a Subaru Forester Owner

Bought a Crosstrek in February and traded it on for the Forester. The Crosstrek had no ability to carry anything in the back trunk area. Could not fit one golf bag without putting down the back seat. The Forester in comparison can hold 3 golf bags and 3 carts easily and it is a far better ride than the Crosstrek. The Forester ,for not a lot more money, is a much better value.
