2020 Subaru Outback consumer reviews

This car is so Beautiful and handles so nicely!! The interior is a beautiful brown leather! I want to take a road trip because I love my car so much!

This is our 2nd outback. We have a 2010 Outback, and a 2014 Crosstrek XV. Obviously, we're sold on Subarus. This is much refined over the 2010, very quiet, rides well, soaks up bumps, lots of bells and whistles, very happy.

First time owner 2020 Subaru Outback Limited Nice job Subaru for building such a beautiful Outback. I must say this 2020 Outback Limited is really a joy, with great ride comfort, roominess front and back, leather seats, moon roof, quiet ride, great responsiveness, excellent 4 wheel traction, just a wonderful wagon mechanically... I’d give it a full 5. I even like its stop/start feature and good mpg, love the Eye Sight features, pre collision warnings, wireless charger, and driver alert functions, haven’t yet tried X-mode. Where it falters (why 4 rather than 5) is in its electronics, sensors assistance that I find faulty, even annoying. Here Subaru needs work to make their use more transparent and intuitive. I like their adaptive cruise, and blind spot, but backup and cross traffic seem weak. Having come from a 2017 Ford Escape Titanium with similar features, I think Ford did a better job in its electronics (not to mention rain sensing wipers, self parking, front and side sensors, none of which I have on my new wagon), though Subaru beats them on design and comfort. Where I found difficult was in its multifunction 11.6” screen, hard to navigate with multiple layers to find what sought for. I finally was able to track down what I needed in their (four) driver’s manuals, like setting correct volumes for beeps and dings in onboard sensors (the backup sensor was barely audible per default settings, while navigation prompts and lane centering alerts screamed at me). Nor was it easy to understand what the authors of those manuals had in mind, did they cross-check their indexes? Very hard to find stuff, and then finally when found with little explanation of what function is. So the tech side, though mostly works beautifully, is just badly laid out and difficult to decipher. Otherwise, once you finally are able to make it work right, this Outback is a real joy. I just wished Subaru did better on their manuals, slim them down with simplicity and cross-referencing. (They might want to contact people at Apple or Ford for a leg up?) So overall only a 4 rating. But upgrade those techs and this Outback is definitely a 5!

Improved seats, quieter cabin, better safety features, AM/FM reception needs improving, Start/Stop feature VERY ANNOYING, glove box very TINY even with those minuses i give it 4.7/5 Acceleration good, MPG very good (2.5Leng) OEM tires actually DECENT very surprised

This is my first Subaru and I am pleased with its safety features. It handles well, and exterior camera system provides excellent driver visual support.

This car was for my wife based on what she wanted. When she is happy the whole family is happy! So far this car has made her very happy.

I’ve owned the 2020 Outback Ltd for three weeks. Great car. After owning several Infiniti sedans it was time for a change. (Time to ditch the annoying run-flat tires). We also tested Honda’s and Toyota’s. The Subaru was the most comfortable, best handling and most room for the money. I don’t use the lane changing features. And the engine on/off at stop lights feature has become annoying, but I’ve found a way to by-pass it by using less pressure on the brake pedal. A lighter pressure doesn’t shut off the engine. I don’t miss the extra power of the Infiniti’s engine. The standard non turbo Subaru engine has plenty of pep up to 45 mph for me. Above that it’s a little anemic in comparison, but $2500 for the Subaru turbo was not worth the $. The Subaru ride is much smoother than any of the cars we tested and including the Infiniti! I was also influenced by several friends who own Outbacks.

The perfect car for my wife and I. All the safety features are very impressive. Would recommend this vehicle to anyone that wants reasonable performance, great gas mileage, and safety features.

This is my fourth Subaru Outback that I have owned. I am highly satisfied with these vehicles. They are very reliable and comfortable. I would recommend taking one for a test drive and see for yourself!

I have yet to find anything i dont like about my Subaru. My son purchased one last year and talked me into buying one after sitting in his. My sister in Wyoming is on her 5th Subaru also. Living outside of Cheyenne she has never had a problem getting around in their winters
