Subaru Outback 1996-2018Change

Bought used 2 years old. General maintenance done. 3 wheel bearings replaced and normal brake repairs. Wouldn't buy anything else to replace it. 150000kms

I've had this car for the last five years and I do have to say it's perfect for everything I like to do and my daily travels. I love traveling in and out of the country and the fuel economy makes this possible without breaking the bank. So much room is in this car that even with the seats filled it doesn't feel like a tight fit. The interior is not the swankiest although all it takes is some personal touch and design (ie. seat covers, mats, wheel cover, etc.). This car is perfect for all seasons and warms up so fast in the winter with the heated seats to keep warm. The trunk is very large as well. I've never had a problem with my Subaru and I love it.

Bought this car because I needed something more grown up and professional then my pick up truck, it is, and it handles the road just as good!

I'm so glad i got a Subaru. It's reliable and fun to drive. I have never had a car that i could reply on and I will always purchase Subarus in the future.

I've had this car for 5 1/2 years and found it very reliable. No major problems, although the few repairs have been rather expensive. More comfortable than my last car – a Volvo wagon. Really good in snow, without winter tires. Great heater. Excellent clearance for back roads. Lots of storage space, especially with one or both rear seat sections folded down. My only beef is the poor rear visibility that makes backing up difficult.

Bought this car last year and fell in love right away. There is so much space inside and plenty of trunk/hatchback room for our dog as well. We love the design of the interior and exterior and the roof racks are an added bonus! It is a comfortable ride (even in the back seat!) and id fantastic for taking long trips. The individual climate control, heated seats, back up camera and the push button rear lift gate are some of my favorite features. I would buy another one when mine is paid for, best car I have ever owned. Could have better gas milage but its a big car and 6 cylinder engine so it is right about where you would expect, about 10 km/100 L. Only complaint is that the small rear windows in the very back dont open. This would be a nice feature for my dog :)

We are very pleased with this vehicle. We now have 60,000 km on the car. We have found it to be a comfortable ride - and the luggage capacity is all we need for our road trips. We do have snow tires installed for Canadian winters - and have been happy with the way the vehicle performs on snow. Our initial concern about a smaller 4 cyl engine rather than a 6 was unfounded - and we are pleased with the increased fuel economy. When the lease ends, we plan to lease another.

Great car. Still going strong @ 350,000km! Decent gas mileage and awesome AWD is great in the winter months.

Fell in love from day one. Although I gave up a hemi I gained nearly double the mileage. I only have the 4 cylinder and wasn't after acceleration (which is good because it aint real peppy).

I could go on and on, but won't. Am I happy I made the trade to a smaller vehicle? Yes

Am I overall happy with a Subaru? Yes!

Would I recommend Subaru or buy another? Yes!

Very happy with my Outback. This is my 2nd Subaru owned. I had a Forester for 12 years. Expecting my Outback to last that long. Very comfortable driving position and firmness on the road.
Also very reliable.

Ive owned it for a few years now and have not had any problems except for regular maintenance. It rides smoothly has ample amount of power for passing and is an absolute dream during the winter.

Bought this car used a few years ago. As long as you keep the rust at bay, Subarus last forever, so it's a good investment. Works well, drives well.

Fuel efficiency is very good for an all wheel drive vehicle. Seats are comfortable which makes for an enjoyable ride. I am planning on upgrading to a new Outback with eyesight.

We have been very pleased with this car. Its 4 wheel drive all the time; performance in winter snow conditions is great. The extra technologu package with lane departure warnings, adaptive cruise cotnrol, automatic braking when too close to an object - wonderful safety features. THis is our first experience with subaru and we would definitely buy again

Let's just start with the obvious: this car ROCKS in the snow! I live in Ottawa and use my car for work. I have to park on the street which means during snowstorms I sometimes come out to the car buried under a foot of snow. I clear it off, get in, and drive away like it's nothing!

Performance is decent with the 2.5L 4-cylinder engine and 5-speed manual but let's just say you won't be beating many people off the line unless you really push it. Fuel economy is very disappointing. Averages 13.0L /100km around town which isn't great for a 4 cylinder but I suppose this is a midsize car so I can't complain much. Good mileage on the highway though: 8.5L /100km. I tow a 1,000 lb camping trailer with this car and you can barely tell the trailer is there. On big hills the engine definitely struggles though.

I'm the second owner of this car and it has low mileage on the odometer, 196,000k. I've had to replace a wheel bearing, the steering column and the transmission! NO ONE should have to replace the transmission on a 12 year old Japanese car. I must say I'm very disappointed with my purchase of this car. After driving two unreliable American brand cars I had much higher expectations for this car.

While it does go a lot of KMS, brakes and front drive shafts not great. Also, flat engine makes tune ups a pain. All the interior stuff still works. Not comfy on long trips and low headroom. Stupid cup holder arrangement. Just ok on gas. Awesome in bad weather. We had it in Alberta and coped with the lack of plowing no problem.

This is our 7th Subaru vehicle we have owned. We have owned this 2009 Subaru Outback 2.5i LTD AWD vehicle for 4 years and have thoroughly been satisfied with all aspects of this vehicle with the exception that the Gas mileage could be a lot better, more leg room would help and lower the new car price to be more competitive and affordable!

Second owner, this is a very sporty, safe and reliable vehicle. Well engineered and seems to be designed for travelling comfort. We have taken this car on short trips of several hours and it is pleasant to drive and travel in. Definitely a 5* vehicle for us.

Normally, I have changed vehicles every 2-4 years. This has been a favorite from the first time I drove it. It has been the best vehicle to get me through snow filled streets in comfort.

Superior handling, especially for winter driving. Very safe, holds the road really well in turns, and brakes fast and straight. Comfortable leather seats, lots of storage room with back seats reclined. Non-skid mat keeps stored items stable. Heat and air conditioning keep the interior very comfortable. Especially appreciate the heated front seats in cold weather.

We took delivery of our 2016 Outback Limited 3.6R a couple of weeks ago. Very nice vehicle overall. One misconception is the tires that came with the vehicle. Right up to the time we took delivery we were under the impression from 2015 Limited models and website tire information that it was due to have Goodyear Eagles but instead it came with the lesser tires of the Touring model (Goodrich Duelers). So the performance is not as good and the snow and wet traction reviews on the Goodrich are not even close to the Goodyear. I assume the reason is the Dealerships get the customers to purchase snow tire packages. In my eyes not a good move.

Purchased new in 2000. This is the best vehicle I have owned. It has 261,000 km. 2.5 liter engine, AWD. It has never failed me. Very reliable, does not burn oil or leak oil. Front drive axles replaced a year ago. Body has rust above rear wheels. Interior showing age. Front seats electrically heated. No problems with transmission, engine, cooling system. Dealer serviced for most of it's life.

bought the 6 speed. Three years out, have to replace the transmission. My last vehicles' transmission lasted more than 10 years so it isn't driver malfunction.

Within one month of buying the car, the blue tooth bit the dust.

10 months after purchase, the steering wheel stereo controls started not working sometimes. 2 years later, none of the stereo controls on the steering wheel still work and the cruise control buttons are starting to crap out.

Who cares if all this is still covered under warranty, a brand new car should not spend this much time in the shop.

Excellent! Nice outlook, safe drive, spacious inside, Super valued ! Own it without regret! No other SUV can surpass.
