Total disappointment

My car was not repaired and they charged me. almost a thousand dollars I will have to take it to another place and pay again and they blamed me for not agreeing to have it repaired đŸ˜¡ I would have liked to have recorded the calls with these people to prove what I say

Reliable but self service is hard on this vehicle

If you ever have to change the headlight bulbs you cannot do it easily. There is no easy access to replace the bulbs. Subaru made this car so you have to take off the bumper, remove the wheel well guard and reach blindly into the headlight socket to grab the little bulb and pull it out one handed (again, sight unseen). To get the bulb out there's a little wire hinge that holds it and it's hard to unclasp and reclasp. Again, one handed.

Phenomenal

This car is bigger liter wise than most trucks nowadays. Love the power and does well with installed supercharger. Inside room is great. Looks good and tours far with no problems. I had her overheat for two minutes because of the stop lights in Boise and driving too fast. The warm/hot weather with the AC on will take any engine out. I love my Subaru!

Car is great, but you can't change your front lights without a lift. Dealer broke off a part on the rear hatch, threw the parts in the back and didn't tell me.

Dealer broke off a part on the rear hatch, threw the parts in the back and didn't tell me. Car is great, but you can't change your front lights without a lift. They changed some of the design flaws. PS my daughter was hit broad side in her Subaru Forrester with my grandson as passenger 2 years ago but with the safety equipment in the Subaru they walked away without a scratch. I'm giving the 2010 Outback a low score for the design flaws and my dealers service.

Long time Subaru Owner

Subaru is the originator and go-to for inexpensive, durable AWD vehicles. Have owned Subaru vehicles since 1990. My kids drove Subarus through high school and college. Never been stranded in a Subaru either by the weather or mechanical issues. Some headgasket issues in the early 2000's but Subaru stood by their product. This 2010 is the most refined Subaru yet. Lots of features, plenty of power, quiet. I have the 6 cylinder model. However, DIY on this engine as far as spark plugs is difficult. If you are a DIY'R get the 4 cylinder.

Subaru Outback always reliable

A very reliable car that can be counted on in every season. Great traction in the snow. Handles well on wet pavement. Reasonable amount of power to tow a small utility trailer. Cargo space to haul things when needed.

My baby runs, and stops, like she's NEW!

I love ? my baby so much, and Tolima's made her feel brand new. Such a solid and practical car. I wouldn't trade it for the world, well, maybe for a brand new Subaru Outback. The comfort, style and reliability is so good, and the gas mileage, 37mpg, 305mi, per tank, is pretty darn awesome, especially with today's gas ⛽ prices.

Since the day I bought this out back in 2015 I have absolutely loved driving it owning it and making good use of it! I would highly recommend and have highly recommended the outback to anyone looking for an effective SUV!

Great car.

Best car I have ever owned. Excellent ride and handling also great hauling space. I also am impressed with how little maintenance it has required. I was so happy with the outback my wife got a Legacy for herself.

Owned five since 95 and we like this one the best.

Never had any problems. E brake a real plus. Heater controls could have been better laid out.

A great auto.

I am very satis fied with this vehicle. My mechanic checked it before I bought it and told me to buy it. Best advice I ever had. Initially he was not too keen on purchasing a Subaru but I believe he was judging the older Subarus before they did a complete remodel in "09".

LOVE my Subaru!

I spent a year researching this make and model before I purchased it used in 2014. It was a lease car before I bought it and kept in fantastic condition, with all sorts of bells and whistles I'd never have sprung for on my own. It is immensely reliable, has good pick-up, is incredibly roomy and can handle heavy loads (e.g. hundreds of pounds of soil, concrete pavers, etc.). We've taken it all over the East Coast, up and down mountains, off-road in the UP in Michigan, and through all kinds of snow, ice, etc. We've had only the predictable maintenance costs (e.g. brakes, air filters, etc) and despite living in a snowy region where salt is used on the roads, we have had less than the expected corrosion. Looking at it, you wouldn't know we've put well over 100K miles on it, and we're expecting to get at least 100K more out of it. My next car will be a Subaru for sure. The ONE drawback to this model? The headlights are a pain to replace; one of them can't be replaced at all without putting it up on a jack. And they're finicky, too, which means that they need replacing more often than other cars we've had. This is an unexpected expense, since we have to take it to a garage when one of the two headlights goes out, but even knowing this, I'd get this same model again.

2010 Outback

We love our Outback. It has all the room we need and it gets very good gas mileage (26-33 mpg). We are thinking about replacing it only because the new ones have a lot of features we like and that make it a much safer vehicle. This is our 5th Subaru and there are 5 of them currently in the family.

Long Term Review 2010 Subaru Outback Limited

Very pleased with this vehicle - great car for road trips. On annual trips to Florida (from Poconos of PA) average 34 -36 mpg on regular gas (4 cyl. eng.). This was reading from on-board computer confirmed with manual calculations. I consider myself a conservative driver resulting in brakes and tires lasting 60 to 70K miles. Currently have over 150K on the car with no major issues. Interior still looks like new. Car is easy to get in and out of (we are both senior citizens so that was one of the deciding factors in buying the car). This is our fourth Subaru, but the first three were only front wheel drive vehicles, so it has been a long time since we have owned one (last one was a 1982 GL sedan). Outstanding vehicle!

Piece of S**T!!!

No acceleration power! Always some component malfunctioning even with routine recommended maintenance! We have two Outbacks both with problems including head gasket which is apparently common to Subaru! Honda products are where it’s at!! Never again will I own a Subaru even if it was given to me!!!

We bought this Outback used a year ago with 120k miles, so far we replaced transmission, because original was bad. Besides that car is runs good, it’s worthy for the money we paid. Roomy interior good off-road vehicle, used for all activities

Absolutely marvelous car

Coming up on 10 years of ownership, my 2010 Outback is clearly the best car I've ever owned. IF I ever have to buy another car (and the way this vehicle is going, that may not be necessary), I'll head straight for the nearest Subaru dealer!
