Fantastic vehicle

I bought my 2011 Outback in 2021. This was one of the best purchases I've ever made. It had a incredible mileage ( 24,000) and every bolt on the car shined like brand new. The car is loaded with features and everything works great including the BT audio and I got a great deal on this car

Love it!

From the moment I sat in the car and test drove it, I was sold. I love my Subaru! Over 100,000 miles and still no major issues. I bought it new and always said it will be my last car. So far, it has proven me right.

Love this car

My Subaru (2011 outback) runs great and has almost 150,000 miles. Have done routine maintenance and very little else besides replacing tires/battery---the usual stuff. My granddaughter (14 years old) asked me to give her my car when I get a new one. I think I might be ready in 2 years to do that. She says my car always smells good (the leather seats?) and she loves it. I will definitely get another Subaru!!

2011 Outback

This car has met most of my needs and has been comfortable do drive. After 6 years it still drives and handles the same way it did when it was new.

2011 subaru outback

Love this car! Very spacious without being bulky. Comfort and versatile. I go from hauling kidos to soccer practice- to grabbing project supplies at home depot- to across country trip or camping for an entire week and the biggest challenge we all face.... Loading up after a costco run!

2011 Subaru Outback

I love everything about my Subaru except for being able to see out the back window. That was a criticism of it in reviews before I bought it, but the back up camera was an extra and it came with a package which included a skylight, which I did not want. However, in hindsight, it might have been worth the expense. Other than that, it has been and still is a wonderful car to drive.

Good basic car

I like Subarus because they are safe, generally don’t need a lot of maintenance and they aren’t fancy. They handle well. I love the tight turning radius. I can get a lot of stuff in the car. The HVAC system is problematic. In the winter I basically have to run the defrost all the time. The sun roof leaks into the car, if you don’t have the drains flushed. Which I always forget to do til it leaks every winter. The seats aren’t the most comfortable. I have to put pillows on the seat and the back rest to be comfortable.

Love it!

I love my Subaru!! Thought I wouldn't like being so far off the ground in a car but I do. Once you've driven a Subaru you well always miss them if you go to something else.

Reliable vehicle.

Reliable vehicle that runs well. Typical maintenance expenses except for timing belt. This is true if all makes if 4 cylinder vehicles. They should find a way to make the timing belt last longer or design it so it can be replaced cheaper. Also, these engines have a tendency to need head gaskets. Head gaskets should last the life of the car. The headlights are not adjustable and I cannot see well with the low beams. Headlights are also very hard to change. I have a 2011 outback

Went to buy a new 2020 of the same model, decided to keep my 2011, like it more than the new one.

240K miles and still like Subaru enough to want a new one. Although recent repairs had me looking, the 2020 model eliminated the V6 and implemented "start/stop" technology. The turbo was big, clunky and noisy. Maybe in a year or so when they refine things. Meanwhile, I'm keeping this one and have a great shop that can repair it.

Outback vs Forester

I just recently purchased my 2011 Outback Legacy and really like the "luxury" it gives me compared to my little 05 Forester. The Forester is just basic X trim whereas the Outback is loaded. The forester is noisy, the Outback quiet and much smoother ride. But I like them both. I haven't had any problems with the Forester since I bought it. It is very reliable and I hope the Outback will give me the same reliability.

Would not buy another one!

Comfortable ride but no power in the 4-cylinder!! Differential problems that are so expensive to fix because of the way it’s built into the AWD feature so it means the car is worthless for resale or trade-in because you apparently need a whole new transmission if the differential goes bad!! Honda is the only way to go!!

Constant exhaust issues.

I have had constant exhaust issues with my outback. The catalytic blew out. Then the pipie split. Twice the cheap metal has ripped at the mounting bracket. It also had a constant rattle at acceleration. I'm getting our fixed four the 5th time send getting this off it. Back seat is uncomfortable on long trips

Subaru Outback repairs

Needs headlights constantly. Other bulbs burn out quickly also. Radiator and transmission have been replaced. It’s always something. Poor dealership support. They are unaware of all recalls. And there are many
