Design quality / performance

I put a lot of highway miles on my commuter vehicles. Driven at freeway speeds 90% of the time. Added traction is a plus compared to other vehicles I considered for this duty, but it is no Grand Cherokee on a snowy grade. This is a very well built, economical and reliable ride. Only 2 criticisms - 1. Hard to locate garage door buttons on the mirror especially in the dark. 2. Must actively saw the wheel on some road surfaces or in a cross wind , especially in the rain. Less noticeable with additional on-board weight. Otherwise, I got what I expected. Its not a Jeep, a sports car or an orphan with compromised design intent. It economical and a nice all weather solution with comfort for back seat passengers and room to bring gear on extended trips.

We love it!

We have always been Lincoln, Ford, Mercury people and I,myself, have always driven a van or a truck. I was not certain that I would like the Subaru, but you had a crackerjack sales rep., Frankie de la Has, that talked us into trying one and while it wasn't love at first site - it came that way a few weeks later! This will probably be our last car purchase and it has been one of the best!

I love my Subaru Outback!

I have always wanted a Subaru. I know people that have driven the same Subaru for decades. I hope to own this one for a long time.

well rounded

It does nearly everything very well. The 3.6 engine is very powerful and gets good mileage. Mountain passes, hills, and passing are so easy.

The go everywhere sewing machine

I have a 3.6R. Sewing machine sound but it reallyruns well, rides well, everything works, very quiet. Utility is high. Quality of build high. Sound system good. Seats great. Weakness, silly lack of all door opening option. Silly at this level, a Limited, no passenger 8 to 10 way seat adjustment. Head lamps difficult to change and frequently burn out in about 12-18 months.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery

Ever notice how many look-alikes are out in the market now to Subarus? Ford Focus, Mitsubishi Endeavor, Honda H-RV, Kia - finally carmakers are figuring out that there's a demand for all-wheel drive and cargo space. There's a reason every 4th car in the mountains is an Outback. This is our 2nd, previously had a 2001, many comfort improvements in the interior since then but still an agile and able car. Can't go wrong with an Outback unless you need to haul a lot of people or tow heavy stuff.

Great Car

This is all around the best car I've ever owned. It gets great gas mileage, is very low maintenance, has good space for family of four and luggage, handles great in all types of weather and looks great too.

Best vehicle ever!

I am in love with my 2012 Subaru Outback! Such a reliable, long lasting vehicle. I highly recommend it to everyone. Great gas mileage too! I actually just recommended it to someone two days ago who was trying to decide between an Outback or a BMW and next thing I know, they purchased an Outback yesterday and told me they love it already! If you're thinking about buying an Outback just do it, you won't regret it.
