Performance, excellent.

In winter this vehicle truly holds the road. Off road the performance is exceptional. I have tented windows in the back that’s a plus really hard to see in. The back windows go all the way down . I love it.

Best Car I’ve Ever Had

Bought this car on my birthday in 2013. My dream car. It’s never let me down in any weather conditions. No major engine or mechanical issues to date. I’m following the recommended service schedule. It continues to sit and ride comfortably, as well as provide plenty of room for four passengers besides the driver. The best part is that it has more cargo room than most SUV’s. I hope to hit 200K miles at least.

Our Outback saved our family

We were at the front end of a horrific 7 car accident on an LA freeway a couple of years ago with our kids in the backseat and our Subaru Outback saved our lives. We actually had another car land on top of us while being struck by other cars moving at high speed. Firefighters and CHP made a point to tell us that our car was the reason we all survived. We will always drive Subaru vehicles and so will our family. Thank you Subaru. ❤️

Forever Car

This is the most reliable car I’ve ever owned. Repair costs have been minimal. It’s comfortable, rides well and has served us well in the snowy days in The mountains of California and the heat of Florida.

Mechanically sound car

150,000 miles and still going. No major issues, following routine maintenance guide regularly. All wheel drive never left us in the snow,. If your into kayaking, or bicycling, get the roof racks and trailer hitch option.

Owning it.

(former mechanic for over 50 years). Buy this vehicle for someone that you love if you want them in a safe, dependable, low maintenance vehicle. We have owned this vehicle for six years now and have had no issues with it whatsoever. I do the preventive maintenance on all our vehicles and the Subaru takes a substantial amount of knowledge of the vehicle to maintain but well worth it.

Reliable safe car

Easy to care and handle. Very responsive during drive . Great torque and power. However , Subaru is always hungry for oil . The older it gets, the more oil I need to put in between the schedule maintenance.

Outback

My car is great and does awesome in frozen weather / snowy roads / and severe weather. It is also very comfortable and feels smooth like a full size SUV. My only discontent is the AC unit which does not feel very cold even on high. Everything else is great.

Great car! Just wish it hadn't gotten so big

I am a loyal Subaru owner. It's the only car I've driven for many, many years. My Outbacks have never failed to just drive through plowed up snow so I can get to work. It's a great car, and I will probably always be a Subaru owner. I owned a 2003 Outback until last year. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 , is the size of the newer Outbacks. I like the smaller size of the older versions better. There really was no need to go bigger...it's not always better! My old Subaru could fit into many small spaces, but unfortunately this one can't. If it weren't for that, I'd be giving my Outback 5 stars! (That and the prices are getting pretty high for anything above the very basic)

Reliable car

Lacks in ease of entry. The grab handle above the drivers door is in a position that makes it impossible to use for a person with disabilities. Lacks some basic features a car of this price should have. Power seats. Side detection. 2013 limited. Should not cut corners in safety and quality. Should not install worthless feature just to say they have them. (Grab handles).

Secure handling

Two negatives are the instrument buttons that are small and to close together that require taking your eyes off the road to find and use them. Also, road noise while driving even after having quiet rated tires installed.

Solid but not my fun car

The Outback gets me where I want or need to go in winter and has the pulling power for a trailer loaded with wood. AWD and the winter package with heated seats and the moon roof are great. The rear view camera bit the dust, and the replacement is a poor substitute. I just miss the standard shift which is no longer an option. And the newer Foresters, if it have a standard shift, have a lower towing capacity than my older models. So for fun I drive a 16 year-old VW diesel with over 200 K. The Outback will never make it that far in VT, especially with road brine in winter. I researched cars, and this was my best choice for now. But mpg is a disappointment.

We're a Subaru poster family

The Subaru Outback (ours is a 2013), works almost perfectly for our now-family of two empty nesters with an Australian Shephard. The cargo space is the right size for a medium-large crate in which to transport the dog, the mechanics are reliable, and, while not super-zippy with its 4-cylinder engine, it can cruise at 80 mph if necessary with no trouble.

2013 Outback mixed review.

Except for replacing the transmission at 117500 miles, and the complicated part that governs the horn, turn signal indicator etc., it’s been great Transmission was done by a dealer shop. $7500. Subaru America picked up 2/3 and supplied a rental for the week. The clock switch assembly under the steering wheel was $417, done by my trusted local mechanical shop. Those seemed extraordinary items. Otherwise we like the way it drives, holds a lot of stuff, and goes great in the snow at our mountain cabin. ?

Subaru Outback

Our 2013 Subaru Outback has 213,000 miles and we bought it new. We have maintained the vehicle to excellent standards. The maintenance expenses have averaged less than $50 a month including tires. I fully expect to get another 100,000 or more out of this car.

Transmission failure at 125,000 miles

Unfortunately, my 2013 Subaru Outback had a failed transmission after the warranty had expired and the replacement cost was more than the value of the car. I definitely wanted to be a Subaru fan but this issue along with nearly 20 light bulb replacements and a leaky upper oil pan, I can't recommend to a friend to purchase the same year and model that I had. The expense to repair these items makes the car not affordable to own.

Deterioration was rapid

Car was fine for 8 years then things started to go wrong especially the transmission. Cost $1700 last year and this year I was told I need a new transmission. I researched and found Subaru Outback’s between 2010-2015 had transmission problems. I just bought a Toyota RAV4
