worth it

The outback is built to last, comfortable to drive and overall the best vehicle I have ever owned. Worth the price.

Subaru vs. 25 years of Audi's

Drove Audi's 25 years. Due to retirement and fixed income needed car not as expensive to fix. Bought 2014 Subaru....OK rating. Upgraded to 2016 to get new "creature comforts" such as power hatchback lift, rear heated seats, better visiability. Love the decreased wind noise vs the 2014--handling tighter. Better visability on passenger side with dash somewhat lower than 2014. What would make this a 5 star car is passenger seat having position changes of up and down, not just forward and backward since sometimes I'm not the primary driver.

Great Vehicle

Needed a practical, comfortable, economical car as we have retired. It has hit well on all points. Got the premium model with Eye Sight. Love the adaptive cruise control and blind spot monitor. The controls are easy to use, seats are exceptionally comfortable. Has a lot of room for passengers and cargo. All wheel drive improves safety in rain and snow. Only negative, had to replace battery as it is too small, had to jump start a couple times, replaced with larger size, no more issues.It is no wonder Subaru is selling as many Outbacks they can build, great vehicle.

Great vehicle

My wife researched vehicles prior to our move from Missouri to Idaho. She selected this vehicle for us. I am glad that she did so. I do have a few comments as well. The voice recognition on the navigation system is just about useless, so if I am moving, I cannot use voice commands to help me navigate. Hopefully, this has been improved since 2016. In many other applications from 2016, including medical dictation, voice recognition powered by Dragon Naturally Speaking, does a far better job of converting the spoken work to commands.

Review of my 2o16 Subaru Outback

I love my 2016 Subaru Outback. It is very reliable. It drives well in all conditions. My bicycle, golf clubs, and a month of traveling gear can all fit inside the car. I love the technology, especially the warning signal when I am backing up and and a person or vehicle I cannot see is approaching from the side or is behind me as well as the warning signal of cars in my blind spot. I have two complaints about my car. 1. The forward looking cameras, from time to time, go off-line for a minute or two and then come back on, usually at night or in inclement weather. This is dangerous when the cruise control is on. 2. The soundproofing is not very good. Lots of road noise. I still love my car.

Great car except for frequently discharged battery from minimal electrical drain situations.

This is my third Outback, but the first with all of the safety features. From the time of our purchase of this new vehicle we have had periodic dead batteries from what should have been minor drain on it. For example, rear compartment dome light left on for an hour or so. I've replaced the battery twice and bought a portable battery jump device. The jumper battery works great, but shouldn't be necessary. A passenger window works intermittently, but otherwise this car with 106,000 miles has been great.

It’s a winner!

It’s been a great car with a couple of hiccups, but all in all I want in the car for seven years it’s been a year a nice car to maintain and to drive. My only complaint is I’ve always had trouble with the radio for some reason it has its own mind and does things when just it’s out of the blue so I brought it in a couple of times, but never really got any resolution.

Nice Car with Poor Quality

Love the comfort and features, but too many issues with low miles. So far after 46k miles the CVT Pump and rear bearings are bad. Now today says the seat is torn.... I am Honda person and now appreciate their superior quality even more.
