Superior Vehicle

We purchased our Outback at Parker Subaru in CDA last August. It was put to the test when we took a short road trip from the Seattle area to visit friends and have our vehicle's 1st maintenance checkup. We drove back in an extreme winter storm over the Snoqualmie pass in blizzard conditions and it handled flawlessly. It was chains only except AWD and could not have been more pleased. We just wish we had discovered Subaru years ago!

2020 Outback

Vehicle is otherwise great but touchscreen design and controls poorly thought out and confusing. Secondary settings change all on their own. Automatic steering functions unpredictable. Subaru remote control functions were unreliable from day one. Took months to fix it.

2020 Outback Touring, non-turbo

The most comfortable car I have ever been in—including limo's, town cars, Mercedes S class. Drove a 1000 miles in one shot. Twice. Realized that I never needed to shift in my seat...because usually you do in long drives. But never needed do. Even shifted just because I thought I should...because 'that's what you do.' Confirmed. Not necessary. The thing was also effortless to drive—straight as an arrow. Quiet, smooth, relaxed. About 30.5 mpg on the 2300 mile trip. Mostly highway doing 65-70mph. The thing drips with technology. The center display is full of menus—maybe too many. Wish I could opt for no engine off'ing at stop lights. Save VERY little gas and I'm thinking that the starter motor life cycle MUST be taking a real hit. Anyway, pluses and minuses. Safe and all that but, at some point as you learn about as much tech as you can stomach, I just want to 'set it and forget it.' Just drive it. Also worry about all the computer fails and glitches that will inevitably show their faces. Glad we did not get the turbo. Fun for the test drive but didn't want to pay for it, then insure it, then pay in mileage and wear and tear on the engine. Never miss any power when getting on any freeway, etc. Lastly, almost a side note: We live where it snows and ices. Thought the tires would be better than they are—even if they aren't winter tires. So, getting winter tires and wheels to make up for it.

Mixed reaction

A mixture of good and bad design & implementation. If I had it to do over, I might not buy it again.

Subaru outback 2020

I like everything except I want to turn off the Start/Stop feature permanently. I hate it and turning it off every time I start the car is frustrating and something I should not have to do.

New Subaru Outback Limited XT

This is an awesome car. It is so quiet and the ride is so smooth. I just sold my 2010 Subaru Outback and loved its ride, but it was no match for the new one. Looking forward to driving this one for the next 10+ years.

2020 Outback Onyx

The Outback has become the Subaru standard and just keeps getting better. The turbo-boxer is really a dream to drive. The car gets to 60-plus with hardly any effort. It's very quiet and very comfortable. Great, solid car.

Six months in I still look forward to each time I get to drive this car, and my only serious complaint is with Android Auto's broken navigation.

Love my Outback, other than Android Auto. It handles the difficult road at home with aplomb, including during a big snow "event" and is comfortable, handles nicely, holds all the stuff I've needed to carry. The blind spot monitoring and auto-braking/anti-collision are fabulous and they do work - every car should have them. Lane keeping is nice too, perhaps less critical if you pay attention, but comforting when you don't. As a smaller person I found the Outback to be easier to enter/exit than some competitors, and the seating position and visibility was preferable. Originally I scoffed at the powered lift-gate but now I depend on it. I've gotten used to the media/radio features and the touch-screen. My only major complaint is that Android Auto's navigation doesn't work reliably - I get better results with the phone by itself than plugged into the car - but my old car didn't have Android or GPS, so I'm no worse off, just disappointed. My second complaint is that Subaru, like all brands these days, went overboard with the touch-screen features. Some things such as fan controls *need* to be tactile buttons, as do radio tuning buttons (although one can "scroll" with buttons on the steering wheel). And I gave up on Sirius XM because it drops out under tree cover (like around where I live) but that's a Sirius thing, not specific to Subaru. I shopped for quite awhile before selecting my Outback (my second Subaru). I think the car is great, some of the electronic doodah enhancements (Android, Sirius) are disappointing. But I bought it as a car first, and as a car for getting me and my stuff around, safely and comfortably, absolutely top marks.

perfect for us

I have only had the car for a few hours. Long enough to drive home to Redmond from Gresham. It handles very well and I enjoyed the ride. In traffic and on the open road it was outstanding.

Super vehicle

This car has it all. Might even have too many features--haha. we gave our daughter our 2011 and she is crazy about it and our 2020 is way more car than the 2020, beautiful ,FAST and comfortable. Dealership is great and our salesman Dan M is the best salesperson we have ever encountered---period. I like driving FAST and this car fills the bill.

Eyesight assist is distracting and horrible

We have Outback 2020 with eyesight assist. Honestly, the continuous beep of eyesight assist is super annoying. This car beeps a lot! and shows light in front of the drivers face in the windshield! Believe me I tried it! I traveled with it for 4500 Miles vacation When does it beep:When it is sunny, rainy, cloudy, dark outside, light of other vehicle infront of you is too bright, too dim, Beeps when you have sunglasses, beeps when you scratch your eye, beeps when move your head, when you are too short, too tall, beeps if the engine has been running for 2 hours straight, beeps when steering wheel has not been turn so much - highway driving- beeps when it can not detect lanes, beeps when it detects them... beeps beeps beeps beeps forever and ever, useless and can not be turned off forever....It beeps so much that you do not pay attention to even useful ones! Now can you turn it OFF for ever : NO! every time you turn the engine on- fill up the tank as an example, It turns ON automatically! Is it a button on main screen to turn it OFF? NO! you have to do at least 5 steps to get to the right menu to turn it OFF! It beeps so much that i did not get to enjoy the advertised boxer engine & that is beside being extremely distracting for driver! & annoying for rest of passengers who are in the car!

Excellent vehicle

We never thought we would own a Subaru until last year, we did lots of research on Outback’s at the end we bought a 2019 Outback Touring for the wife, loved so much we bought another 2020 Outback touring for myself.

Sticking with a winner

Our second one--first was a 2011 Outback limited--I wanted to get my wife a new car--I got from her "I DON'T WANT TO GET RID OF MY SUBARU--PERIOD"----soooooooooooooooo we were talking with our daughter one night and right under my wife's nose I ask her if she would like to have her moms car because she was having a hard time finding another care ---------------of course she said yes and my wife said"YOU JUST GAVE MY CAR AWAY---SO I GUESS I HAVE TO GET A NEW ONE" and informed me "THAT WAS SNEAKY"
