Subaru Outback

"I am convinced the AWD in this car has saved my life more than once. It doesn't hydroplane on wet roads and handles snow/ice well."

"After going through considerable replacement of parts at the 100,000 mile mark the Subaru 2000 has given remarkable service an I am even delaying in upgrading this car and mark another year"

"AWD performance, handling in inclement weather. I feel very safe"

"not as peppy as i'd like, especially entering on a highway."

"Acceleration is OK, cornering also OK. In slippery conditions, I pull away from the stoplight while another car spins its tires."

"Love the all wheel drive."

"This vehicle is a little slower on acceleration than our newer Subaru, but still has a lot of pep and handles well. It is great fun to take on curvy roads. It holds the road well."

"Good ride, but acceleration is on low side."

"Excellent handling and acceleration, nice to drive at high speeds."

"Weak acceleration"

"car always handled great in snow storms"

"Original manual transmission was unpleasent and the car is a bit noisy."

"It always seems to have enough power in the 4 cyl. to do whatever task is demanded, even with 247000 miles. The handling on wet, snowy or icy roads is outstanding."

"Solid and quiet. Moderate acceleration that could be better, but OK. Excellent handling."

"It handles really well around curves.acceleration is about average for a four cylinder car"

"This car is surprisingly comfortable. I think it's a dork car, but I ski, and live in the Pacific NW, so it really is a good value. Amazing in snow! Better gas mileage and smaller than an SUV, which is a plus for me. Just wish it didn't look like such a mom car."

"I really like the way this car drives in curves, snow, wet weather, and wind. The car stays on the road and is easy to handle. It has been paid for at least 13 years and not required a lot of additional expense."

"It is very comfortable."

"Same as comments on 2005 Subaru."

"Driver sits too low. Passenger seat is very uncomfortable and very limited adjustments"

"hard ride, seats uncomfortable on a long ride, lot of road noise."

"excessive road noise"

"The seats are comfortable and heated. For long trips this is a very good feature. Until the last few weeks the climate control has worked will. I take it in Monday, hope it is not to expensive."

"The leather interior has great durability and barely shows the 247000 miles. Unfortunately the AC failed a few years ago and cost more than the value of the car to replace the entire system. The car is a great winter car."

"It seems like driver's seat was deliberately design to bother my back"

"This car has the most comfortable seats of any car I have ever ridden in. A/C and heat are excellent."

"The excellent visibility! With proper adjustment of the side view mirrors I have 360 degrees visibility."

"Excellent vehicle. I only wish it was electric"

"Subaru Outback are among the best made cars. Mine is 20 years old with over 200,000 miles and has required minimal maintenance. It still drives like it is a new car. Subaru Service Managers have told me to never sell this car."

"It is a 1997 and runs great. Just needed more room for my grandchildren"

"This is an 18 year old vehicle and the only problem I have had with it (other than normal maintenance issues) is that the CD and tape players stopped working after 16 years."

"Reliability & AWD"

"I bought this car new and it is now 17 years old. The only major expense was a clutch 3 years ago. Engine still runs fine. It is now my run around town car."

"17 years and 215,000 miles. Still starts every time, AC works, and the radio works. Doors and windows keep out the weather. Cargo capacity is extraordinary for its size. Insurance is cheap."

"Vehicle was purchased new in January 2000 and has been an excellent, highly dependable vehicle. Handling, acceleration, and comfort have pretty much failed to deteriorate."

"354000 miles since it was purchased new. It has been well cared for and has not required any maintenance or repairs that have been unexpected for this age of a vehicle with this mileage. Our trusted mechanic just recently took it for a test drive and couldn't believe how much fun it was to drive. How many people can say that about their 17 year old vehicles!"

"Had the car for 17 years. I did not expect it to last that long. Now coming to the end. Got great value, with limited upkeep cost"

"It currently runs great, has 125,000 miles and the maintenance costs have been reasonable. I wouldn't buy another one because I really hate their ads."

"Whatch out for head gasket, otherwise quality parts and car in a, maybe not so stylish but very handy station package. This car has 310,000 km and kappa driving well as well as reasonable on gas."

"All weather capability and safety as well as fuel economy and great long distance car. Have to be very regular with all services. If you do not want to get hit with the big services then sell it before 100K km."

"This is actually a 1998 Subaru Outback Legacy Wagon with manual transmission. Yes we have had to replace a few things but since it is 18 years old and still drives very well, we are extremely happy with it. The AC just quit working and we are not sure we'll have it fixed based on the age of the car. But it could beat having another car payment."

"style,gas mileage.It'll run forever.cargo space."

"In the 17 years I have owned my 1999 Subaru, it has never failed me. I had to replace the timing belt at 100k and the primary clutch at 130k. Those are the only repairs I have made to the vehicle since purchase."

"My previous Subaru Outback, purchased and driven in Switzerland and throughout Europe, was 14 years old when we left to come settle in USA. I wanted a car that looked and drove the same way as the first Subaru. And I bought it and have driven with the same pleasure I have had with this model."
