Subaru Outback

"The Outback is very comfortable on long trips. The cruse control could be made a litter easier to use, but I am very pleased with its performance."

"Secure handling in all weather, especially snow and ice."

"Doesn't have much quick acceleration on hills. Engine must shift down often on a steep hill"

"SMOOTH TRANSITION"

"For an 18 year old car, it still pretty fast and corners well!"

"For 17years enjoyed every mile I drove the 2001."

"DRIVES FANASTIC, STEERS SLIGHTLY HARDER THAN MY FORD CROWN VIC, BUT NONE THE LESS FINE, HAS MORE PICKUP AND SPEED THAN THE FORD WITH LESSOR EFFORT."

"Because it has a rather small engine it can't go as fast as other cars on steep hills."

"couldn't say anything but good"

"My wife loves the car and wants to keep it forever. It handles well and is very easy to drive."

"At this point in its life, it doesn't accelerate quickly. Once up to speed, though, it cruises along easily."

"The AWD works great in rain and winter conditions."

"Excellent traction and acceleration. The rear sway bars are a defect with this cars ultimaye handling in emergency situations. The brakes are undersized for this size vehicle, you should downshift when braking to safe on brake life."

"I always feel safe because the car responds so well to my driving habits and control. I have only used the special brakes 2 times in 18 years."

"It handles well in all weather conditions. I feel very safe in this car.. it has good acceleration when you need it .. although it doesn't have as many ponies as the Lexus.."

"Very good"

"very good on curvy roads prevalent inwestern Wisconsin...goodin snow, good on curves and turning,especially for a high bidy style station wagon"

"It's good for the size of car."

"Handling is very good even in poor weather."

"Its acceleration is a bit sluggish."

"Acceleration is ok handling is vey good"

"Too much road noise and AC takes to long to cool and could be stronger."

"darn noisy. wind noise started very early in its life with us."

"Same as Forester"

"Very dependable, comfortable car."

"Considering I have owned this vehicle for over 17 years, the seats and ride are very comfortable; noise level is not bad."

"Wonderful car for 17 years. The only negative is the noise coming through the drivers side window. Had it fixed once but came back. More annoying than anything."

"i DON'T LIKE THAT THE SEATING IS SUCH THAT I HAVE TO REACH FURTHER TO GRASP THE STEERING WHEEL COMFORTABLY THAN I DO IN MY CROWN VICTORIA. i FIND THE SUBARU STEERING WHEEL CANNOT BE ADJUSTED TO MY REACH WITHOUT IT BEING SLANTED DOWN AND THE TOP OF THE STEERING WHEEL THEN BLOCKS MY SPEEDOMETER TO SOME EXTENT. .."

"Entry somewhat difficult following knee replacement"

"The outback seats are comfortable and the cabin is quiet."

"Ability to heat seats and backs, especially in winter."

"Extremely noisy ride & seats not comfortable."

"The LL Bean package was outstanding for comfort in all of years I owned this car. The weather stripping on the doors should have been replaced at 100000 miles. The body rust should have been fixed at 200000 miles, because the car will last long enough to make it worth getting the work done."

"Too much road noise"

"easy in NS OUT"

"excessive wind and road noise from both front doors/windows."

"Comfy seats."

"Seating is excellent. Noise level is high due to the design defect of the window enclosure. Over time the front part of window support weakens and must be squeezed with pliers to reduce noise level. An annoyance. Then ride is very good considering the car is 16 model years old."

"The seating and steering wheel adjustments leave my comfort to be desired. My wife drives the Subaru so it is not a real problem and I drive my Ford which is a larger car."

"Its a very reliable car, but AWD is not fuel efficient. I would be reluctant to buy again for that reason."

"We had to replace the clutch twice."

"Best value of any car I have ever owned."

"not many problems considering the type and extent of use over all these years. the car was used for daily commute from NY to NJ and parked outside for 10 years. During that time it was used also used for road trips regularly. Since 2011 it was not used for commuting but city driving and road trips including to FL yearly for 5 years. Exterior in excellent condition and no rust. Has been garaged for last 5 years."

"This car has had few problems so is very reliable. We will drive it until it dies. The hatchback is so handy to have."

"If you bought it now it would be cheap and still have 100,000 Miles to run."

"You will have very little if any problems with the outback if you have it serviced as noted in your manual"

"Very happy with quality to price"

"Purchased this vehicle in April 2001 and have put over 235,000 miles on it. Of course it has depreciated a lot in value...that is to be expected. It has been an amazingly dependable vehicle with lots of room for my Costco runs and carrying my four dogs."

"The car just won't quit. A great vehicle. I'd like to update for newer technology & safety features but design features are constantly changing. These cars are becoming very popular and their prices are rising proportionally. Nice to have a car paid for."

"We purchased two Outbacks new in 2001 and they are both still in the family and going strong. We gave our Outback wagon to an adult child and it went to Alaska for 7 years."

"Excellent car.."

"Great car for 16 years! Recent problems only routine replacements due to age(axles, belts, etc). Has responded well in accidents, including hitting a deer at 70mph on interstate and being being broadsided front right by a light truck in first year of use."
