Subaru Outback Change Vehicle

"Competent if unexciting"

"All wheel drive gives us excellent handling and saved us from 2 accidents by being able to quickly swerve and not lose control. We owe that car."

"This vehicle really handles well. Very responsive - turning, braking, routine and emergency handling, but the area where it really shines is when the road is wet or snow-covered. The all-wheel drive sticks to the road like glue and my wife always asks to drive this car when the weather is inclement. This is a safe and reliable vehicle for day-to-day commuting."

"I'm having trouble shifting, but it may be more my decreasing coordination and hearing than the car itself."

"Poor acceleration. 2.5i motor lacks a bit of power."

"The basic 4 cylinder engine is under powered for this car. I do a lot of travel over mountain passes and the transmission works overtime to shift down to maintain legal speed limit. Next car will definitely be 6 cylinder or turbo 4 cylinder. Will test drive next car over pass to verify power."

"great driving stability"

"Very responsive; no hesitation. Good acceleration."

"Quite on road. Controlled handling.. Quietness depends on road conditions, bad roads create more suspension noise"

"Interior noise more than CaAMRY AND LEXUS Ride a little more bumpy"

"Annoying seat belt audible seat belt warning"

"I am only 5 ft, so seat adjustment is better than most, but still not great. Rear middle seat head rest, in the way of rear visibility. Took it out."

"Fairly comfortable seats. However, hard to keep clean."

"Front Seats are very uncomfortable. Passenger side seat has excessive lumbar curve. My seats are cloth. The material is rough and they stain very easily and are hard to clean. AC is good while driving but loses coolness when idling. When I have the AC off, but have the "air" on, the air is warm even when the air outside is cool. That forces me to use the AC more than I would like."

"I really wish there was an arm support in the center of the car."

"I find that when heating is turned off the vents still blow warm air and when AC is off the vents still blow cool air depending on the outside temp which is often the opposite of what I want to happen"

"durability"

"I have owned several Subarus, this one sucks, no power, 2 sets of head gaskets, constantly leaks oil and burns oil, mileage sucks, motor sounds like a tractor, transmission sucks the thing has no power so it never knows what gear to be in and shifts constantly!! You can't get it stuck except when it needs to spin, not enough power to spin wheels, I don't ever want another one though my son says they have improved alot."

"There is no better choice, bar none."
