My 1993 was better

This car doesn't have near the traction of my 1993 Loyale. Climbing my hill in the winter, this Outback isn't much better than a standard front wheel drive car and you can't put chains on.

2012 Outback Premium

Bought used, 14,000 Miles, 3 1/2 years old, Certified Pre-Owned in 2015. Now late 2019, 50,000+ trouble-free miles. Follow scheduled maintenance requirements to the letter! Best used car ever owned by me!

The car with out soul or charactor

Very safe, Very capable and Very boring to drive. I do not love my Subaru. Maybe I should let my dog drive the car. Might add a-little joy to the experiance

I don't know when I will get a new car, but I DO know it will be a SUBARU!

In the past forty years, I have owned three Subarus. I have loved all of them. DEPENDABILITY. dependability. Dependability. Any way you spell it! Safety. High resale value. Good mileage. Great style. Comfortable ride. All are important. But dependability is what I am most interested in and that is why my next car will be a Subaru.

LOVE THE 3.6R

I have nothing but good words to describe how much I love my Outback. I don't plan on buying another car as this is my retirement vehicle but, if I had to the Outback would be my choice.

Other than the catastrophe that was the 2012 Subaru Nav System, this is the best car I've ever owned.

Since 2012, the only repairs have been to get a new rear camera replaced, damaged by salt spray from driving on snow covered roads. The Outback rocks. It really does. Fuel economy is as expected. The engine does burn a little bit of oil since new but that's an overall Subaru idiosyncrasy. Reliable and comfortable.

Subaru

My Subaru has been a very dependable vehicle! My complaint‘s are that the mirrors are not quite sufficient in gaining a sense of a clear view behind myself when backing up or parking. Also the fabric used to upholster the seats is horrible! I would never ever recommend fabric that Subaru uses. Even a little spell of water is nearly impossible to remove the stain, it’s actually quite annoying and ridiculous. Be aware of the little auxiliary lights in the front. They are in sufficiently secured and often fall backwards and need to be secured which is a real pain. The seats are quite uncomfortable. But I got sheepskin seat covers from Costco and this made all the difference. Subaru needs to improve the whole seating situation especially the fabric choice

Great car! The family favorite to drive.

It's a good ride. Good pickup when the light changes. Comfy seating. With winter coming I love the heated seats. Fits in my garage with room to spare, yet big enough to carry the big loads that it has had to carry when I moved. If I were younger I'd buy another one.

Haven’t had a better auto.

We’ve kept this car longer than we’ve ever kept any car ever. The reason is simple. It is still in excellent condition, it runs excellent, and it’s as good as it was the day we bought it!

LOVE LOVE LOVE

We absolutely LOVE our 2012 Subaru 3.6R Outback Limited. It is not only a very classy automobile but, very comfortable whether around town or on a long trip. It also has a lot of room for 4 or 5 people - comfortably. If we were looking to purchase another car we'd definitely look at the Outback. We do understand that the 3.6R is no longer going to be made after 2018 which is a shame because the power of this engine is top notch!

Driving Subarus since 1995!!!!!

First Subaru was a 1996 Legacy wagon I got in November of 1995 and I kept it till March of 2018 after over 174,000 miles. I found a well cared for, (looked new, including engine ), 2012 Subaru Outback Wagon with less than 97,000 miles, drives like new, and the dealer,(Rairdon Auburn Subaru), even put new tires on it.

2012 Subaru Outback - LOVE IT

This is our 1st Subaru and I have nothing but good things to say about it. Beautiful design features, comfortable riding and acceptable mileage. Great vehicle to take long trips in or just to and from work. I may keep this for many years as I generally do when I like a car but, if I should ever need a new car, I'd definitely check into a Subaru again.

1st Subaru

I love everything about my Subaru Outback Limited. The body style and interior wood trim are beautiful. I put the 3M coating on the entire hood and other parts of the car and even though it's 6 years old that looks brand new. Folks can't believe it's that old. If I should ever have a need to purchase another one I would do so in a heartbeat. Love love love my Subaru!

Comfy and easy to drive.

A lot of new gizmos for me to play with. Each have been easy to learn and use. It is a beautiful automobile and I am enjoying driving it. Hope it will last for many years while on the highway or on mountain top dirt roads. It has combined my old car and truck into one great ride.
