Very unhappy with Williams Subaru and will never do business with them again.

Subaru doesn’t fix anything. Our automatic windows don’t work reliably. Our automatic tailgate seldom works. Our headlights got moisture in them very shortly after we bought the car. Again Subaru didn’t fix them. Took it in many times and now the warranty is not valid. So we are stuck with this piece of poo. I will never by another Subaru.

Very good car, with good gas mileage.

This is the 3rd Subaru we have owned. 1st. A real nice Forester, my wife loved it, we lived in Cle Elam, WA. With a lot of snow. We bought great studded snow tires never got stuck, even plowed snow with the front a couple of times, I’ll bet we could have pealed bark of a tree. Then we bought a motor home and could not dingy tow it, so traded it in for a 5 speed forester, it worked great for dingy towing behind our motor home. Later sold the motor home. The 2017 Outback we now have has around 58,000 miles on it and we live in Northern Idaho now, and have a very good set of studded snow tires for winter driving, just as good as our first Subaru with a lot more comfort and room. We service our Outback as required with Parker Subaru now, they take very good care of our car, which takes great care of us, Thank You Subaru for this great car.

Love it!!

It’s love… it’s a Subaru… and my son sold it to me so it’s extra special. It’s comfortable, peppy, drives/steers so well, hasn’t needed any repairs, just maintenance, reflects everything I want in a car.

Couldn't be happier.

We purchased this car new in 2017. Had it serviced at the dealership until the 100,000 mile warranty was up. They took great care of us. Car now has 122,000 miles and we still love it. 34 miles per gallon and everything still works well.

Many features.

Ultra reliable; no repairs needed in over 80,000 miles. Needs a higher capacity battery and a more comfortable ride over sharp bumps. Has high MPG and planty of power with the 2.5 engine. Safety features are many. Very roomy interior.

Excellent overall

My 2017 Outback has been an excellent vehicle. It has been extremely reliable, but slightly boring for a guy that previously had a Grand Cherokee. That’s not a bad thing though, but it’s more utility than sport.

Love the Subarus

We fell very safe driving our Subaru on all road conditions snow - icy roads. Easy to get around in. Gas mileage is great with the price of gas today. We bought all our Subarus from Parker Subaru They are the greatest.

Great review

I like my Outback. The problem with the Subaru is the oil burning and leaks. I am at over 100,000 and noticed my oil light turned on before it was time for oil change. My understanding is some Subaru’s have problems with oil and the customer needs to be proactive on caring for their Outback.

Great Car

This is the 2nd Subaru Outback my wife has bought, after a recommendation from a friend who also bought a few Subaru Outbacks. She is extremely happy with the car and had no problems over the tears other than replacing a battery.

Just like new.

My car, at least to this point, is as good as the day I bought it. I like my Subaru better than any of my previous so-called luxury cars.

2017 Subaru Outback

Excellent vehicle. Designed so that short drivers, tall drivers, or big hefty drivers can comfortably drive this vehicle. Great on long trips- it’s roomy and comfortable. Cargo area is large. I’ve moved heavy loads such as (bricks, furniture) in it with no problems.

2017 Outback

We bought it used with 13k miles on it. Hat to put in a battery at 37k, just after warranty had Expired. Front passenger wheel bearing and assembly just replaced at 65k. Bought the vehicle to replace a Buick LaCrosse because I needed a vehicle to haul beach chairs and umbrella in. Lacrosse wouldn’t. I get around 29 mpg on interstate travel at 78 mph. 25-26 around town. Not as quiet as the lacrosse. Overall a good car. Not a lot of extra gadgets to get in your way.

Love my Outback

This workhorse has never failed me. With routine care, it’s gotten my family everywhere, in all weathers, safely and in comfort. The plan is to take good care of it so it lasts for many years more - maybe I’ll never have to shop for another car.

Less than I want, More than I need

I purchased as a certified pre-owned with 19k in 2019. I wish it had more power to pass, and less safety assist stuff to calibrate, repair or replace

I love my outback

I love my car. Can't wait for the electric version. This is my second outback. We also have a legacy sedan. I will always own an outback. I bought the upscale pkg. With all the features. Handles dirt roads and even pikes peak.

Best all around car

We have owned 2 Foresters, this Outback is the best, we plan to keep it for at least another 10 years. Great performance, economy, roomy, and super in snow, ice, mud with the symmetrical all wheel drive.
