Sold my BMW 330xi and got my new Outback 3.6R Limited. I've gone from the "ultimate driving machine" (which drove great, but didn't have a lot of room for people and stuff, didn't have a lot of ground clearance, and was getting very expensive to maintain) to the "ultimate do absolutely everything pretty well" machine. Tons of room for its exterior size. Plenty of power. Nice ride. Great value. Well built. Amenities are pretty good for this price point. While I miss a bit of how the old car drives when pushed hard on a curvy road, on all other points, I prefer the Subaru.

I bought a '10 Forester when we moved to a ski resort. Loved it, but traded for an '11 Outback because I wanted a bigger vehicle. Loved that one too. After 3 years and 80,000 miles, traded it in on an identical '14 3.6 Outback. I prefer a traditional auto trans instead of a CTV, I got one of the last '14s. Love this one too. It has 16,000 miles with no problems. Gets 24 mpg with mixed driving. When I bought the Forester, I asked the salesman why Subaru doesn't advertise much (they do more now). He said that once someone becomes a Subaru owner, they tend to come back again. I guess I'm proof of that. We've had the Outback for almost 3 years and 40,000 miles and are still very pleased about it. No problems with it at all. An odd observation. My 2011 Outback often needed a quart of oil added between scheduled oil changes every 3,750 miles. I was told that's not unusual. My 2014 Outback, with the same engine, doesn't go through oil at all. The frequency of the recommended oil changes is shorter than most cars, but I've figured it's cheap insurance. I've been very satisfied with all three Subarus I've owned. The Outback just turned 50,000 miles and still runs great. I drove it from Southern California to Atlanta by way of Northeast Tennessee and back in June. 5,300 miles over 2 weeks. The only problems was a cracked windshield from a rock. The car ran great, got about 26 mpg, was comfortable for long periods of time. We now have over 75,000 miles of trouble free driving. The car still runs well. Have only had to spend on routine maintenance. There have been no mechanical problems at all. The Outback is now over 5 years old and nearly 90,000 miles. It still runs well and there have been no mechanical problems except for having to replace a broken rear differential mount. While the mechanicals are strong, the body is starting to show it's age with a few squeaks and rattles. Nothing serious or surprising considering its age and mileage. My wife is the primary driver and she loves the car. I sold our Outback in October 2019 when it had about 103,000 nearly trouble free miles. It was a great car but time to replace it with something new so I wouldn't have to worry about it breaking down on a long road trip or while my wife was driving out of town. After Subarus, a Forrester and two Outbacks, all of which were very reliable, we switched to a Grand Cherokee. I would have considered another Outback but I really don't like CVT transmissions and all Subaru's now have that as the only choice. Too bad or I would have stayed with another Subaru.

I really enjoy driving this car. It Is comfortable, safe and reliable. Very little maintenance. Zero problems. I plan to buy the same car in 2017. Great trade in value. Subaru gets it right.

Waited until I had my car a couple of months to post a review. Looked around at every midsize crossover, from BMW X1, X3, Infiniti, Acura, Honda, Toyota and Volvo for months to find something that met the needs of city driving and parking while also comfortable enough for a road trip. After 4 BMW's this was quite a change, I've been so impressed with my Outback! It does everything well, and the 3.6R has plenty of get up and go when needed. The Limited has all the creature comforts, excellent visibility and the car has that safe, solid feel to it in all kinds of driving conditions, including the rare snowstorm in Atlanta!
No other car compares in this price range
