My first Outback will not be my last. We love it. Well built, good performance, great styling, and excellent integrity of body. I do not like the padding in the seats; too thin with not enough support. I am 6' tall and 155 pounds so that is not an issue. Also, we have had the fuel door freeze shut numerous times. That being said, I can find no other things that I do not like. We have the 4 liter H6 and it is very responsive. Thus far, it has been fault free and if it continues, as I think it should, we will have the car we have been looking for. Subaru has done it for us.

We have lived in the mountains for a number of years. We have found no other car this reliable in the area of service and winter performance.

My wife actually chose this car over the A4 avant wagon, with the conditions in Utah, the clearance, reliability, room, and features were a much better fit, of course it cost less as well

I really like this car, especially the 6 cyl. I have owned a 1997 Outback with the 2.5 engine. The new engine is much more refined and fun to drive. In fact, compared to my previous Acura coupe, it is close in handling and comfort and is just wonderful in the snow and other tough conditions. Yea, I would buy another one. Would like just a little bit more room however.

Love teh car most of the time, but it keeps shutting off without warning while driving slow or at a stand still. Subaru so far hasn't been able to find the problem or fix it.
