07’ Subaru Outback

Purchased this car brand new in late 2006 and all I have been required to do is the regular factory recommended factory maintenance as laid out in the owners manual! I have had no issues with this vehicle until recently of course it now has 195,000 miles on it and all that is wrong with it is the several suspension components need to be replaced soon, which is expected as suspension is a consumable good. I’d say I certainly have gotten my $27,000 worth of Outback from my vehicle! The Outback is very smooth to drive, especially on the interstate/highway, and has an extremely quite ride (strangely, it’s quieter than my 12’ Lexus RX 350 AWD’s ride). I would certainly buy again. In fact, currently I am looking at new 2021 models. The one and only complaint I have concerning this Subaru Outback is the rear seat (in the 07’ body style anyway) is somewhat of a tight fit as far as legroom is concerned; especially for an adult person!

Great Car

I bought this to replace the Impreza WRX because I needed the extra cargo space. I have not been disappointed. The fuel economy is reasonable. I have a little over 4000 miles on it and get about 26 MPG for every day driving and it takes regular fuel instead of premium which saves some money. I fill up about evert 330 miles. Drives through snow very well. I drove through 8 inches of wet snow with no issue.

We bought the '07 Outback Basic from my parents when we had our second child. It's been reliable and rugged, and the high ground clearance has been great for the frequently-flooded streets of Houston. It's a boring car, but can't be beat for the price!

This is my first time buying a non-GM car. Have only driven 300 miles. No problems yet. Love the way this car handles. Great acceleration and smooth ride. Was perfect to drive during a recent snowfall. Looking forward to taking this car on next backwoods camping trip. So far no regrets I didn't buy GM.

2007 Subaru Outback 3.0 R L.L.Bean Edition 4dr Wagon AWD w/Navi (3.0L 6cyl 5A)

I bought a used 07 Outback 4 years ago with 100k on clock (I drive alot and it now has over 330k on clock) I Still own and drive this daily. Usual maintenance done and apart from CEL and Cruise lights flashing to indicate an issue, I've had no other issues worth mentioning. Now, did the usual scan for fault code - Change O2 sensor and what nots but no improvements on the CEL and Cruise lights. That was until I had my Trans oil flushed and changed. No fault codes or flashing lights since. Gear changes are smooth and ride is comfy. I have owned Subarus from when I could drive so I may be a bit biased in my review but my intention is to shed some light for those whom may be having similar issues with flashing lights and P0420 fault codes.
