Used 2010 Subaru Outback Consumer Reviews
Need better seating
Teenager driver wrecked our Grand Cherokee and we wanted good visibility, all wheel drive, heated seats and economy in replacement vehicle. Five months with Outback and wife still says every day "I love my car." Mileage hasn't been as good as we'd hoped, but the style, access, build quality and utility of the vehicle are perfect. Of course, i'm comparing it to a 13-year old jeep, but handling is quick and fun. It leans a little in cornering. Car runs down the highway like an eager hound with no complaint except for fear we might stop. I just feel smart in this car, like I made the right choice after much searching and pondering.
Great value, smart looks.
I researched for months and test drove 6 cars before finally settling on the Outback. My previous car was a Honda mini-van, which I drove for 11 years. I was looking for good utility along with sedan comfort; I think this car delivers both. I almost purchased an 09 Outback in May, but the headrests were impossible to live with. The 2010 redesign has eliminated this issue, at least for me. This car delivers great value and I predict that it will be a huge hit for Subaru.

Love It - Even though one problem
We love our new Outback-- best feature, averaging 28 mpg around town. Super comfortable and great looking. Warning, we had a strange "whomping" sound the first week when we hit 40 mph and would stop at 45 mpg, sounded almost like pressure in cabin as if one window was open slightly. When returned to dealer they were excellent and an engineer from Indiana flew down, knew just what it was, rear differential, and said a batch were defective with cement bits in them? At any rate, perfect now, but just to let others know if they hear a slight, strange sound to get it checked.
Solid, Fun to Drive
I picked up the new Outback during an intense Northern Ohio blizzard!! It was love at first drive. Handles great with the AWD; Solid feel; Very roomy back seat for kids, plus plenty of cargo space. I get lots of positive comments on the Outback from friends, as well as strangers! CVT took some getting-used-to, but like the salesman said, "it just goes!" Not a rocket by any means, but it seems to help on fuel. Mileage has been pretty good at around 26 mpg in the city.
Great car - not your mom's old Subie
Just picked up my 2010 outback. Drove it once, had to have it. It was the last car on my list and I'm glad I waited. Far and away better than competition, CVT is impressive, and makes the old Outback...Outdated. It's the new Tribeca!!! First 100 miles averaged 23 mpg. Looking forward to snow. Gotta get it or get gotten by the competition. Drove Toyota, Honda,VW, Suzuki, and Ford. Other dealers should be worried, the Outback is going to leave a lot of cars on your lots.
