Bought 3.6R limited with 25,000 miles and have had constant problems with suspension. I have had in dealer 3 times and 2 other shops and no one has a clue. I replaced front shocks as dealer suggested-- of course NOT under warranty. Car still makes clunking noises over small road imperfections and VERY noisy as well . Seats comfortable but made with cheap leather and all interior bits seem slapped together. Got the 6 cylinder because of power and the 4 cylinder with CVT rubber band transmission pathetic-- yet Subaru still somehow succeeds in make the six sound like a 4 cylinder. Can't wait to get rid of it...Never again
Should have been better

Seats are comfortable and its easy to find a great seating position. Leather seems of good, but not great, quality. Cabin reasonably quiet. The ride is very busy, harsh even, really jiggly on uneven pavement. Lots of road feel transmitted back into the steering wheel, and increasing over time so that I now have the oscillation problem. Front end makes a decent clunking sound anytime I'm turning into a driveway at anything other than a crawl. The real downside on mine is the 5-spd AT. a shuddering, engine lugging abomination at low rpm. Operation of all the above described as normal. The engine is about the best feature of the car smooth, quiet and great acceleration.

Good Car but not too Reliable

I have had my 2011 Subaru outback (limited) for almost 2 years now. I have to say the parts replacement is cheap and easy (brakes, etc.). But MAJOR issues with overheating. I have had the radiator replaced, the thermometer and gasket replaced and it still has problems. Next replacement might have to be the water pump if the issue is not resolved. The car is great for driving on rougher dirt roads (with a good set of tires) but the acceleration is slow. Note: this car has major highway miles at over 240,000 so its been used A LOT.

This car does it all. needed a car that would carry my family, safely, over the blizzard strewn highways surrounding the great lakes. This is the car for the job. Extra niceties include safety, cargo area, people area, a nice interior finish and great highway MPG. I like this car.
Great safety ratings, excellent visability

My wife and I have owned five Subarus in the past 25 years, and have loved them all. The Outback is a more luxurious version of the Forester; I have loved its comfortable and supportable seats since I bought the car. Its AWD technology is superb, and its ride and handling are excellent. A great vehicle!
