Used 2011 Subaru Outback Consumer Reviews
Almost as good as my luxury car
Downsized from older luxury SUV. Road noise is more than I'm used to and styrofoam spare tire cover squeaks irritatingly. But all in all, really like the car.

Dependability in a tight package.
6 cylinder would be better, lot of car here for a 4 cylinder. Overall very pleased with this vehicle after 5 years of ownership.

Awesome car for active individuals
This was my second outback and first in the new body style. Bought the car new and drove it for 108K miles. My only complaint was that it couldn't tow very much. Handles awesome in weather, comfy for 4, great trunk space and good legroom for a tall guy. I'm hoping the Ascent crushes it and will become my third subaru. Maintenance over the life of the car was really minimal.

Engine whirring Noise
My new 2011, which I have had only 3 weeks has already been in shop once and will be going in again this week for the same issues. The issues are that I get a clunk when I release the brake pedal quickly (Dealer says it is normal) and the other more annoying problem is that I get a rpm related whirring from the engine right from idle. Dealer says it was air in power steering oil and said it was fixed. Well, it wasn't and now I'm afraid it is something more significant. I plan on driving another new one to see how the brake clunking is and I know that others do not have the whirring. Not a happy camper.
2011 Outback Noise Problem
Here's the 2011 Subaru Outback with the noise that car buyers are complaining about. Loud inside the car and out. Occurs in park, neutral and drive. Starts at about 1100 RPM. Dealers will tell you this is normal. THIS IS A NEW CAR....two weeks old....this is not normal and Subaru should repair / recall this car to fix this problem. View and listen to this defect at youtube.com and look up user mudridx. See and listen to the subaru_outback.mov for yourself. Visit the Subaru forums and read the many complaints about the Outback "chirping". Google "Outback chirping" and read for yourself. It is not acceptable that Subaru is not addressing this problem.
