Great, practical car but has oil leak issues

This car developed a serious leak in the cam cover and required a complete engine reseal at 63k. The work was completed under extended warranty. However, it is still leaking and the dealer is redoing the work. Hard to say how it will play out at this point. Other than that I have enjoyed this car. Gets great highway mileage (30+) but nowhere near city MPG in city/near suburbs with lots of 4-way stops (~18 MPG). Great storage capacity, driver seat a little low and not adjustable.

151k miles and transmission broke down. Subaru didn't recommend any transmission service before. I wonder if I would do transition service it would work longer. I had also issue with engine oil consumption. Car had only 70k miles Subaru did replace engine block on warranty. One dealer didn't see problem another one was pleasant to deal with and they did repair it for free. Overall good car no another issues.

Remember when you purchased your last new car? Then about 5 years into owning it you start thinking about the next car you should buy.....well, when I've now owned my Subaru Outback for 7 years and I haven't even given it a thought. But when the time does come to buy another car I'm pretty sure it will be another Subaru! I've owned Fords, Chevy's, Toyotas, and Mazda's. My favorite daily driver still remains the Subaru, followed by Mazda's Miata. All the reasons I purchased it in the 1st place have remained true and I've not been disappointed. Reliability, mileage, maint. cost, functionality, style, comfort, versatility. I've hauled groceries, children, adults, luggage, plants, firewood, pets, kayaks, bikes to name a few. She is one sturdy girl! When the time eventually comes to purchase a new vehicle I have no doubt it will be a Subaru! Update: It's been almost 9 years now and she's still with me. I've purchased many cars in my lifetime and when the time is right my next will be a Subaru.

Second Outback

This is an awesome car! It is quiet driving, comfortable, handles great and feels like riding a unicorn in snow and ice. On the not so happy side, navigation is useless. Phone book (contacts) load each time the car is turned on. There is no storage for contacts and the upload is slow. This is a 2013 so it was probably top notch at the time. I have driven many loaners from the dealer that are new and the infotainment is much better and navigation too. This car does not correct the steering when using eyesight. I rate this car with 5 stars. It is my second outback.

Excellent car, except for owners of Thule equipment

Very good to excellent in all aspects, except for the integrated roof rack. The crossbars do not work with many older Thule products (bike carriers, ski racks, kayak carriers), and they do not extend beyond the width of the roof line. For those outdoor enthusiasts who need to carry multiple items, we need to attach standard Thule crossbars. However, the design of the roof limits the front to back bar distance to 25 inches. This makes for a less stable kayak carrier or rooftop box. I am told that Subaru and Yakima have an agreed upon specific adapter for Yakima crossbars. Subaru needs to do the same with Thule, given the large number of Thule enthusiasts.
