We had a 2012 with 13000 miles and loved it but wanted leather and a better stereo so got the 2013. Several friends have new and old Subarus and they seem to have exceptionally good build quality and long-term endurance. The newer/bigger/taller models (2011-2013) are very quiet, roomy and comfy. I liked the looks of the 2012 front end better as it was dressier, but the 2013 is more sporty looking. This wagon is surefooted on Pacific Mountain highways where we drive. The suspension/steering "fix" made the 2013 handle more like a SUV. The 2012 had a feeling more like an Avalon on the road.

It's great! Subaru makes an incredible vehicle, the Outback has been our go-to car for 20 years! Outlasts them all.

Vehicle is a great AWD choice with proven reliability. we have been pleasantly surprised by the mileage. We average about 23 miles per gallon in the city and 29 miles per gallon on the highway. They only complaint we have is that the lift gate should have a power option. We understand it is available in the newer models. One annoying thing: I cannot seem to adjust the volume of the guidance system voice. It’s choice is on or off, and can’t find a menu to adjust the volume.
