It's (almost) got it all.

This car is not an eye-stopper unless you live where it snows or rains heavily. Excellent ground clearance, easy oil changes, and excellent side and rear vision. Stable for light towing. The 2013 Outback was a bit noisy, which has been corrected. Gas mileage was just okay, but now greatly improved. We have had 13 Subarus over 25 years and NEVER HAD A SERIOUS MECHANICAL PROBLEM. NONE!!!

Best car I've ever owned

This Outback has been completely trouble free. The only maintenance outside of regular oil changes has been a new battery, tires and brakes. That's all in 105000 miles. It's also the most comfortabe car I've owned.

Check recalls and car fax history. Consider a power train warranty if the vehicle has a CVT.
