What a surprise. I've always wondered how this vehicle would be to own and so far have no disappointments. Well engineered and perfectly assembled in the good old U.S. of A

from day number one, every interior part has come loose. The car is supposed to synch to my cell phone but after purchase the dealer could not get that feature to work. rear view Mirror fell off dozens of time. My car has 40K on it and I have gone through five sets of tires..i was told alignment was not possible because the sub frame was bad..not thrilled with car.. update October 2020: both rocker panels are rusting away car has 70k on it.

This my second outback. The first one I kept for 14 years and I hope to keep this one the same. I follow the maintenance schedule and have never had any repairs other than brakes. a new battery , and new tires. It handles well in snow and dry weather. It is the most dependable brand I ever owned.

Superb car except for a bit of oil usage

2013 Outback Premium, with 6-speed manual transmission. Everything works to perfection and at 104k miles it drives like a new car. Only annoying thing is oil usage: about a quart every 1500 miles. Not the end of the world; I just carry a couple of extra quarts in back. The OE Bluetooth system did not agree with my iPhone starting in 2021, so I replaced it with a Kenwood aftermarket GPS unit ... works incredibly well. The suspension got a bit clattery, so I replaced the OE sway bar bushings with polyurethane ones ... problem absolutely solved. Easy for the corner mechanic to work on; no need to take it to the dealer. All in all I would say that it has been a truly superb car. Outbacks are no longer available with a stickshift, so am trying to really take care of this one.

So happy that I purchased the Outback. I will probably buy a new 2019 in the spring...
