I know that this model will be replaced this summer with a newer version, but I love it and needed a replacement for my previous Outback. The car has plenty of room, comfortable seats, and handles snow and other bad weather with ease. I chose the Eyesight feature and found it excellent. The newer version should be even better. It has the capability of stopping accidents, and controls your cruise control to ensure that you are following the vehicle ahead of you at a safe distance even when they slow down. The car can carry most things a homeowner would want either on the roof rack, or in the back with the rear seats folding flat.
Awesome wagon!

My 6 speed manual Outback has been rock solid going on 350,000km now. Still gets amazing fuel economy and drives like it did when I bought it new in 2014. Very few issues other than normal maintenance/repair items. I recommend one if your in the market for a great AWD wagon. Extremely hard to find a manual unfortunately.

We have not been impressed with the quality of the car in terms of many expensive parts needing replacement, both before and immediately after the warranty expired. The parking break in particular is electronic, stopped working for no reason after 3 years, and is extremely expensive to repair.

Subaru Needs To Own Up To the Brake Problem Still

At 1000 miles I had a problem with the Brakes. Noise and spongy. 1809 into Dealer. "Subaru Tech Tip" "Master Cylinder...normal operating characteristics". At 12,000 my the Pedal finally ends up when depress resting on the Brake and the Gas Pedal at the same time requiring me to Stop The Car turning the key off. 12,116 back into the Dealer. This time I get the Service Advisor into the car. "Feels lower than normal" "Admission some Customers have complained". But, the end result was "Subaru Tech Tip" "Master Cylinder...normal operating characteristics". There is a problem in a limit number of vehicles and Corporate Subaru just will not deal with it. Out of Sight Out of 12/11/16: After almost 3 years of ownership Edmunds has asked for an update. In 3 years only 2 other people have driven my car. They have pronounced the Brakes..."Fine". I know what was delivered to me and what changed.....But, I own it with an extended warranty to 60,000 5 years. The MPG is often above 30 which is great. What I have a complaint about are the Dealers... At 30,000 miles the Manual calls for "Inspections". What the Dealer came back with "Everything" inspected needed to be replaced. Brakes, Tires, etc. I gave them an inside cabin filter and oil change. Update 40,000 miles: Per recommendation brake fluid was changed at 33,000 plus. I still have a problem with the Subaru brakes. What is really crazy is when the car goes in for a service (oil lube rotation) and comes out the brakes will be ......firm....for about a 1000 miles then the peddle loosens up. They claim they touch nothing on the brakes. 6/12/18: 57215 Miles I simply can not give Subaru a pass on the original problem. I continue to drive the car as a manual which translates into when stopped shifting into neutral so my foot does not rest on the brake pedal reliving each time that mushy brake pedal. Clearly I have looked for a new car but just can not bring myself to look at Subaru again. Not so much the car but the Manufacturer lack of willingness to accept responsibility.

Bought CPO 4 months ago, and love this car. I have been a Subaru fan for quite some time, and finally bought one. The best word to describe this car is practical. Combine that with Subaru reliability and quality, and you have a winner in my book. The seating/cargo space - I'm 6'2" and can sit comfortably in front or back seat - is excellent. The fuel economy is as expected - 28 combined - and considering AWD and the size of the vehicle, is above average. The CVT took some getting used to, but I've quickly adjusted to the changes and don't mind it much now. I appreciate the functionality of a CUV (ground clearance, cargo room, AWD, etc.) with a car like ride. My only minor gripe is with the braking, which can be a bit spongy. I'm not an aggressive driver, so it's barely noticeable, but in hard stop situations it shows up. Overall, I'm very happy with this vehicle and will continue to buy Subarus going forward.
