I really enjoy driving this car. It Is comfortable, safe and reliable. Very little maintenance. Zero problems. I plan to buy the same car in 2017. Great trade in value. Subaru gets it right.

You cant tell in a 15 minute test drives how the seats will do long term. They will woo you with leather (which I hate) and multiple adjustment seats, which are just flash. If you have larger thighs or are a weight lifter or hiker, where your thighs might be a little tighter, the seats will kill you. I cannot drive longer than 30 minutes without the back of my right leg going numb and tightening up. They have a roll of foam in the end of the short seat that hits you mid thigh and there is no way of adjusting the seats to make it go away. Im making an appointment with an upholsterer to see it the foam can be scooped out, which will cost a lot and void the warranty for the seats...comfort more important. If you have larger thighs...TAKE A LONG TEST DRIVE...INSIST ON IT.

January 23,2023 Our 2014 Subaru Outback Ltd. is still in excellent condition. I have applied 4 Ceramic coats in the last 2 years and it looks better than new. I applied it around all doors including the lift back and around the hood edges about 5 inches in. The engine also got treated. A dealer who looked at it said it was exceptionally clean and looked new. (nice complement for all the hard work) We now have 72200 miles on it and it is running very strong. This is the very best vehicle we have owned - and we have owned quite a few. We no longer take our car to a dealer for service. Their prices are through the roof! We have found an excellent ASE service tech's center that charges almost half of what a dealer charges, for the the exact same service. (Great savings on a fixed income) Keep the car Maintained According to the Manual. Keep the Exterior clean and use a Top Quality Poly-finish product. Maintain air pressure at least 1 Lb. above manufacturers recommended pressure (better milage). I use 1/2 lb. during winter months, but will use 4 Lbs Above recommended during warmer months. (expect firmer ride) July 6, 2020 Not much to add to what has been a GREAT automobile for us. We keep the car polished and clean, well maintained and it has paid us dividends. We currently have approximately 61,700 miles on the car and will have the oil changed at 62,000 miles. Our Subaru has been an excellent buy for us. I recommend the brand all the time. I hear of horror stories from around the country and all I can say is IT'S THE DEALER who makes the car what it should be. If they don't - use research to find a Subaru dealer other folks love and use them. I'll bet you'll love the dealer too! 1/7/2121 We now have close to 64K miles on it. Still a rock solid vehicle! I have it serviced regularly according to the manual, and have just replaced the front brake pads. Other than that, there is nothing new to report. However I'll share this story with all of you. The repair shop, where I took my car to have the brakes replaced, the repair shop owner (a very large operation) when asked by a fellow veteran what car should he should invest in, the owner told him to buy a Subaru. According to my fellow vet - He is VERY Satisfied. July 8 2021 Our 2014 Subaru Outback now has 66000 miles and is running great! Not bragging but we really like our Subaru. The next service is due at 67000 miles. I'll be taking our Subaru to our Dealer for the service. Nothing new to report, just great fuel mileage this time of year, 27.6 in mostly suburban/rural driving. We can't complain.

This is what I originally wrote: I bought a 2014 Outback 2.5i Premium 6 speed a year ago, now I have little over 13000 miles on it. I can say this is the best car I have owned and for the money we paid, you cannot get anything with all the equipment it has for such a price. Subarus AWD system was a selling point, since I do not want any FWD cars anymore: I am sick of replacing boots and front axles. This Outback is extremely spacious, comfortable, and reliable. It handles very well on any terrain, snow or rain, sand or pavement. The finish and quality of the car is very good, I may not have ash wood like a luxury car, nor do I have Napa leather, but I did not pay three times what I paid to get them. My new review: I had to sell the car to CarMax since my wife made the terrible mistake of accepting a posting in Buenos Aires. Even with diplomatic credentials she was not allowed to "import" a used car to a fourth world country like Argentina. The communist/populist president did not want us to have it there, so we were obliged to buy a locally made Peugeot 408. We miss terribly our Outback. There are a few here in Buenos Aires. Every time my wife sees one, she cries. Everything was perfect in our Outback. I sold it with 22000 miles on it, 22 months use. Like new. CarMax sends me annual emails asking for another car... I only had to do the maintenance, wheel alignment, it never let me stranded. Nothing was damaged. Subaru was so nice, they even paid for a small indentation made by road debris, just where the windshield starts on top. We are hoping to be sent back to Washington DC and we are going to buy a new Outback 3.6R or the new Ascent, if it is sold when we get there. This one I shall never sell. Unfortunately it does not have a 6 speed manual tranny...
