I'm loving the car. It is proving to be even better than I imagined. Handles great on freeway. Love the EyeSight Assist system. Great when trying to back out of parking lot spaces.

Great vehicle

Bought the vehicle in Feb 2016 and in September of that same year I was T-boned on the drivers side by a young woman who ran a stop light at top speed. My wife on the passenger side suffered lateral whiplash because of the speed at which we were hit. Other than being slightly dazed by the impact, I was not injured at all, despite the impact being right on the driver’s door. “The design and safety features of the Outback protected me perfectly. I now have 55,000 miles on the vehicle and the only mechanical issue has been the rear wheel bearings, (design issue). If not for that, I would have rated it as 5 out of 5 stars.

Literally love this car. Great exterior and interior. Technology is a wow. Lane assist and eyesight work great and intuitive. Plenty of space including the second row is great for adults and really liking the heated front and back seats. Engine has reachable headlight cases and battery which is a big plus. Lots of compliments on the wheels and overall look of the vehicle. Expect to keep this one a long time.

Whole lotta hype

Purchased my 2016 Outback in Sep 15. Battery had to be replaced at 30K. Windshield angle is prone to picking up rocks off the interstate. At 48K I had to replace the rear rotors and pads. At 61K I had to replace the front rotors and pads along with a left rear wheel bearing and hub. The infotainment system is a constant irritant as it constantly locks up or changes settings on its own.
