Best Car for the Money

2016 Subaru Outback 3.6R Limited 4dr SUV AWD (3.6L 6cyl CVT)

Reliability, utility, affordability, and comfort. It checks all boxes and is fun while doing it. Former Crosstrek owner, I even considered a truck for utility (specifically a Tacoma, worse MPG and comfort) or a sedan (BMW series and Honda accord, neither with the space or ground clearance of the Outback). If you enjoy driving, the 6 cyclinder 3.6R is worth it. 250+ HP is noticeable in the drivers seat. Slightly more thirsty than the new turbo boxers, but worth the immediate engine response and smooth shifting. I bought it 4 year old used with 55K on odometer. Now 70K and 5 years old, no issues whatsoever. If you’re frugal, practical, and want the best bang for your buck, this Outback is it!

I am now the very happy and proud owner of a 2016 Subaru Outback! Kris Tippens and co-workers at Subaru of Georgetown treated me like family and presented me with a great deal. If you're looking for a new car, first go to Subaru of Georgetown, ask for Kris Tippens and I promise you will be rewarded with kindness and respect...and a great car-buying experience!

A Great Investment

The 2016 Subaru Outback Limited is a great investment and all around vehicle. Families like it because of its cargo space and passenger areas. Senior citizens like it because it is lower than a SUV and easy to get into and out of. Everyone likes the gas mileage, comfortable ride and safety ratings.

Best car I’ve ever owned

As a senior citizen I have owned in my lifetime everything from vintage muscle cars to SUVs. Including BMW, Chevrolet, Acura, etc. My 2016 Subaru Outback is the most reliable vehicle of all. It takes me across the USA on my annual snow ski trips with ease, no snow plows required. It has never left me stranded or disabled. I cannot tell you hat a comfort that is to me. Truly this is the best car on the road for my needs. Excellent gas mileage, comfortable, large capacity for whatever you need to transport, low maintenance. All I do is the recommended maintenance, mostly oil changes every 6,000 miles, tires, wiper blades, etc. I’m a Subaru Outback owner for life. Just turned over 90,000 trouble free miles with a big smile on my face.

The 2016 Subaru Outback 3.6 model was a winner!

We purchased our Outback almost six years ago, and it now has 101,325 miles on it. We live in Colorado and like to ski, so the six-cylinder for us was a must. We have had zero problems with the vehicle, and have had it serviced at all recommended intervals.

Beautiful vehicle! Gas mileage is poor but I love the way I can cruise up mountains. I would get the four cylindar if you have a long commute.
