A wagon, not an SUV

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

0 of 1 people found this review helpful

The 3.6R entry was a racecar in station wagon clothing. CVT aside, this thing moved. Unfortunately, it also suffered from wind noise and an unstable, unpredictable suspension. The dealership said everything was fine, but my wife and I noticed a slight sway over some bumps that had not been present before. Eventually, opted to trade up to an Ascent, but may look at Outbacks again in 2021 as the size was more manageable than the big rig. Update Feb. 2021: Traded in the Ascent with less than 3K miles for another Outback. Not to make this more of a review for the Ascent, but it was just too big for what we needed, and could barely fit in the garage. Worst of all, the wife didn't feel comfortable driving it. So, went back to the Outback Limited XT and couldn't be happier. The wind noise problems were resolved, and the suspension is uniform. I'd still recommend a 2016 Outback Limited 3.6R to anyone looking to buy used. Just make sure the price is more than a few thousand less than a new one.
