The cruise, lane assist and auto/emer braking are like having an autopilot on the freeway, it's amazing to feel it working even though I keep my hands on the wheel!

Overall just a great car. I have only had trouble with the radio/nav screen one time. The technology is great. The car is very comfortable. I love the smooth ride, and the engine is awesome. My dealer was also awesome. I think Subaru makes a great car. This is my first, and I I love it.

A great all around car that does everything well. I always had Honda's and Toyota's and was actually waiting for the new Rav4 to come out but on a whim I decided to test drive the Outback. Always liked the car and after test driving it I decided it was a good bet for me and my dog. It has all the bells and whistles and I have the navigation system included . I'm very happy with the car.

SUBIE RULES

Best all around SUV/Wagon. Takes snow/ice, hills and rough terrain like a champ. Yet, comfortable and roomy. Love the ground clearance and easy to get in and out, especially with a cup of hot coffee. Also, the mileage (average 28 mpg) is so easy on the wallet. My trade in used premium and got only 19 mpg. When buying time comes around again, the Outback will be tops on my list.

Great vehicle. Had a forester for 19 years. Absolute best vehicle I ever had. It had one (1) repair that totaled $340. Been driving this for a while now, no complaints!
