Great cruise control assist -- I didn't have to put my foot on the accelerator for an entire hour! The car just adjusts to the speed of traffic. It warns me if I'm leaving my lane or getting close to the edge, and warns me if I'm stopped at a light and the car in front has already started moving -- keeps those impatient drivers from honking! Also brakes automatically to prevent hitting something in front or back. Great job designing this car Subaru!

Top of the line 2018 3.6r touring. Less than a year old and less than 10k when issues started. Infotainment system had multiple black out, squiggling line issues before completely failing. Subaru did replace with “updated” unit after 5 weeks of driving around with nothing I paid for (nav, Harmon Kardon sound, Bluetooth, back up camera). Called Subaru customer service number, very nice. They told me they would make it a more positive experience? Not sure what that means as they haven’t followed up or offered anything to me. Saying something and doing are 2 different thing folks. Rattles in this car are like a disease. They come and go and I never know why. I’ve have had several that sound like they’re behind the...you guessed it, infotainment system. Maybe there’s some parts just rolling around that nobody has found. Latest issue, the passenger side climate control temperature display went blank for no apparent reason. After turning unit off and back on it shows itself again. I wonder what the next year of ownership brings, ugh!

We're from New England, I've had 2 Foresters, and now 4 Outbacks. I came back to Subaru in Connecticut; because I wanted to go fishing for trout and salmon upstate Vermont and New Hampshire. This meant going through the backwoods and offroad. My other car simply couldn't do it. The other big plus is it's always been all wheel drive, so snow, heavy rains don't brother it... It can get us where we want to go at any given time!!each of my vehicles has served us admirably for tens of thousands of miles without ever needing a service call.

Electronics nightmare, Subaru won’t or can’t fix

The ‘Head Unit’ on our 2018 Outback has not worked since we bought it. Have had two dealership ‘reboots’ which did nothing. They suggested it was my iPhone problem - ithe vehicle definitely has Apple CarPlay issues, but I can’t even count on the radio working. Tried husband’s iPhone - didn’t help. Then - on third try to get it fixed, I was told that all updates were current and that they couldn’t reproduce the problems - therefore they couldn’t fix anything. Two days later same problems occurred. The mechanic asked me to take a ‘video’ of the screen when it failed - how ridiculous is that??? Finally (just at two years into the problem, they replaced the system - and it failed again today. Wish I had never heard of Subaru - will never buy another one, and would certainly not recommend a Subaru to anyone.

This was our family second Subaru but my first. I have been stuck a few times in snow due to depth and unplowed roads in Northern Minnesota. The Outback could care less about an unplowed road. It goes in the snow and feels very planted. The ride is excellent. Love the seats and the comfort. I enjoy the safety features. The back up warning has been impressive. The car has just under 80000 miles with no mechanical issues. Happy with the car. .

I love my new Subaru Outback - just recently felt the need to look at vehicles and realized that the Edge I had been driving was a money pit, had no resale value and to top it off, I had been taken advantage of by the dealership. In the process of searching the purchase market for a new car and after careful examination I was drawn to the Subaru. This car is all I will ever need in a vehicle. To the Colorado mountains then to the seashores with road trips a many and yes a car to love!

Love this car. Went with the 4 and I’m happy with the mileage. Great set of features and confort for the price. I'm now at 160000 miles with no serious issues. I had a minor problem with the outside temp reading way off It seems fine but the dealer made a note of it. The STARLINK does have issues connecting to Apple car play at times and could use more refinement.

First, I should mention I have owned 5 Subaru's, four of them Outback (2004, 2016, 2018, 2018), one a BRZ (2016). Because of my experience with the 2004 Outback (over 400K miles), I continue to buy them today. Both Outbacks stilling running strong. The 2018 Outback is technically a "wagon" most professional reviewers say. Why do they use the term, I don't know, since it's the basic design for all SUV's; a hood, two(or three) row seating, and cargo space access via a hatch, and has roof rack capability. Even though 5 can sit in the car, if it's a regular occurrence, then the Outback will be too small, consider the new Ascent. Plan on 4 maximum for any regular trips over 25 miles. If you have to haul five people all the time, your not reviewing an Outback anyway. Under Performance: I do give it 4 out of 5 stars. True, it lacks "power" but in all seriousness; if someone is looking for power and performance, why are you looking at a wagon or SUV in the first place. Being able to do the quarter mile in ten seconds isn't the reason I am buying this car. It can merge into traffic just fine. Safety is like no other: Electronically: it was almost everything you can get. Some safety electronics you can turn off on the occasion it isn't needed, but I find that to be a user problem, not a vehicle problem. Physically: My nephew is a 15+ veteran being a paramedic and he told me it's one of the few manufacturers the EMS received this: the reinforced B-pillars are just one component of what Subaru calls its "Ring-Shaped Reinforcement Frame body structure." In other words, he said it's a very strong cage around the passenger area of the car. So strong that they have special instructions to use the jaws-of-life if needed. Do a web search, you'll see. Maintenance has been a breeze thanks to having an inverted oil filter on top of the car. All engines should do this. Most everything under the hood is easy to get to for all you DIY's. As mentioned, I do own two 2018 Outbacks (wife and daughter). One car has 23K miles and the other 38K miles...none have any issues. I had planned on a 2016 Outback for the daughter but learned of idle problems with A/C on. I was skeptical of those 2016 reviews until I owned one. For a total of three days. The reviews were right and I returned the car for a full refund. I am surprised of the issues of the 2016 and how it seemed Subaru couldn't fix the problem which is not the norm. Next day, bought another 2018. Very happy I did. I rarely see a good condition Subaru on ANY used car lots other than a dealer. That should tell you something. People keep them or the dealers snap them up at auctions. Of course, I guess that depends on where you live. In North Carolina, the Subaru Outback is gaining popularity fast. My personal estimate in the mountainous areas: 1 out of 10 cars is a Subaru, the others are trucks to pull non-Subaru's out of the ditch.

I’m telling you this car is giving my wife and I more heartaches then life itself. Bought brand new 2018 Subaru Outback premium from world Subaru in Shrewsbury New Jersey, the car has at least 10 problems also recalls sent owner Joe Wojda emails, he got on it right away, this was purchased brand new, my 1998 Ford Taurus with 150,000 is the car my a/c, stereo, power windows door locks trunk all work fine, please people don’t trust in material things, this car was bought cause it was the safest for my wife, owner Joe Wojda said he trusts his staff 100%, I trust no one except my Lord JESUS CHRIST 100% so Subaru has the car since Thursday Jan 10 2019, they left a detailed message on my machine which doesn’t address at least 9 problems, but said they needed to keep it till next week, they had a problem with the ascent where they couldn’t fix the problem with the welts which if your in an accident the welts have to be welded just at the correct points, so they gave everyone brand new vehicles, because without the welts in the exact spot, an accident might not keep you safe, so what about my car there’s at least 10 things wrong with it, I guess the federal government and several other entities that hold all power in this heartache car situation must make the right move or maybe Subaru stocks will plummet to 0% unless they do the right thing.

Is the Outback the best wagon out there? I think not. I've compared it to a Corolla iM and a 5 series wagon. The 5 series is more tech savvy, more luxurious, reliable, and safe. Yes, so are its Japanese rivals, but they're not as luxurious, technologically advanced, and, dare I say it, not as safe. So, if you're in the market for a wagon, go for the BMW.

sit in the driver seat and learn all the controls how to turn on and off things how GPS works does it need cell phone lot to olearn Let the dealer go over all the electronics and how to use them. Do not drive off thinking you know all the controls, you don't. Check foot room between brake and gas. Check getting in and out of car space between wheel tight skirt no go. Steering wheel adjust poor. Good and bad

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.

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.

Acceleration is decent but very loud, it’s almost painful but it gets up to 65 in decent time. Braking is fine. Handling is a little on heavy side. View is superb and not much of blind spot. Technology...lots of safety measures, almost overwhelming. As most Japanese brand Subaru beeps most of the time, so be aware of beeping. It was a loaner so perhaps mine wasn’t best shape (2k miles on it), cargo hatch was malfunction and couldn’t get it open even the dealer, and again the cause of beeping. Mine wa limited trim bit didn’t have AC vent in the back which was no-go for Florida summer. ECU wasn’t easy to manipulate. Infortainment wasn’t easy to operate either. Overall this is a decent wagon, just some technical issues I witnessed...beep beep beep.

I bought this car new in 2018. It has been a good car and hasn’t given me any major issues. There are a few minor issues tho. The paint chips very easily, so you have to use touch up paint on it from time to time. Also the driver side seat could be more comfortable. Everything else about the car is great.

The car is ok but I've had so many little technical errors and I've only had it for 2 years. The switch to move the seat only sometimes works. The touch screen ghost pushes buttons and I'm told to fix it costs thousands of dollars and the most annoying part, there is no off button, all I can do is turn the volume down. My tire gauge sensor is glitchy and again the annoying part is I can't adjust my display settings until I "fix it" (which they have done multiple times). If the battery dies prepare to tow the whole car cuz it will lock itself down or you'll have to call a lock smith just to pop the hood to charge it. If you lose your key fob the car alarm will go off EVERY TIME you unlock the car with the key until you drop $300 on a new key fob. To open the trunk you have to turn the car completely off. If the car dies while the trunk is open, once you get it going again the alarm will go off continuously and the only fix is to drive to Subaru dealership (with the alarm blaring the entire time) and get them to reset it. Subaru has designed this car so you HAVE to take it to them to fix every tiny little thing. For how much I paid for this car I should not have to pay as much as I have to maintain it. Also note that the radio display does well working with apple phones but if you have a Droid or Google phone good luck getting it to integrate.

Update: I've had this a little over 4 years and I still love it. The only issue I have is with the dashboard button to lift the rear door. Occasionally I can only open it by getting out of the car and using the open grip on the door. The only goody it doesn't have is automatic windshield wipers. I wish it had them. ~ My previous vehicle was 18 years old. There was a learning curve with all the new technology in this car. Once I figured out all the technicalities, I wonder how I did without them. The gas mileage is awesome.

Love this in the snow. Outstanding in NH winters. Wish mileage was better though not bad for its size. Zero to sixty could be better.
