Well what can I say, we love this car. I bought this car for my wife because we live in the country and our driveway is 1\2 mile long and our house sits on top of the tallest hill for miles. I'm really surprised of all the features that this car has for the price point that it is. Great entertainment system, amazing saftey features, and it will climb hills that most mountain goats would turn around and head the other way. We test drove just about every other car that was in it's class, even the subaru Forester, but the outback was far and away the best. I can safely say that if you don't like this car, it's you and not the car turning you off. You would be hard-pressed to find a better car at it's price.

This is the best daily driver I've ever owned. Comfortable, easy to leave with, great driving position, logical controls, safety features are all excellent but what really makes this car great is how smooth, refined and competent on the road it is. Balanced and nimble, fun to drive, smooth and quiet and just fantastic in bad weather it is really a pleasure to drive every day. Previous cars include Mercedes, BMW, Toyota, Jeep, Suburban etc. but this car is just the best all around vehicle I've owned. Love it. Plenty of room for passengers and cargo, GREAT driving position, fantastic visibility make this easy to use on a daily basis. Get about 25 mpg average with 6 cylinder engine. I was concerned about a CVT but the one in this car works just great.....no droning or buzzing. Engine is very smooth and has a nice growl. Car is very nimble and tossable for what it is. My wife's GLC 300 handles a bit tighter but this is the better all around vehicle in my opinion. Note: Update....after 4 years and 50K miles I've had no problems with this vehicle.

Nice Car But One Obvious Improvement(s) Needed

In nearly all regards the Outback is a nice car. I rent it often. A couple of call-outs on improvements that can be made: 1) Most needed is a Voice Recognition system that WORKS. It's the worse of all the car makes that I rent. As an example: Just try and get it to call "Home." Not matter how many times I say the word "Home" the recognition system takes me to someone else. Say it slowly ... H....O....M....E and it doesn't work. Say it quickly, it doesn't work. Emphasize the HO...me and it doesn't work. It's simply ... pathetic. 2) Also, Subaru please upgrade the seat comfort, especially on Limited or at the very least, Touring. Look at Volvo and others as a model.

In year one I had big problems with the navigation system. Subaru replaced it and since then (1 year later) I've had no problems whatsoever. Works beautifully. Otherwise I love the vehicle especially because it has the 3.6 6-cylinder engine. Rides very smoothly, has great acceleration, lots of room for passengers, very roomy for groceries and luggage in trunk area. Quality of materials is on par with luxury brands and are very attractive. I would surely purchase another when the time comes.

After researching for several months and test driving the 2018 Honda CRV ( noisy, loud , no acceleration, 2017 Mazda CX5(no acceleration noisy, too cramped), 2018 Acura RDX( too expensive), we decided to go with the 2018 Subaru outback. It drives very smooth, acceleration is great for a 4 cylinder, very spacious 2nd row and trunk space. The safety features are awesome , my favorite being the rear cross traffic alert system where the car automatically breaks when reversing if it detects a object. ( great feature for parking lot in a mall where people are in a hurry ). Apple CAR PLAY works great.I can send text messages using voice commands.The EYE SIGHT safety system is awesome. Downhill assist, X mode, the list goes on. You get a lot of bang for the buck for sure.
