Really loves the Subaru Outback 2.5 Limited
Bought the Outback to replace a 2006 B9 Tribeca. Surprised that the small engine does not fell sluggish at all during the day to day commute. Really enjoyed the safety features and technologies. Submitted a price quote on Edmunds. All three local dealers Edmunds included for the quote responded to me with actual pricing in an hour. The prices were very close to each other, all below the invoicing with the Subaru end of Feb promo. End up buying the car from the dealer I bought my previous Subaru at the exact price quoted in email. Best buying experience ever!

Really Love Our Outback
I never thought I would purchase a Subaru. We were looking at Volvo XC60 and Lexus RX350. Being senior citizens we wanted vehicles that are easy to get in and out off and found these cars are not. The vehicle we purchase needed to be great in the snow the Subaru is. When looking at the Outback the dealer gave us one to test drive for the weekend. We were immediately impressed with the Outback. It had snowed and it just went, no problems. The interior is good and it is easy to get in and out off. Appreciate the safety features and fuel economy. Thinking about replacing my 211 Mazda CX-7 Grand Touring with only 32,000 miles with a 2020 Outback when they are released. Really LOVE my wife's 2019 it sure beats her 2013 Honda CRV. Drove the 2020 Outback and considering replacing my 2011 Mazda CX-7 Grand Touring in April. Really impressed with 2020 Subaru and love our 2019.

Best value for a midsize SUV.
This is our second Outback Our first was a 2013 2.5 Premium which we drove 87K and never had any problems. We liked the updated interior of the 2019 2.5 Limited and the added safety features which resulted in the insurance being less than the 2013. The 4 cylinder is no hot rod but it is perfect for everyday use and returns on average 25 MPG around town and about 30 MPG highway. I personally love the CVT transmission as we live in Tennessee and you don't have that annoying hunting for a gear downshifting and upshifting going thru the mountains. Subaru has been perfecting their flat four cylinder engines since 1963, and they invented AWD which I need on my very steep driveway. There were some older problems with oil usage and head gaskets that were attributed to bad parts suppliers that have all been rectified. Another important aspect for me is that I am 6'4" tall and weigh 330Lbs and have plenty of room with the seat back. After almost 9K miles the only thing I'm not a fan of is the built in fake shifts that you can't disable. I bought the CVT because of the seamless smooth ride but for some reason they have programed in more pronounced fake shifts than my old 2013. We still love the car but wish we had an option to disable the fake shifts. I'm a 70 years old car guy from the 60's and also own a 392 Challenger with a six speed manual which I love to shift gears but I don't want this fake sensation in the Subaru.

Our best car ever!
Thanks for Edmunds review.....I will adjust my driving. Not as much acceleration as our 2007 Chrysler 300 AWD. Need to turn off A/C if passing. Have 6000 miles now - just got back from 3000 mile road trip/camping. So comfortable for all day driving. And in snow country, less shoveling = more driving.

A/C has never worked.
AC has not worked since new. Went to dealer and they said high pressure hose was leaking. Got car back and AC did not work again. Brought it back and they said a seal at condenser was leaking. Two weeks later got the car back and AC doesn't work. Now dealership is not returning calls. So disappointed in decision to buy this car. Want my money back!!!
