We recently purchased our 2nd Outback. We traded a car with 40000 miles and kept our 2016 Outback with 110000 + miles on it. We look forward to the next 100000 + miles in our new Outback.

2023 Subaru Outback Limited exceeds expectations

The 2023 Subaru Outback Limited surpassed my expectations. A very nice vehicle beyond the safety and durability of a Subaru. I had high expectations going in and still was impressed with the smooth ride, the very nice dashboard, the spacious interior, the luxury of the vehicle. Safe, durable, powerful, roomy, large backseat and storage area. Easy on the eyes and rock solid on the road. I do expect this Subaru to last a long time especially with my Subaru extended service and maintenance plans. I am already planning on getting another.

Never so happy to own a wagon

2023 Subaru Outback Limited XT 4dr SUV AWD (2.4L 4cyl Turbo CVT)

This car is lightning fast. Think of it as a WRX with 76 cubic feet of cargo space. Rides great. The interior is beautiful and the Harman Kardon sound system is incredible. I consider it more of a wagon than an SUV. Full array of safety features including blind spot, cross traffic alert, EyeSight, emergency braking. About the only negative I have is the backup camera. It works but it’s low resolution and awkward. The 76 cubic feet of cargo space is the same as an Ascent. What that means is that if you don’t need room for 7 or 8, get the cheaper, faster, better handling alternative, the Outback XT.

Great car! Drives like a dream ! Plenty of space for passengers and in the back for groceries, sports equipment or anything else you need to transport. Love my outback, would not drive anything else. Equipped with everything you could ever want in a vehicle.

Would give 4.5 stars if I could

2023 Subaru Outback Touring XT 4dr SUV AWD (2.4L 4cyl Turbo CVT)

I traded my 2022 touring XT for the 2023 of the same model, during that period when trade-in values were so high. Both cars have been great. The 2023 seems smoother, including the transmission and power delivery. Admittedly, the big screen is glitchy, but once you get to know it, it’s functional. The vehicle has been reliable. Yes, I wish it had more interior storage but bottom line on balance I think this is a fantastic vehicle - Especially for the price.
