Quite and comfortable. On the down side all the safety systems can be distracting.

Smooth quiet ride with attractive interior and exterior. All of the safety equipment like blind spot indicator and backup camera are available on most models, not just on the top trims. Fun to drive. Solid ride. Really sharp car inside and out. Safe. Safe. Safe.

Been a Subaru owner for 13 years and after test driving other vehicles, landed right back on the Subaru Outback. Love everything about it.

Not Impressed

Traded in a 2023 Crosstrek Sport for a 2025 Outback Premium. My husband has back issues and had trouble getting in and out of smaller Crosstrek. I will say the Outback has very comfortable seating and the roominess is great. BUT, I have owned it since Jan 1st and cannot get gas mileage over 26 on highway. We live in a rural area so no city driving. I am very unhappy with mileage. I am also not impressed with the overall look of the interior. Seems very generic compared to my Crosstrek Sport. The sound system is mediocre at best, the tech screen is very slow and distracting. The steering responsive headlights are worthless, almost dangerous on curvy hilly country roads such as we have here. I keep SRH off always. The auto engine shutoff is a pain in the neck. I turn it off each time I drive. The cargo cover in hatch area is very hard to take in and out. I like to use it but with dogs in car every now and then it's in the way and hard to remove. The cargo mat is cheap thin plastic. The mat on my 23 was heavy duty rubber and bendable. Truly, more on this car to dislike than like. If it weren't for the facts that my disabled husband can enter and sit and exit comfortably and that I got 0% financing I think I would look for something else other than an Outback.

Skip It Completely!

I would love to say I love this car, but I really made a huge mistake. Avoid this piece of junk. The computer has latency issues and the touch screen is from 1998 or something. And since EVERYTHING is electric the whole car is a huge disappointment. As soon as I can figure out how to get rid of it without it costing a lot of extra money I will jump at the chance. Wish I had my 2009 Hoda civic back>
