Subaru outback review: tires and brakes.
I sometimes have brake and tire issues. I have had my brakes checked about three times in the last 6 years, which I feel is more than needed. My tires need to be over inflated in order to get the tire light to turn the light back off. But otherwise, very safe and reliable car.

150,000 miles and still going strong!
I love Subaru. This is my second Subaru and I have had a great experience, even though I admittedly abuse my outback. I have a 2" hitch and regularly pull my pop-up camper and a dump trailer. I passed 150,000 this month and she is still going strong.

Awesome all around vehicle for lots of use.
Very sturdy vehicle with a nice interior. Not really too much to complain about. The leather is a huge plus - gas mileage is great and the car runs reliably. My car also has a sunroof, which is a great addition. I have heated seats and a great sound system. This car is perfect for me in performance for the activities I enjoy.

My Subaru is super spacious!
I have bought my vehicle used and it is still working great! It is a super reliable car and comfortable and easy to take care of. It does have an outlet facing the back seat which is quite helpful for long road trips. Also it is quite spacious in the back seat and trunk.

Comfortable and reliable!
It is a very comfortable, reliable and well worth it vehicle. Easy to use functions and features that the owner can figure out easily without the use of the manual. Lots of room and space! Perfect for long trips, camping and going across the country. You could practically live in that car if you really needed to and feel perfectly comfortable. I have never felt more confident as a driver on the road and I have never felt safer. A good car for anyone that needs something reliable and easy to use.

Good car but after a while it will sound awful.
The cars perfect except the heat shields weakened and the car sounds awful. The window had the lining come up so the window gets stuck while rolling it down because the rubber folds over. When you hit 65 mph there’s a slight vibration. The Bluetooth does not always connect.

My vehicle and highlights of its performance.
Nothing yet I have had to deal with I have been on many trips with it so far and have not had any problems with it what's so ever. It has been a decent car and if things continue I may think about buying another one later on. Until then I am just hoping that my car continues to run good as it has been.

Subaru outback is a good family car.
It runs great goes good in snow decent gas mileage pretty good space for loading supplies etc. Wish it has air conditioning vent in the back and was maybe a little higher clearance in the snow. Enjoy the heated seats and Bluetooth features. Overall rides good on freeway easy to get in and out. Fits a family of five.

Wonderful all-encompassing car.
I love this car. It never rolls on hills, it can drive just about anywhere without you feeling like you are driving on a different surface, it has good mileage. It is also a nice green color with the trim. Comfortable to be in, good size (especially for a family or group of friends), easy to drive for inexperienced drivers and feels safe.

The reliability, why I bought it, not for its features
The back up camera started glitching after 4 years. Too expensive to replace at the dealership so I'm living without it. No vents in the back seat for heat or AC besides the floor vent under the drivers and front passenger seats. No USB plug in the back seat either. The radio is generic even when the car was brand new. All stations are static regardless of location so I use the Bluetooth feature to listen to Pandora. For a 34k plus, car; it's a huge miss price-wise. I'm not sure I'd get another outback, unless it's had a major overhaul of those missing features or quality of the faulty ones.

Subaru Outback: My Favorite Car Yet
I've always loved having a Subaru. They're reliable, practical, good on gas, and overall a great choice for a car. Weather driving through rough backroads, or crushing city streets, my Subaru has failed to let me down to this day. It can fit tons of equipment, groceries, or anything else you can think of. This makes it great for families as well as lone wolves looking to explore.

The Subaru Outback is a comfortable and very dependable vehicle.
Subaru Outback is a very comfortable and, most importantly, a very dependable vehicle. The Outback features a smoother and much more comfortable ride than the Forester. I have back problems and chose the Outback as I was able to drive longer distance with less back pain. This is the second Outback that I have owned and would never buy anything but a Subaru. Handling is also very good especially in winter conditions which is important as I live in Maine. The only downside to the Outback is the price. They do tend to be more expensive than other SUVs.

I will always buy Subaru.
I absolutely love my Subaru outback. I‘ve driven it in all sorts of extreme weather in the northeast and have always felt safe. During heavy snowfall, I was able to safely drive up steep hills and pass other vehicles that were unable to make the same climb on the slippery roads. The ride is incredibly smooth and seats are comfortable. My vehicle includes the winter package with lovely heated seats and exterior defroster on the rear view mirrors. I will continue to drive my outback until it is no longer to be driven. And, only then will I replace it with a new Subaru.

My Subaru Outback has been very reliable. It gets excellent gas mileage and only ever has to go in for routine maintenance. With over 120,000 miles on it, I still feel safe in my car and I don't have to sink a lot of money into keeping it working. I will buy a Subaru again.

2012 Subaru Outback is a good car for New England winters
Overall good vehicle. Transmission went at 98,000 miles and was fully covered under 100,000 mile warranty. No other concerns noted with the vehicle. With regular maintenance the car is running well at 120,000 miles. Living in New England, the all wheel drive and high undercarriage are beneficial in the winter.

How our car can do for our family and be our sustainable cool blue Subaru.
The Subaru I use is a powerful driving car. It has great mileage and drives very safely. When I want to go on a long trip it is there to take me where I want to go with who I want to go with. My car has a nice camera that I can use to see when I am in reverse when I need to back up and get out safely. It is also in a good anti-theft LoJack state. With good a stable environment for it to have its alam signal there's less danger lingering. There have been several ways to enjoy the cool driving of the car. We always love using our radio when we go out traveling it sounds excellent! We definitely always pick our favorite radio stations to listen to. We use the cars satellite radio and enjoy tons of live entertainment. There have been cold trips included, the frozen window covered in ice, not being able to see and having to get the special anti freezing window washing fluid. There have been repair issues to because it has been driven.

Comfortable adventure car.

Subaru is great! But, they do have a few issues.
Subaru makes great cars that you really can love. My car goes everywhere and acts as lodging for road trips. My car has 208,000 miles on it. I just replaced the catalytic converter for the second time and the head gaskets for the first time, timing belt for second time and she is running really well! Like new! So, around $6,000 later and I basically have a new car. I purchased the car new so I prefer to keep a car in which I know all of the maintenance history. I do not like that the headlights burn hot, I had to install wiring harnesses and still have to change those and the bulbs regularly. I also do not like that the seats stain easily with water only. Argh! But, overall, I love my car!

I really love the size of the car.
At 108,000 miles the a/c broke which was really disappointing. There seems to be refrigerator leaking. The control arms on the front both needed to be replaced as well as the ball joints.

The rate on the miles per gallon this vehicle gets is great.

My car was a lemon so a lot of things went wrong at first. Had to spend thousands of more dollars to get it running again. And there was a defect with the car that needed a recall but Subaru cover the recall. I didn't like that at all. Not fair! Just because my car was a lemon!

The 2012 outback, family vehicle in a sporty body.
The 2012 outback is a very good safe car to buy for the price, they hold their value, and with good care they can last you past 200,000 miles, with any car they have their problems. But with good maintenance, and taking care of them they are no problems, they are spacious enough for if you have kids to fit all the necessities in it, the rear seats can fold down and can fit a good amount of stuff in it with ease, they are still very sporty for a wagon, but ride very comfortably on the road.

Loyal Subaru customer. 12th owned Subaru for family.
This will be my families 12th Subaru. These vehicles are extremely reliable, have good gas mileage, sturdy, perform well in all conditions, have not experienced many mechanical issues. The only downfall I have seen with Subaru is when you have a headlight go out, it is not easy to change the light, you have to remove multiple panels to get to the light bulb so I feel like Subaru can improve on this. Considering everything that could go wrong with vehicles, this is the only thing I have to complain about. Safety features are a priority for me especially having a toddler and Subaru offers some of the best features regarding safety. I will always be a Subaru customer.

2012 Subaru manual transmission outback review.
It is a manual which I love. We have had to do some expensive repairs but it is almost to 200,000 miles so that is to be expected. It gets great gas mileage and does well in adverse weather conditions. Also, I am very short, but this car works well for me but also my tall friends.

This is by far the best vehicle I have ever driven. It is reliable in all weather conditions and handles particularly well in snow. The Outback is the best model if you are looking for something low mid-size, yet large enough to carry big items (especially for the outdoor enthusiast, it is great for all types of outdoor gear). The smaller liter engine gets exceptional gas mileage, but I would consider purchasing the larger liter engine if you are interested in more pick-up. Overall and exceptional buy - I will continue to purchase Subaru’s.

Good car to travel with. Does well on hills, in mud, on the beach, on rocks, and in high water.

I bought the car used from an auto auction and I absolutely love the car. It rides smoothly, no issues so far, it has bluetooth and aux capabilities and it is so quiet to drive. The car has a backup camera in the rearview mirror so it helps to park the car. Best car I have ever owned!

Cannot go wrong with a Subaru!
My Subaru has been dependable and affordable. I had issues with the gadgets when I first bought it two years ago but haven't had any issues since then. The brakes need to be replaced but it is not going to be too costly. Frankly, I do not see myself buying any other kind of vehicle. They have lots of space, great on gas, and you can drive them anywhere. Since it snows in my area, the all wheel drive comes in handy. You simply cannot go wrong with a Subaru.

COMFORT/ RELIABILITY
HVAC is really poor. Side windows are not weatherproof. Properly maintained, may run forever but will be uncomfortable because of HVAC.

Harman kardon stereo system is by far the best audio system.
I love my Subaru outback. It is reliable and drives great. I drive it off road and it handles dirt roads like a pro. It is not to big like an SUV or a truck but has just as much room to hold all of my supplies for camping. The stereo system is awesome and it has just the right amount of extras to make it glamorous. I live in WI and the fact that it is AWD makes it the only vehicle I will ever drive again.

Comfortable commute vehicle.
The car is comfortable to drive. The larger engine lets you navigate through traffic easily. Drove this car commuting two hours a day for three years. It is a comfortable commuting vehicle. I am able to fit both a bicycle and golf clubs comfortably with the seats that fold over.

Outstanding outback for the family.
Have no problems. Just upkeep. The vehicle is very comfortable and keeps super gas mileage. It's a very safe. It was affordable and has a great resale value. It is the type of car that is stylist and can be for a night on the town or in rural roads. I would suggest a light color.

I love Subaru! I wouldn't buy any other car!
I love the outback! It goes great in the snow and I can always drive, no matter what the conditions. The cargo space is awesome. It is a smooth drive and is a beautiful car. It does not give me any troubles where I need to get things fixed a lot. The seats are really comfortable and I love the sound system.

I like the smaller size - smaller than a minivan or SUV, but yet enough room to haul many things in the back. I like the 4 wheel drive and the handling it provides all the time as well as more security while driving in the snow. I like the simplicity of the console in the 2012 model. And we bought a Subaru due to the brand's quality record - low maintenance costs. We hope that holds true for us and we can have this car for many years with only simple routine maintenance.
A great basic hatchback car with all-time four wheel drive.

Great mileage per gallon for such a large car.
Great gas mileage - I have a long commute on the highway and get 28 mpg. There is lots of car trunk space and I like the compartment that is a hideaway. Absolutely love the backup camera and seat warmers. Bluetooth connection is also fantastic - and great stereo. There was a safety recall on airbags a couple years ago. My tire pressure alarm has gone off twice in two days despite me filling up the tires. Comfy seats.

Great All Purpose Vehicle - Reliable, Low Maintenance Cost, All Wheel Drive
All wheel drive - We live in the country and it is great for winter. It gets very good gas mileage, is very reliable. It is a great size with seats folded down for carrying many thing.

A trustworthy vehicle that will adapt to all of your adventures.
Most definitely a reliable and safe vehicle. Some years I barely put 4k miles on the car and it is garage kept. The only problem I have ever had was the plate covering the catalytic converter deteriorated rapidly. The seats have all the features I could want, being 5'2'. This was my first car for my first baby, a choice I felt very comfortable with. The only thing I could have wished for is a trunk that pops open. It comes in handy when you have babies!

The most reliable vehicle.
I have never had any issues with my outback. It is much more reliable than our other vehicle. I have taken it in for regular maintenance and have never had to take it in for anything else. No unexpected problems or financial surprises. Seriously love my car.

Safety
This car is a disappointment for handling, fuel economy, hate the cvt, lack of power I am sure due to the cvt. This is my fourth Subaru and always liked them before.

Space of SUV, comfort of car.
I love my outback. Spacious and tons of room for my dog and snowboard gear. Space like an SUV but feels more like a car when you're driving it. Good handling in rough weather and just feels safe. Love outbacks and this newer design looks really nice too.

Low price. All-wheel-drive. 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine. Low maintain fee.
My car is 2012 2.5 - 4wd outback, I love my car, because compare with other brands, I use the low price to get an SUV with all-wheel drive car. When I drive my Subaru to do snowboard, it is reasonably smooth, comfortable. And the all-wheel drive system easily pulled through water crossings, thick, let me enjoy my road trip.

It has stickers all over because my friend likes stickers.
It is comfortable to drive, it has nice speaker system. It is not to bad on gas and it is great for long trips. It fits my family and pets perfectly. It is great for mudding or driving to work. Overall it is a really good car.

The car has the best AWD system of all cars. It is great in the snow and on wet pavement.
I like that the Outback is a larger mid size car that also has all wheel drive. It is also a very reliable car they say. I also enjoy the gas mileage.

A great car to run around town, long trips and forest road exploring.
I love my outback. I have taken on many long trip out of town. I have taken it camping and laid the seat down in the back and slept in the outback comfortably. I have not had any problems with my outback. I have taken it out on forest roads and it handles beautiful. My dog even loves going on road trip in the outback. He has room to lay down or look out the window. I love the height from the ground not to high that I need a step ladder to get into my outback. I have had back problems and getting in and out of my outback is easy. The lumbar support helps when driving on long trips and easy to adjust at a push of a button.

On the road again with our outback.
Love our outback! Performance is great. Handles well in the snow and rain. Gas mileage is good. We downsized from a pickup and are not regretting our choice. Our outback has driven us cross country and up & down the coast several times already. Looking forward to its next adventure.

Great vehicle, would buy again
Love the spaciousness, the smooth ride, and the roof rack for additional storage. It drives nice, and controls are intuitively placed on the dashboard. We haven't had any repairs needed either. If you do the regular maintenance, it will last a long while.

All wheel drive and high ground clearance for our property.
Love the all wheel drive because we need it where we live. Able to manage our terrain yet acts like a comfortable sedan. Good gas mileage.

It's spacious. With 2 kids and a dog we have plenty of room to pack things in the back if we go places.
Love how we can pack up with the dog and go anywhere we want to. Great during the winter times driving through snow. We haven't had any real issues.
