We just purchased a Subaru Legacy for my wife in January, so when it came time for me to replace my vehicle I already had a positive experience with her car so I shopped for the Outback. This car is amazing it has outstanding cargo capacity, the driving controls are well laid out, everything is intuitively where it should be. We live in the mountains so my commute is up and down a sharp winding road and this car handles it like its the freeway. I look forward to owning and driving this car till the doors fall off, which so far looks like it's mine for life!
I'm really enjoying the great gas mileage compared to the big suv I had. The bluetooth technology is great and I'm able to talk handsfree on the phone. The back-up camera adds a little extra help in seeing what's behind. I'm looking forward to seeing how it handles in snow and icy conditions since we are in the mountains frequently. I miss the cargo space in the suv, but with an after market roof cargo bag, the outback will be able to transport all my gear. The handling is great, parking is an ease and it's really got some pick-up for a six cylinder. If I could change one thing, I would add air conditioning in the back so my dogs can have their own air since they usually pretty warm and panting for air after their walks.
I have the 3.6R engine, and it's a powerhouse. More get up and go when you need it. Interior is very roomy, and well designed for maximum storage. The interior quality is good but not great. Nice features like reclining rear seats, stow away roof rack, plenty of cubby holes, and much more. The only negative is no rear air vents, so the back seat is hot/cold. Overall an excellent vehicle that is practical and stylish with a nice quiet and comfortable ride.
