I traded my old car for the Subaru Outback because I need better comfort and storage. Aesthetically and mechanically, this is a brilliant car, but the electronics are not that good. The touchscreen is full of glitches, and even for simple tasks, I have to navigate multiple menus, which is very annoying. The good thing about this car is that it has a high-quality and quiet interior which justifies its high price tag. The car performs well both on the freeway and in the city. If Subaru works on the electronics part, this car can be a treat to drive.

Commendable SUV model from Subaru brand
Do not expect the model to resemble a big sized SUV. But then this is in reality one such car from the mentioned genre. There is nothing that outstanding that is worthy to get mentioned about when it comes to the interior cabin of the model. Yet the model will satisfy you by... Read More

Competent Subaru car that wins heart with its seamless and controlled handling
I am totally fascinated with this car since this came to my life. I have gone for this as I got smitten by its body shape. This can stand out with its longer body shape other than the wheelbase. This is an ideal choice when it comes to medium sized crossovers. I would highly... Read More

Inconsistent finish, poor build quality
It is hard to believe that a new car can have so many issues. I purchased the Subaru Outback last July and it has made me very disappointed with its poor ride quality and build quality. From the moment it was delivered to me, it was clear that the Subaru Outback was not up to... Read More
