I purchased this car new and I have had no problem with it. The maintenance is easy. I like how safe it is, I had a small accident on the freeway where someone rear ended me and the car had a very small ding in the back while the car that caused the accident had a smashed front end and needed to be towed. The car looks stylish, and it is easy to load things in to the back and lower the seats. The quality of the interior and the design of the front seat displays is intuitive and very attractive. I moved to Subaru after owning a Toyota SUV for a decade. I like the transition from a sporty, almost too heavy style to something which is compact and stylish. It uses much less fuel and the digital fuel gauge on the dashboard is always helpful. The car really picks up on the road, it's much more powerful than the SUV I used to own without looking intimidating.

About a little over a year ago I bought a Subaru Outback limited edition in October of 2015. Now this is the first car I have owned since having my 71' VW Beetle all the way through college and my first job. How did I get into buying an Outback? It was because of an ex-girlfriends mother who let me drive hers while we visited over the holidays. She owned an Outback and the car just drove let a champ. It had plenty of room to haul all my stuff. The gas mileage was equal to or better the my old Beetle depending on the terrain. Two of the best surprises was the steering and the power from such a small engine. Being a truck guy, I like my vehicle to be able to get me where I want to go no matter what the weather. This Outback did just that. Her mother lived in Seattle at the time of our visit and if you know Seattle, or Washington State for that matter, even when it is not raining it's still raining. The car got me everywhere and handled very well in bad weather on or off road. The thing did not let me down on the freeway either. Plenty of zip going up and down the road with no problem at all. In 2015 I decided to get a second vehicle and that vehicle was a new Outback. It drives even better than the one I drove in the past. Very good handling and excellent gas mileage, and the 15" all terrain tires make my fishing trips very easy. Easily my best purchase of 2015.
