Used 2018 Subaru Outback for Sale

I thought Subaru was the safest vehicle I could buy for my children and I. Sure enough, three months after I got it, I had the kids in the car, and we were victims of a hit and run. Everyone was fine. No one even had to go to hospital. The back bumper was crumpled, but still drivable and nothing else on the car was damaged. $700 fix. Then, three more months go by and a recall is put out for the fuel gauge. It was incorrect, and people were running out of fuel and getting in accidents. It was another three months before a fix was found and they started fixing vehicles. Then there was a recall about phones not hooking up to the car, and you would lose your hands-free ability and risk getting a ticket. THEN my check engine light came on. I got in in ASAP, and no one called. Two days later on a Friday I call asking about my car and they offer a loaner. They say it will be ready Monday. Monday I call and can't get through. Same thing Tuesday. Wednesday my boyfriend drives down to check on it. I finally get it back Friday. When they finally told me what was wrong, they said the battery wasn't holding a charge, the passenger seat wasn't registering passengers so the airbag was inoperable. There was a sensor that wasn't working and the car was over heating. The A/C control had stopped working as well. Needless to say, I am heartbroken. $515 a month for a car with that much work in the first year...I am terrified to see what the future brings!

My 2018 Subaru Outback base 2.5i is a great car for the most part. The utility aspect of it is very good. There is so much space to put things in the car as well as leg room. Once you lay the rear seats down, you could literally put anything you want back there. The roof rack has foldable cross beams, and the visibility is amazing. The car performs great in all weather conditions including snow and ice. I never got stuck. The base model comes with a back-up camera, which helps immensely since it's a fairly big vehicle. The infotainment system is really easy to use and is very responsive. The ride comfort is just right. Not too hard or too soft. Absorbs bumps really nicely. If you have dogs, they will enjoy the car's roomy interior. The headlights are very bright too. Another thing I like is the amazing gas mileage for a vehicle of that size. Although it does most things really well, there are a few things that I think could be changed or improved on. The road noise is fairly loud for a vehicle that size especially on the freeway. The engine seems underpowered, especially coupled with the CVT transmission. Passing people is difficult and takes longer than expected. I can't imagine towing something with this vehicle as anything over 1,000 pounds would seem too much for it. After about 4,000 miles, I'm starting to hear weird clunks coming from the suspension over harsh bumps. Also, there seems to be some rattling on rough roads too. Nothing major though. Overall, I would really recommend this car to anyone looking for a very capable vehicle with lots of space and great usability.
