2012 Subaru Outback - Everyone should own a Subaru in their lifetime

I love my vehicle. The AWD (all-wheel drive) is excellent when it's rainy. It is as big as a mid-size sedan, but it is 4 inches higher and 4 inches longer than the Subaru Legacy. This allows for great windshield visibility. I definitely like the increased window size; it lets me change lanes more comfortably and reduces seeing a blind spot. I like the dashboard interface. It is extremely easy to set up and the sound system provides clear audio. The seats are comfortable; I would not mind sitting in this car during a long trip. The only dislike about this car is that sometimes, when I let my foot off the gas pedal, the engine "rattles" a bit.

Story

One memory I have had with this vehicle is using it to drive to a local cat cafe.

Pros

The best things about this vehicle are the increased visibility (especially while turning), and the added height of the vehicle. I definitely like how comfortable the seats are, and how easy it is to accelerate and decelerate. Cruise control is excellent. I also like the rearview window wiper. It's cute and reminds me of a wagging tail.

Cons

The only negative thing I notice about this vehicle is that sometimes, the engine sounds somewhat like a truck "dub-dub-dub".

2007 Subaru Outback - long lasting FWD family vehicle

The Subaru Outback is one of the best family vehicles on the market. It has ample room in the trunk to hold groceries and strollers. The rear seat allows you to put in two car seats or keep your preschoolers far enough apart that they don't fight. It is narrow enough to comfortably fit in a garage while roomy enough to be comfortable. Heated seats are standard. It handles muddy and icy streets well. It comes with a powerful engine that goes 0 to 60 well before you reach the end of the highway ramp. This is one of the most reliable vehicles I've owned in 20 years. They rarely need repairs until it hits the 100K mile mark. This is the second Subaru Outback I've owned, which tells you how much I liked the vehicle.

Story

When ice storms shut down schools and work for several days in Texas, my Subaru was able to go down the driveway and then up the street without slipping and sliding while other people were stranded. When I bought my second Subaru Outback, it looked just like the first one, even the same color. My young son assumed I'd gotten the broken car fixed. My older daughter recognized it was a differe...

Pros

It is affordable, less than 30K new. The Subaru Outback handles ice and snow well. The vehicle gets good mileage, never doing worse than 20 miles per gallon even fully loaded in stop and go traffic.

Cons

You have to pay extra for leather seats and the ability to brighten the dashboard lights when the headlights are on. You must pay extra or after-market rates for a rearview mirror with a compass built in. Replacement parts cost more because these aren't as common as Nissan Altima's and Ford trucks. Finding a mechanic with experience repairing Subaru's is something of a challenge.
