1996 Subaru Outback - Driving in Heaven
The Subaru Outback Legacy is a wonderful car with infinite possibilities. The car is 20 years old and still runs like a peach. The interior has held up extremely well over the years. In many older cars, the ceiling fabric will start to droop and come off. This has not happened and does not appear that it will happen in the Subaru. The car has wonderful features and different placement of the features compared to traditional cars. The emergency light button is in the middle above the radio, the fog lights' button is on the dash by the steering wheel, and the wipers' stick operates like a blinker stick in American vehicles. This car does an exceptional job climbing hills and can overtake similar sized vehicles as well as large trucks. In addition, the Subaru performs exceptionally well i... (more)
Story
We took the Subaru to the lake and popped open the back hatch. We grabbed a couple of beers and sat in the back, looking out over the lake. It was so peaceful and wonderful to sit in the comfy Subaru.
Pros
The Subaru does an exceptional job navigating blizzards in the winter time on highways and city streets. The Subaru has great wind/air dynamics and is not easily pushed around on the highway. The Subaru has tons of horsepower to keep it going. The car is lifted off the ground slightly to allow for more off-roading.
Cons
Nothing! This car is absolutely perfect!
2012 Subaru Outback - Amazing and dependable.
I purchased this vehicle in 2012 and have had absolutely no issues with it. The all wheel drive gets me through winter conditions, but it does not feel like a huge SUV. My husband and I have taken the car on road trips and camping and have fit everything we need into the back.
Story
We took this car into the Black Hills in snowy weather and easily made it up snowy roads. We spent 3 nights and were able to pack everything we needed for an outdoor adventure into the car with room to spare!
Pros
The trunk space provides a large amount of room for any trip. The rear seats even fold down for when more space is needed. We have fit a small couch in the back to move. The gas mileage for the size of the car has been very good, usually around 28 mpg. The ride quality has always been smooth and solid.
Cons
For the price, there are not as many bells and whistles as other cars. For example, the passenger seat only moves manually, the Bluetooth does not work very well with any phone we have paired it with. Also, the voice controls seem to be extremely out of date and are very frustrating whenever I am forced to interact with them. Finally, the power of the engine is not enough for the size of the car. Subaru did everything they could to maximize economy and sacrificed get up and go.
