Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: Yes 
Pros: Ruggedly stylish, superbly reliable, ultra safe handling
Cons: Slightly hard ride
The Bottom Line: A solid reliable performer; a good looking stylish off road vehicle with masses of room for driver and passengers and lots of cargo space.
I bought my Subaru Outback in March 1998. It is now coming to the time for a change and this is my retrospective of those three years of ownership. I have to admit that I am a dedicated Subaru owner (but I guess you either are or you aren’t). I had two...

Pros: Tight handling, suspension. 100% Confidant
Cons: none
I've recently been car shopping (After all August/September is the best time to buy a vehicle, especially close to the end of the month) and no matter how many vehicles I look at I keep coming back to the Outback.
My goals in buying a...

Pros: Handles well, good on long distances, fun to drive
Cons: Not enough power going up hills.
Picture this.... You're driving through mountain passes, the roads wind around giving way to spectacular views of mountain streams, ranches, lakes and valleys. You are trying to make good time because you want to make it to your campsite before dark....

Pros: Peppy 4-Cylinder, Very Spacious, Awd, Luxury, Many options
Cons: MoonRoof doesn't fully open, a bit pricey, paint chips easily
The Bottom Line: The bottom line is that this is an affordable stationwagon that gets great gas mileage, is luxurious, and is loaded with options
My parents own this car and I drive it quite frequently. We paid $23,500 loaded out of the door for a new 2000 Subaru Outback (fully loaded) The car has 62k miles and is still going like it’s brand new. The car has a lot of pep for a 4 cylinder ...

Pros: handling, quiet
Cons: rear seat leg room
I purchased a slightly used (1952 miles) Outback at the end of September - my 3rd Subie since 1991... and so far, this one is the best!(91 Loyale, retired at 165,000 miles, 95 Imprezia, still running fine at 215,000) It handles like a Subie, despite...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Great in cold snowy weather, decent interior features, stylish, fun and safe to drive
Cons: Foreign car design takes getting used to, doesn't have the room of a SUV
This was my second Subaru purchase. We upgraded from the Impreza AWD Wagon to the Outback AWD Wagon early in 2000. The Impreza made us loyal Subaru customers and so far the Outback has done nothing to change our minds. First of all the AWD (all...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Good fuel economy, excellent in winter driving, very reliable, well built
Cons: painfully hard front seats, inadequate front passenger leg room, one intermittent wiper speed
The Bottom Line: Recommend for its low life cycle cost; didn't cost much relative to other wagons, gets good gas mileage on 87 octane. Quite quiet at highway speeds and has enough amenities.
We have had our Outback since Dec., 1999. In general, it's a little gem with some small impurities. ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Reliability, safety
Cons: Little plastic covers won't stay on.
I'm still just as fond of my Outback after all these miles as I was from the start. My first trip in it included a torrential downpour in Pueblo, CO and shortly after it took me through a blizzard in the Rocky Mountains.
At its 90,000 mile...

Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: No 
Pros: It's wheels
Cons: It's only wheels
The Bottom Line: If I were you I'd stear clear away from this car.
Lets start with the bad....The list of problems people have had with Outback include brakes, door seals, check engine light, O2 sensor recall, engine knock, mis-aligned trunk, and some electrical ghosts that live in the CD changer. The have resulted in 8...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Superior safety/dependability/driving quality
Cons: Few dealerships in some regions
For years I've been looking for the perfect hybrid car/SUV vehicle, one with all the virtues of both and the disadvantages of neither. Only one vehicle, the 2000 Subaru Outback Limited, has come close enough to that admittedly impossible requirement to...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: AWD system, fit and finish, features
Cons: Poor color selection
Maybe I'm not the ultimate arbiter of this car yet, since I've only had it a week, but so far I love it. I've wanted one for five years now and finally stepped up to the plate and bought a black Outback Limited. It's extremely comfortable, the AWD...

Pros: dependable, AWD, ABS
Cons: underpowered, cheezy stereo
I've been driving the outback for several months now, and I must admit it's got a lot of great advantages. I, personally, am a bit more of a sports car enthusiast, but as a family car the outback is a good choice for a safe, quiet, comfortable ride. The...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: nice ride, like the hatch, reliable
Cons: doesn't work well with car seats, gas guzzler, small fuel tank
The Bottom Line: Watch out for the car seats!
You'd think that a wagon would be well tested with car seats, but we HATE the Outback with our rear facing car seats. It is very difficult to install a car seat. I wrestled with the seat belts for over an hour the first time I installed one. It is...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: AWD, handling, looks, utility, good gas mileage, fit and finish, adaptable for all occasions.
Cons: At times dealer dependent support sparse, head gasket issue, highway power.
The Bottom Line: A great all around practical AWD vehicle if you can get past the initial head gasket problem that is plaguing these engines.
I owned a 2000 Outback and loved the heck out of it. Not the fasted thing on the road, but the most confidence inspiring and sure footed out there. Love the styling, the way it drives and its utility. It was a car for all occasions. Whether going out for ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: comfortable, good appearance
Cons: small, light feeling, doors feel tinny
The Bottom Line: This car is a good middle priced car that is perfect for someone looking for a lasting, low priced car.
This car is an attractive view to the eye, but has a cheap feeling to it. The small interior has the passangers cramped, and the light feeling to the car always has you feeling as if your going to roll right over on the side. However, for the low price,...
