Flippin amazing car

Love love love.... this car is absolutely amazing. Keep up the good work Subaru! Upgraded from our 2004 forester with 250k miles and it feels like we are driving a Rolls Royce couldn’t be happier.

Nicest car I have ever owned!

The Subaru is fantastic, It has a lot of options, the important ones like the winter package for the cold northeast winters! It was off lease and had 30K on it when I bought it. It still smells new! Battenkill Motors put 4 new tires on it new brakes and a new battery in it before I took delivery. it’s my 3 year old brand new car!!!

Very reliable

Overall pretty comfortable drive. I use this car for commuting to work. It gives good mileage and good for winter driving conditions. One limitation is, you can not see the map when the ambient light is bright

The 2016 Subaru Outback is simply wonderful!

I can't say enough great things about our 2016 Subaru Outback 2.5i Limited. It's been the best car we've ever owned. We live in snow country and work on the mountain during the Winter and I wouldn't own anything but a Subaru up here in the North country. We put great Winter tires on it and it's rock solid in all kinds of road conditions. It's comfortable, sporty, drives sweet, is great on long trips and on short trips, gets great gas mileage has a lot of cargo space for it's class and has never given us any problems. Very functional and well thought out. As of right now, I could never see us without a Subaru. The 2.5i engine is a little underpowered, but the trade off is getting 30+ mph on a consistent basis and it's been fine for our needs. This car has exceeded all the hype, it's far better than any salesman will even have time to tell you about.

My fourth Subaru

It met all my expectations! I absolutely love it! The ride is so comfortable for the driver and riders. The heated seats are perfect for this weather. I have nothing negative to say. I just wish I could have purchased a new one!

Have only owned vehicle for a few days

Very well accessorized. Really too many bells and whistles for my need. Someone that is younger and more into cities and technology with cell phones will appreciate what this car has to offer. I personally will probably never use all of the gadgets.

Subaru Nation

First time owner of a Subaru, but I had heard they were safe and reliable. Purchased a 2016 used Outback. I love everything about it, and I love the customer service by Subaru and the local dealership. Plus, one of the safest cars on the road. I love the driving experience.

I feel secure in my Outback.

This car is superb in snow. I have to drive to a hospital for work and need a reliable vehicle. I have found comfort, ease of driving, and security in this SUV. I highly recommend it.
