- Spacious interior, crossover-besting cargo space, comfortable ride, simple controls on lower trims, commendable off-road performance for a wagon.
- Lacks agility, numb-on-center steering, awkward styling.

Another Great Subaru - 2010 Subaru Outback
By Fritz - February 27 - 8:06 pmMy fourth Subaru and thus far my favorite. This car is "tight" and well built. The 3.6 is a strong, smooth engine that works well with the 5 speed auto. The navigation system is easy to use and the Harman Kardon stereo sounds great. Interior room is MUCH improved over previous generations and overall it is well laid out. As one would expect this car handles the snow and cold with ease and is a blast to drive.

Love the 2010 outback...so far - 2010 Subaru Outback
By 1st-sub754Xwagon - January 17 - 6:50 amInitial impression is great. Loving the comfort of the leather seats and legroom. agree with other comments about rear and rear-backside visibility. Feels like a car in the corners, and a truck going over bumps and ruts. Kind of amazing that it has such a complient, yet sporty suspension set up. Spoil yourself with the limited, luxury interior touches, booming stereo, heated seats, sunroof, especially all that, 29 mpg on the highway, less than a stripped down, used highlander.Paddle shifters are a hoot. Total control and very fun. You can squeeze a little fun out of that 170 hp motor. Do miss a real temp gauge/ oil pressure gauge. Also, really need a backup camera in mirror, not NAV sys only.

Fix the front passed passenger seat - 2010 Subaru Outback
By Gary Hill - January 15 - 11:10 pmOverall we are happy with the car so far except for the height of the front passenger seat. My wife stated if she had known this she would not have bought the car.

Good, Not Great - 2010 Subaru Outback
By pasubi - December 24 - 4:00 pmOverall, happy with the car which meets 90% of our needs. Economical for size, comfortable, versitle, well designed ergonomic interior. Navigation, audio, voice activation very unintuitive and poor overall user interface. Nav accuracy and options better on our $100 Garmin. All-wheel drive system good on highways, such as slippery roads. However, ours got stuck in 5 inches of snow and did not transfer power from the wheels that slip to the wheels that grip. Could not get passenger side wheels which had traction to engage. We knew that this would not replace our 4-wheel drive vehicle, but expected better.

Very nice car - 2010 Subaru Outback
By Bill - December 15 - 10:53 amHas all the positive attributes of an SUV - AWD, roomy, ground clearance, smooth quiet ride - without the MPG penalty or awkward size. I am getting over 25 MPG in mostly in-town driving, so I expect around 30 on a road trip, which is way better than the EPA estimates and most of the competition. This is my second Subie - I put 142K on my first with few issues, so I anticipate great reliability.

Im lovin it - 2010 Subaru Outback
By DJ-ATX - December 9 - 12:33 amIve had it two weeks now and have put about 300 miles on it already. Im absolutely thrilled with it. I had a BMW X5 prior to this and to be blunt, I like the outback better! It is peppy, drives like a sports car, gas mileage is fantastic (comparatively speaking) and its so quiet inside. This is my first Subaru and I wish I had thought to buy one years ago. Im totally in love. And since its so new, I get tons of looks, stares and compliments! We cant wait to take it to the beach or on a trail! My recommendation - RUN, dont walk, RUN out and get one as quickly as you can.

Good but not Car and Driver car - 2010 Subaru Outback
By bob_bj - December 5 - 12:26 amI have had Subarus and this is not the top car of its time. I bought the car more as of being loyal to Subaru than the performance. It is a roomy car and will get you from point A to point B but not with performance of previous Subaru like my Subaru Outback 2005 Auto. The CVT transmission is good for fuel saving but not performance. When you rev your engine the acceleration is more of a small little moped than a big car with a lot of power. The engine is underpowered for this big of a car. The appearance of the new OB is relatively nice. I like the interior better than exterior. Interior is nicely done and does not feel so cheap. Exterior looks more like GM or Ford car now. Need a bit spice.

Larger interior is great - 2010 Subaru Outback
By Third Outback Owner - December 2 - 5:00 pmThe larger size finally resolved the "too small" feel of all the previous Outback generations. It feels more durable. The interior and exterior designs are both very satisfying. The CVT noise distracts from the driving experience. Radio/stereo isnt too swift. Paddle shifters work well for downshifting going down hills, but revs the engine too high on highway merging and hill climbing. The Hill holder is a nice feature. Rear seats fold easily, far better than former Outbacks. Steering feels firm and secure, but is not weighted well, taking a while to get used to. Handling is secure for this size of car.

Great first impression - 2010 Subaru Outback
By angelino - November 18 - 6:40 pmFirst time Subaru buyer. Attracted to Outback by its upscale and well executed look, and 4WD reputation. Stable and comfortable road manners. Well controlled noise levels at speed. Looking forward to driving this puppy up mountains and through snow this winter. Harmon/Kardon stereo puts out great sound from CD, but strangely weak and tinny FM sound. Car still in break-in period. Expecting performance to improve.

Wait for the 2011 - 2010 Subaru Outback
By CarProGA - November 8 - 12:16 amThis car has terrible squeaks and rattles. It drives well but feels underpowered in the mountains of Georgia. I would wait and see if they work out some issues for 2011. Fit and finish and power anemic as well as strange feeling seats after about an hour in the car.
