• 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.

  Happy so far - 2010 Subaru Outback
  By Dan - March 5 - 10:00 pm

  Have had it for a month and already drove it on sleet and ice for a couple of days. AWD was great on the ice. Very smooth and quiet on the hwy - doesnt break a sweat at 75. Handles well. Sufficient power. Not the best looking exterior Ive ever seen, but all around great car for the $. Very few crossovers with AWD/4WD get this kind of fuel economy.

  Good Value - 2010 Subaru Outback
  By hokie_dad - February 18 - 5:56 am

  Our Outback is now 2 years old and has been a great vehicle. Its big enough for trips around town, yet fits in the garage. It has more than enough leg room in the rear seat and still have plenty of cargo room. The CVT transmission takes a little getting used to, but overall has been great. Itll take a second to build revs when you hit the gas, but a normal transmission would take a second to downshift too, so its about the same. Child seat is easy to install and remove. Our Outback has been averaging 28 mpg with mostly intown driving. On a recent trip, the highway MPG was averaging 34. Ive seen a lot of complaints about steering issues. I havent experienced any, ours does fine.

  Uber oo - 2010 Subaru Outback
  By Ann Onymous - February 2 - 12:06 pm

  I didnt think any car would seem better to me than my 2006 Forester 2.5XT (which Im keeping). We drove the 2010 Outback thinking maybe next year for my husband - and decided we had to have it now. I am so jealous. My only complaints - I like oil and temp gauges - not idiot lights; and no ashtray available is just silly. Love the CVT - this will give us great mileage and it has as much giddy-up as our Turbo - handy for merging on our interstates. Wonderfully smooth, quiet. Paddles for downshifting will be great in the mountains. The re-design is complete - looks nothing like 2009 Outback - way bigger inside. Wish I could afford two.

  Great All Around - 2010 Subaru Outback
  By james - November 27 - 9:46 am

  I was attracted to the Outback Limited 2.5 with the CVT because the design and engineering are very well integrated. The horizontally opposed 4 cylinder engine mated with the continuously variable transmission work harmoniously to give the symmetrical all wheel drive a stable grip on most surfaces. Paddle shifters are great. I got the Outback to travel between upstate NYs snows and New York City. I like to get out on some less than smooth back roads and a lot of NY city roads are as rough as back roads; the Outback takes it all and delivers a fine ride. I got the car loaded with everything except the moon roof and the GPS. The interior is luxurious without being over the top.

  Smooth - 2010 Subaru Outback
  By Arrow - November 26 - 8:30 am

  Researched for months searching for the best value family vehicle. Compared the typical contenders. Subaru dealer asked me to try the Outback? Why not? SOLD! $2,000 more than a Forester gets $10,000 more car. Continuously Variable Transmission is smooth, Interior is higher end, and solid driving feel drives like a luxury automobile! LOVE IT!

  Great car! - 2010 Subaru Outback
  By Ryan - November 14 - 5:23 am

  So, I have had this Subie for a while now. I think its a great car! The 4 inch raise is welcome(you still dont have to worry about rolling like you do with SUVs). Now this car is no speed demon (dont mistake this for a WRX!), but it has plenty of get up and go. I went up a 16% incline with very sharp turns and had fun doing it going 40 (In manual mode of coarse :) ). This thing is going to stay on the road. One thing that surprised me, was the very nice sized gas tank(18.5 gallons). I fill up 1/2 as much now! If you live in a hilly area, be careful, I live in Oregon, So its very hilly and the hills can eat gas up quick! I guess that will be for ANY car though!

  Good Value - 2010 Subaru Outback
  By Bob - November 14 - 3:13 am

  I have driven the car 2000 miles. I find that the engine is disturbingly noisy above 2500 rpm. The rear hatch does not have a latch that you can undo before you lift it. Takes quite a hefty pull to open it. If by chance the hatch is locked when you pull, your fingertips are going to feel the pain. At highway speeds the car has a tendency to oversteer. The analog speedometer measures from 0-150 mph and it does not belong in the Outback. 0- 110 mph would be more suitable

  good first time Subaru experience - 2010 Subaru Outback
  By SFBayDriver - November 3 - 5:26 am

  We were shopping for a Venza, Camry and ended up buying an 2010 Outback. This dealer was selling both brands and we test drove and liked the Outback. It feels heavier, stronger and more solid. We got it for 26k about 1k less than newspaper ad. This is our first Subaru, actually my first time driving a Subaru. I got to say it is pretty impressive and worth considering if you are shopping for a wagon.

  Solid, Fun to Drive - 2010 Subaru Outback
  By Ringer - October 16 - 3:10 am

  I picked up the new Outback during an intense Northern Ohio blizzard!! It was love at first drive. Handles great with the AWD; Solid feel; Very roomy back seat for kids, plus plenty of cargo space. I get lots of positive comments on the Outback from friends, as well as strangers! CVT took some getting-used-to, but like the salesman said, "it just goes!" Not a rocket by any means, but it seems to help on fuel. Mileage has been pretty good at around 26 mpg in the city.

  One Great Decision - 2010 Subaru Outback
  By Tim - September 1 - 10:50 pm

  We had a 2002 Xterra that had reached the end of its life. We were tired of terrible fuel economy and a growing family demanded a more reliable and safer vehicle. Subaru has always been on our "radar" but after driving my parents 2010 Outback we were sold. This vehicle is amazing! There really isnt anything wrong with it. It has better ground clearance than most so called SUVs, better fuel economy, reliability and amazing safety ratings. I used to be a die hard solid rear axle SUV fan but those days are done. Its great driving home with a vehicle in 8 inches of snow, heated seats on of course, passing "SUVs" who have spun out! A great purchase, especially at 2.9% APR!
