  Good All-Around SUV - 2010 Subaru Outback
  By Matt - January 31 - 2:26 pm

  Extremely satisfied so far - wanted an AWD vehicle with manual transmission that was good on gas and could haul my bike and kayak. Also have two small children, so ride quality was also important. Outback has met or exceeded all of these requirements. Comfortable on long trips - averaged 33 mpg highway; getting 24.3 mpg in mixed driving. People have commented on how they like the dark gray color, and that it looks like a more expensive vehicle.

  I like it - 2010 Subaru Outback
  By tom - January 26 - 5:23 pm

  My last new car was a 1989 Range Rover. After twenty years I traded it, cash for clunkers, for the Outback. I travel on dirt roads to get to my home. The road clearance is a very important feature. Off road ride is excellent. On pavement it drives like a sporty sedan.

  just gets better - 2010 Subaru Outback
  By alzada - January 14 - 6:35 am

  Odometer just turned 20,000. Have had none of the problems some other owners reported. Wish Subaru had some of the things found on practically everybody elses cars at this trim level [doors that lock when you put it in gear, turn signals on mirrors would be nice] but without a doubt, I feel more secure driving this than ANY other car (or truck) Ive ever driven since I started driving in 1963. [and considering I am a "car-aholic", thats over 50 vehicles!]

  Sports sedan of an SUV - 2010 Subaru Outback
  By sheepdog - December 24 - 2:00 am

  I wanted a family car/suv that drove like a sports car. This is the car chose. Fits the bill pretty well. I did research at Subaru outback.org and found a lot of them add a Subaru 19 mm rear sway bar kit ($72 online) that makes the car corner much flatter but still ride well. This 10 minute easy install job provided my family sports car. Best $72 upgrade ever. Dealership had no problem with the switch for warranty. Drives with a German feel now. Watch your speed, the car likes to be driven over 60 mph everywhere!

  Love, love, love it! - 2010 Subaru Outback
  By InLove - December 21 - 3:30 pm

  I love this car. It is so practical, yet stylish. I get so many compliments on it. Its a very capable SUV with good gas mileage, many creature comforts, and an impressive list of well-thought-out features. I have had some hiccups on my particular vehicle, such as trouble with cold starts and a noise in the steering column. However, Subaru has done a fantastic job addressing these issues and wont rest until they are completely resolved. You cannot go wrong with this vehicle!

  A solid build car - 2010 Subaru Outback
  By CCW - December 4 - 10:13 pm

  I have this car for a month. I am enjoying driving it. My impression on it are: ride is firm, mileage is barely over 20 mpg, which is below official claimed mileage, engine noise is loud.

  My Review - 2010 Subaru Outback
  By Gene H - November 28 - 6:46 am

  Ive owned 2 Subarus in the past and both were very reliable. I heard that the 2010s were going to be larger and I had to test drive one. It didnt take long to decide that the new 2010 Subaru Premium AWD (2.5i, 4cyl, CVT) was for me. I have over 800 miles on it and getting 24 MPG. It is a very smooth ride and comfortable front and back seats. Im sure Ill buy another new one in three to four years.

  So far so very good - 2010 Subaru Outback
  By Frank - November 24 - 11:00 pm

  Acceleration is better than expected. Very good suspensions make potholes bearable. Trunk size very nice. Easy to get in and out due to increased height. so far really liking the car.

  Great value, smart looks. - 2010 Subaru Outback
  By Over the Hill - November 15 - 8:23 pm

  I researched for months and test drove 6 cars before finally settling on the Outback. My previous car was a Honda mini-van, which I drove for 11 years. I was looking for good utility along with sedan comfort; I think this car delivers both. I almost purchased an 09 Outback in May, but the headrests were impossible to live with. The 2010 redesign has eliminated this issue, at least for me. This car delivers great value and I predict that it will be a huge hit for Subaru.

  2010 SUV of the Year? Not really... - 2010 Subaru Outback
  By Chebosto - November 12 - 2:00 am

  I needed a larger car due to family expansion and was drawn to the Outback due to the MotorTrend SUV of year award. Since owing the car since June, I believe that award to be false advertising. Our 2.5 Ltd does have good mpg & excellent interior design and ergonomics however there are too many minor issues to be truly satisfied with the car. The 2.5 H4 with the CVT transmission is weak and clunks when getting out of D or P; steering wheel vibrations @ 70-80 mph is hand numbing during long trips; Non-folding side mirrors annoying when parking; rear end sways in side winds; AC does not stay cold when idling; roof cross bars inadequate for most rack systems; the stereo sounds terrible. Sigh.
