  Great Car - 2010 Subaru Outback
  By Steve - March 9 - 7:03 pm

  Bought our Outback the same week our local dealership got them in. We love it! Our only complaint if you want to call it a complaint is the engine - it has enough power, but no extra. Its using all it has when merging onto the interstate, but its golden when cruising. Set it on 70 MPH, and the CVT gears down the engine to about 2000RPM and the "instant" MPG gague is showing 35+ MPG which is great for a vehicle this size. Everything else with this car is great - the exterior styling stands out, and the interior is comfortable and the styling is great - plenty of room for our family of three.

  Exceeds expectations - 2010 Subaru Outback
  By skibum - January 25 - 4:06 pm

  First off, I was dubious of the new transmission at first, but I cant believe the mileage Im getting with the CVT, its been between 29 and 32mpg so far. Ive found it to be very controllable as well, and the simulated gears look like they will work well in the Sierras this winter. The upgraded stereo sounds terrific, tons of room and ridiculously spacious in the reclining back seat, and many improvements over my previous Subaru, a Forester. No squeaks or rattles here.

  Love It - Even though one problem - 2010 Subaru Outback
  By steve & sue - January 22 - 7:06 am

  We love our new Outback-- best feature, averaging 28 mpg around town. Super comfortable and great looking. Warning, we had a strange "whomping" sound the first week when we hit 40 mph and would stop at 45 mpg, sounded almost like pressure in cabin as if one window was open slightly. When returned to dealer they were excellent and an engineer from Indiana flew down, knew just what it was, rear differential, and said a batch were defective with cement bits in them? At any rate, perfect now, but just to let others know if they hear a slight, strange sound to get it checked.

  Great Choice - 2010 Subaru Outback
  By Steve - January 14 - 6:10 am

  Third Subaru, but first Outback and so far its proving to be a very good car with plenty of space, comfortable highway cruiser and reasonably economic at ~24mpg combined. As with all the Subarus Ive had its well built with a great drivetrain, but the handling isnt up to what I expected, body roll is reasonable for having a high C of G but its the steering set-up that really lets it down. Turning into a gradual corner 40-50 mph and the steering feedback is not progressive and is somewhat jittery. Tire pressure is correct so assume steering rack and suspension set-up. Overall though weve made the right choice and you really do get a lot of car for the money.

  New to Subaru - Great so far! - 2010 Subaru Outback
  By Carl N.C. - December 12 - 7:13 pm

  I replaced a 1999 F150 with a V8 with a 2010 Subaru Outback 2.5i Premium. The fuel mileage is as advertised. 29.5 on a trip to Atlanta. Bought the car in Oct 09. Have about 5K miles on it. The 4 cylinder for the weight of the car performs better than my V8 truck did. There isnt much road noise. I do have engine noise at passing speeds. The car is quiet the rest of the time. The CVT works quite well. The steering took a little getting used to. I do not have any problems pulling out in front of i40 65 mph traffic here in NC. For those concerned, buy the 6. No regrets here

  The "go anywhere, do everything vehicle" - 2010 Subaru Outback
  By The Subaru Nut - November 16 - 8:10 pm

  Our 2010 Outback is our 4th Subaru over 20 years. This model is much larger, roomier, quieter and nicer than previous versions! We have the 4 cyl with CVT, currently with 3400 miles. Mileage is 26-28 in town, over 30 hwy! Power is quite adequate and handling great. Ride is fantastic (beats any other venders Ive experienced). Many nice creature comforts, including audio, puddle lights, bluetooth, heated seats and easy to locate/use controls on steering wheel. Overall this is the best Subaru Outback ever produced and I highly recommend it to anyone. A great vehicle for all driving and road conditions!

  Once a Subie Owner always a Subie Owner - 2010 Subaru Outback
  By SusieQJones - August 26 - 11:03 am

  Just recently handed over my 97 Legacy GT Wagon over to the kid. Except for a scratch or two that baby was pristine. So going to an Outback, especially the new body was a big change at first. The car felt "huge" to me. But now after driving it for the last two months Im really loving feel of luxury in and out. Though I dont feel it handles quite as good as my Legacy (being its lower center of gravity), but I havent really taken it on a Mountain trip yet. Im really enjoying the comfortable ride and how you dont feel the gear change and really digging those heated seats! And being a bit higher in the car is a nice advantage in the world of all SUVs these days.

  Great Car. Worth the price. - 2010 Subaru Outback
  By dplantier - August 20 - 8:26 pm

  We bought in late fall. Handles great, rides good. Can be tricky getting into reverse & other gears. Layout of controls is very well planned out & easy to adjust for all drivers. We live in the North East and this is the 2nd one we own. It handles the dirt roads in Massachusetts as well as it handles the highway.

  Love it - but recalls adding up - 2010 Subaru Outback
  By redsoxfan - August 18 - 9:50 pm

  I bought my first Subaru after a long search. Chose it over a CR-V, primarily for handling - the Subaru is very solid. I love the AWD - it saved my life this winter during a very difficult snowstorm. In my previous car (a Toyota Camry) I would have been off the road. I love the spaciousness of the interior - a big factor in my purchase decision. The rear seats fold down in a second, and leave lots of flat room, unlike the CR-V. The gas mileage has been fantastic - at worst 28, at best 32 mpg. The recalls are a big issue - my dealership is an hour away - that adds up to many added miles on my new, not-exactly inexpensive car! Wait for the 2011 - let them fix the recall issues.

  Like my new 2010 3.5 Outback - 2010 Subaru Outback
  By PM - May 24 - 10:23 am

  Got about 600 miles and really like it. Had a 2004 LL Brean and this is a lot more car. Larger, more comfortable to drive, but more difficult to parallel park. A lot nicer on the road and feels like a Lexus ride. Mileage is better too. Will take it to snow country this next weekend. Tires bounce a little (not terrible) and feel like they are over inflated or made of a cheap single ply rubber.
