Overview & Reviews
The 2010 Subaru Outback has been fully redesigned. Changes include more interior room, more dramatic styling and new features.
- 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.

It grows on you.... - 2010 Subaru Outback
By Chris Amberg - May 4 - 8:30 pmTraded a 2002 Honda CR-V manual for the 3.6R Outback auto. I live on an acreage and drive gravel every day, plus after this winter realized I needed the ground clearance. With snow tires (must have) it will be a tank. Most CUVs have gotten lower to the ground; Subie is tops here. Love the smooth, quiet power of the flat six; wish the engine came with a manual but paddle shifters will help wean me from my manual preference. I still have a Miata stick so ok compromise.

Great car - not your moms old Subie - 2010 Subaru Outback
By POL - April 23 - 9:03 amJust picked up my 2010 outback. Drove it once, had to have it. It was the last car on my list and Im glad I waited. Far and away better than competition, CVT is impressive, and makes the old Outback...Outdated. Its the new Tribeca!!! First 100 miles averaged 23 mpg. Looking forward to snow. Gotta get it or get gotten by the competition. Drove Toyota, Honda,VW, Suzuki, and Ford. Other dealers should be worried, the Outback is going to leave a lot of cars on your lots.

Very satisfied in Ohio - 2010 Subaru Outback
By lvjohn - April 17 - 4:36 amWeve had our Outback almost 2 weeks now and we are delighted with it. It is so much better than I remembered our test drive car ever being. I have owned 7 new cars in my 45 years of driving and this is clearly the best of them all including our 2000 Outback. We love the versatility the Outback provides. It can haul a fair amount of stuff and it can transport 5 in comfort and quiet. It gets reasonably good gas mileage; we got 24.8 mpg in mixed city and freeway driving on the first tank. The build quality is the best Ive seen in any new car.

First Sub - Very Happy. - 2010 Subaru Outback
By Mainer Rich - April 14 - 9:40 amThis is my first Sub (always had Hondas) and I have been very happy. I was nervous to purchase the car given the history of Subarus head gasket issues. With much research, it became clear that the issue has been addressed for new Subs. Plus, my dealership covers engine/tranny issues for the life of the car. Gas mileage greatly improved after 4000 miles, and with a little warmer weather. 26 mpg around town - 30+ on highway. Great car! I plan to hand it down to my 7 year old when he turns 16. If you are on the fence about purchasing, just do it. You will be happy you did.

Best Vehicle Ive Ever Owned - 2010 Subaru Outback
By GNC - March 29 - 6:43 pmTook almost 12 weeks from order date until delivery, but was really worth the wait. This is by far the best vehicle Ive ever owned, I love driving it. Drives like a much more expensive vehicle. Very responsive acceleration and braking. 3.6 engine has great power and still gets very good gas mileage, avg 21 mpg in city. Extremely comfortable seats. Excellent sound system. Performance in snow is outstanding. Holds the road like a magnet even in deep snow. Hands free phone system is disappointing, not easy to program or use. Heated seats work great but would prefer they turn off automatically when engine is turned off.

Great car for long trips - 2010 Subaru Outback
By Anne - February 14 - 8:40 amGot it in Nov, 09. Now reported after long trip to New Orleans (360 miles each way). Very good long trip car. Easy to drive, stable handling in bad weather, roomy and seats are very comfortable. 30 mpg on freeway. Best is when hotel valet praised it over Lexus RX350 (Ha Ha, I traded my RX for the Suby)! So, if you are considering an Outback, dont wait!

3000 miles and still liking it - 2010 Subaru Outback
By Sf Guy - January 18 - 5:50 pmWife and I returned to Subaru after we decided to replace our 01 Legacy GT Sedan. The OB 2.5i with CVT does a very nice job regarding comfort ability and mileage. Regarding handling? If I compare it to our old land cruiser its fantastic! If I compare the handling to our old Legacy GT its terrible. The OB is a very good handling SUV and a very marginal handling car as to be expected with the SUV ride height and ability. Rear seat is king when it comes to big kids car seats and comfort etc. The CVT took some getting use to but it does a fantastic job keeping to the power band. Subaru needs to build a turbo and non turbo Legacy GT wagon! Not everyone will find the SUV/Car performance likable.

Great family adventure mobile - 2010 Subaru Outback
By Gabe - January 17 - 6:23 pmWe were on the waiting list. This is a great car. We needed to balance fuel economy, AWD, rear leg room, affordability, reliability, and storage space. The Subaru 2010 outback fit the bill.

Great Value so far - 2010 Subaru Outback
By Clayton - November 20 - 8:13 pmHave owned this car about 1 month. Have taken a 2600 trip with no problems. Great car, averaged 31.8 mpg @ 70 miles per hour. For the price of this car, assuming it holds up the way other Subarus do, is a great value. Well built and very tight.
