    This car is so loaded with features it will take awhile to learn them all. Fairly intuitive though.

  • Great Car! (except for the steering recall) - 2016 Subaru Outback
    By -

    Had my Outback just two weeks when the vehicle was recalled for steering problems. My dealer (Troncalli Subaru, Cumming GA)) was very proactive in resolving this - called us the morning of the recall and gave us a nice rental car to keep until the car has been fixed. Bad problem, very nicely handled.

  • Further improvement of noise-isolation. - 2016 Subaru Outback
    By -

    They must check noise isolation and automatic door lock. When i drove on the road , the more foreign noise is heard inside the car. We all expect 2017 new noise isolation improved one and manuel locking looks like 15th century ago , its better to replace with AUTOMATIC LOCK . All the best . thanks.

  • Should have stayed basic - 2016 Subaru Outback
    By -

    I decided for my third Subaru I would get it with all the bells and whistles. I was one of the lucky ones who got one with a bad steering column and its been down hill since. I am on the second radio and the navigation still has problems. The rear hatch has been looked at three times and it still decides on its own when it will open or close. The answer my dealer has given is when the power hatch wont respond just hold the button down and it should become a manual hatch. How convenient. I want to know if I hold the ignition button down will the price of 3.6R I bought become the same price as the 2.5 and where do i get my refund? If you want to feel the "Love" save your money and get a base model.

  • My wife loves it - 2016 Subaru Outback
    By -

    This is our second Outback. My wife hated the passenger seat in the 2006 and wasnt too fond of the hard seat on the driver side either. Fortunately, the 2016 has enough driver side adjustments that she can find a very comfortable driving position. The passenger side was still an issue so we didnt buy until I found a cushion in one of the upper level catalogs that relieved that problem. It has a support matrix and memory foam and it boost her up a bit since which is ok since she is 54". If the passenger seat had the same adjustments as the drivers seat, we could have bought the car sooner. She loves the radio and the great visibility and the backup camera and warning system. I really like the adaptive cruise control. It is great for both local driving and for the freeway. Average gas mileage approaches an honest 24mpg and we have gotten 26 +mpg on long trips. The navigation system is nothing special, confusing at best. The phone and Garmin type navigation is greatly superior. I wish we didnt have to have the moonroof - mostly useless in a desert climate - in order to get Eyesight. Based on more than a dozen fillups, the indicated fuel economy is 5.5% too high. Not bad but not correct either. I wish the seats were a bit longer but my wife would not have liked that. Fortunately, the seat adjustments make long distance driving comfortable. The back seat is also amazingly comfortable and roomy especially in comparison to the 2006. My wife has stopped driving our other car and is now a great fan of Subaru.

  • Great Great Great - 2016 Subaru Outback

    This is my second Subaru, had a 2015 Legacy which is very similar inside. Originally wanted the Outback but they were all out of stock and needed something quick. The build quality on these cars is outstanding. Quiet comfortable interior with lots of leg room for all you taller folks. The acceleration with the 4 cylinder isnt rocket like, but it gets the job done. If you are going to tow anything substantial, get the 6 cyl. Either way, these cars are build to last.
