01/22/18	Our Experience...An Unsatisfactory Car 2016 Subaru Outback Pros and Cons Member365 Comparison vehicle: 2016 Subaru Outback
02/26/16	2015 Subaru Outback Pros and Cons Member6286 I really like the eyesight system. It's nice to have another set of eyes on the road at all times. It works really well.
03/02/15 16 comments	2015 Subaru Outback Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh The Outback's top strength isn't listed here: if you are among the remaining, apparently few people who want a midsize station wagon that costs less than $30,000, you have no other option. This aside, the Subaru Outback has so many strengths that I struggled to narrow them down to five,... Comparison vehicle: 2015 Jeep Cherokee
07/04/13	Outstanding safety, durability and low maintenance 2003 Subaru Outback Pros and Cons Member5196 The 2003 Subaru Outback (& Forester) were very highly rated for safety, including passenger compartment integrity.
06/16/13	A good choice. 2012 Subaru Outback Pros and Cons Member5797 The AWD system is awesome! With Blizzack tires i purchased used off craigslist and its ground clearance it is very sure footed in Alaskan winters.

04/02/13	Great car with limited competition 2012 Subaru Outback Pros and Cons Member5316 Feels save, no experience, the brakes could be a bit more efficient, safety can always be improved and these brakes do absolutely not compare to a BMW or MB wagon
01/10/13	2010 Subaru Outback Pros and Cons A member in Maryland, United States I love having all the airbags and traction control.
01/05/13	Love it after 4K miles... 2013 Subaru Outback Pros and Cons Member5623 Overall braking feel is not great. Stopping distances seem a bit long for the wagon on panic stops, though I'm also still braking in the pads with less than 4K miles on the car.

01/20/11	2011 Subaru Outback Pros and Cons Member3843 Proven safety record, reflected in insurance premiums, crash survivability and avoidance reports and safety ratings. Safety features are standard also.
12/03/10	2011 Subaru Outback Pros and Cons A member in California, United States Impressive safety ratings and surefooted handling, lets hope I never have to test out the safety features!

12/03/10	2010 Subaru Outback Pros and Cons dpb Very responsive braking and has all the airbags, front and side.
12/03/10	2002 Subaru Outback Pros and Cons Member4847 brakes are weakly boosted and also provide longer stops than preferred.
10/31/10	2005 Subaru Outback Pros and Cons Member4836 Excellent feel to brakes and quick stop
08/25/10	2003 Subaru Outback Pros and Cons A member in Rhode Island, United States AWD is excellent, good braking also and excellent crash tests

03/25/10	2010 Subaru Outback Pros and Cons Member4275 Braking is fast and very responsive. There is not pulsing in the brake pedal at all and no pull in the wheel when braking. Safety is excellent. I am conforted to have so many safety features and airbags packed into the vehicle.
02/23/10	2010 Subaru Outback Pros and Cons Member4170 Safety features galore, all standard. Breaking in any condition is excellent.
02/13/10	2007 Subaru Outback Pros and Cons Member4135 stops on a dime
01/16/10	2006 Subaru Outback Pros and Cons Member4035 The Outback feels solid and confident in every situation. The EBD helps to reinforce the overall handling as it responds immediately.
07/30/09	2009 Subaru Outback Pros and Cons Member3516 Electronic stability control, traction control, ABS, dynamic assist braking should keep you out of trouble but if you are in an accident the car has the full compliment of airbags and crumple zones to protect the occupants.
01/06/09	2006 Subaru Outback Pros and Cons Member2873 All wheel drive is awesome in the winter.
12/31/08	2007 Subaru Outback Pros and Cons Member2864
12/09/08	2006 Subaru Outback Pros and Cons Member2821 Predictability, controlability and pedal feel. I know the car will go where I need it to when I need to stomp on the brakes and be easy to control in inclement weather. All the air bags are nice too for family safety.
09/19/08	2008 Subaru Outback Pros and Cons A member in Ontario, Canada Reported crash worthiness and air bag array was impressive. I will replace the pads for better grip and modulation.
