2011 Subaru Outback 2.5i Premium Review
ProsIt's a Subaru ConsNothing so far
55
Awd Makes It Great For Me. — So far it's exceeded my expectations. Gas mileage has been exceptional for such a good size SUV (it's as good or a little better than my 2005 Honda Accord 4 cylinder). The CVT has been great so far. The Outback is very quiet and very comfortable for long trips (trip to Ottawa in 12 hours was not a problem). Handling is again better than I expected for an SUV...it's actually great for any vehicle (it's as stable as my Honda Accord was unless I really push it which is still within 90% of what the Accord could do). Primary Use: Family transportation

2011 Subaru Outback 2.5i Limited Review
ProsLove the AWD and the reliability, lots of room to pack the stuff in. I tow a small utility trailer up to the So. Cal mountains from sea level to 7,200 feet with no problems. ConsA little noisy for my taste, but overall I can't complain. I would expect a few more features on the base model for a $25K vehicle.

Great Family Car And Dependable Transportation — Love the AWD. All the fit and finish items are 1st class. This vehicle is built to last and will be in our family a long time. The cargo capaciy and ability to tow light loads is amazing for a 4 cyl engine of this size. The quality after 1 year is outstanding and I continue to grow in admiration of the Subaru brand. | ||

2011 Subaru Outback 2.5i Limited Review
ProsThe Subaru Outback is a great car. Its versatile, practical comfortable and Lots of fun. I understand why its the most popular car in the Northwest. ConsThere is a little blind spot on both sides and a little to the rear. Just need to do a quick head check before changing lanes.

Great Car. I Love It. — This is a very practical car. Perfect for hauling friends, family, pets, groceries, gear and whatever you got without all the cumbersome features of a van or giant SUV. Its comfortable, fun, cute, sporty and gets good mileage. Its easy to drive, park and can turn on a dime. The Outback handles really well. Its acceleration is smooth and steady but definitely responsive. The brakes are fast and efficient with out compromising the cars stability. The (CVT) transmission is easy to use and perfect for ski trips or off the beaten path adventures. The Bluetooth and other gadget features included in the stereo system add another dimension of practicality. Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

Best Value On The Market Currently — The expert reviewer of the 2010 model called the 2.5 engine and CVT engine terrible. Did he even drive the car? I am getting 31 MPG on the highway and the 2.5 engine has plenty of power for 95% of driving situations. The CVT does not operate like a traditional transmission. It feels like the acceleration is slower than it really is. The speedometer doesn't lie though. The 2.5 engine has been around for years. It isn't uncharted territory for Subaru. The engine is smoother and more refined than any other 4 cylinder I have owned. Sure you can get an Outback with the 3.6 engine if you can live with the additional fuel cost. The new re-design is head and shoulders above the older Outbacks. More rear legroom, better ground clearance, better styling while still retaining some of the quirkiness that Subaru is famous for. The handling and ride quality is great for this class of vehicle. Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

ProsSafety, reliability, resale value. Well designed vehicle. ConsPoor gas mileage, maintenance is expensive.

Overall Great Family Car. — Definitively a good family car for those who don't want the typical family car stigma. Safety is obviously one the primary concerns in a family vehicle and this meets or exceeds it. Looks should be last, but its not bad considering its a family car. Better than driving a mini-van, and that says a lot. Primary Use: Family transportation | ||
