Why it stands out
The 2018 Subaru Outback remains a standout in the crowded midsize SUV market due to its unique blend of car-like handling and SUV versatility. With a robust safety reputation, underscored by a Top Safety Pick+ rating from the IIHS and five-star crash ratings from the government, the Outback is an excellent option for safety-conscious buyers. Its ample cargo space, which offers 35.5 cubic feet behind the rear seats and 73.3 cubic feet with them folded down, appeals to families and adventurers alike. Powered by a choice of a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine or a more potent 3.6-liter six-cylinder, the Outback’s performance can suit various driving preferences, although some may find the four-cylinder slightly underpowered. Noteworthy updates for 2018 include a quieter cabin, improved interior materials, and enhanced safety features through the EyeSight suite, providing adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist. The comfortable and spacious interior combined with its capability for off-road adventures makes the Outback a practical choice for those seeking a reliable, all-season vehicle.

Call me biased, but I don’t see why everyone doesn’t go for this car. Meets all my needs and it’s reliable, relatively affordable, and sleek looking, what more could I want

I bought the Premium model as a replacement for my 2012 Outback. My 2018 has navigation and moon roof. Car is awesome. Drives and shifts more smoothly than the older one. Not that much acceleration getting on the freeway but adequate. I like all the safety features (blind spot detection, back up camera, lane detection, etc.). Ill be keeping this car until self-driving cars are the standard.

Just bought a 2018 Outback Touring. It is quiet, smooth ride, the V6 has the power that V4 versions lack, which means I would never buy the smaller engine. Love the larger screen on the navigation system. The safety features actually saved us money on our auto insurance and we are paying less for the 2018 Outback than the 2012 Accord V6 we own. The visibility is another great aspect of the Outback. Getting into and out of the Outback is much easier with its higher clearance. While I have only had it a short time, I have really enjoyed driving it and look forward to learning about all the new features available.
