2009 Subaru Outback Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 2009 Subaru Outback generally have a positive view of their vehicles. They appreciate its reliability, spacious interior, and good handling, especially in various weather conditions, thanks to its all-wheel drive. However, some drivers mentioned concerns about certain interior design choices and acceleration when climbing mountains. Overall, the vehicle is seen as stylish and functional, making it a favored choice among those looking for a dependable wagon."
Purchased a 2009 Subaru Outback 2.5XT in Diamond Grey w/Quartz Silver with slightly off Black Interior. In general this is the perfect vehicle to buy, especially in this trim if you want a sporty SUV alternative. It sits up like a small SUV, handles like sports sedan, accelerates like a small turbo coupe, and brakes like a champion. I'm still in the break in period but I have a feeling once this time passes this car will truly shine. Car rides very smooth and balanced, and when bumps are transferred to the cabin they are controlled. Interior is pretty quiet with windows up and wind is buffeting noticeable with windows down. Engine is powerful in all ranges especially with boost up. Favorite Features For me first is the engine. But I also love the huge sunroof, navigation which isn't bad, leather seats, stereo, fit and finish, sporty dials and red lighting, SI-Drive, and much more. SI Drive really changes personalities more than I thought it would. I also love that the 2.5XT w/NAV is rare. Suggested Improvements I would suggest more passenger space. A little more would be nice. The Navigation could have a higher Resolution Screen and be Hard Drive based, Memory Seats, Homelink and Bluetooth as Standard Features, Autolocking Doors after 15mph, Full Size Spare, and Shift Paddles of the Legacy 3.0R, since the XT is a sport model and above the Outback 3.0R.
September 28, 2009The 2009 Suburu Outback is a solid, reliable and stylish vehicle. I just purchased one for my wife and she is loving it. The mechanical and internal features are impressive to say the least! I look forward to having a great ownership experience with my 2009 Suburu Outback!
December 14, 2023Limited has a few more bells and whistles. Good overall car. Love having the moonroof. Very spacious for a wagon.

June 19, 2024All around excellent vehicle. Quiet, handles great, excellent workmanship. Very good gas mileage for an AWD. Averaging 26.7 mpg. Very fun to drive. You won't be disappointed!
January 15, 2010Acceleration is decent. Braking and handling is very good. The appearance is nice, I dislike the two tone inside, black seats and dash tan top. This car is nice to drive. Good gas mileage if you drive it not like its a race car.
