What owners say
"Owners of the 2010 Subaru Outback generally love its spacious interior, reliability, and fuel efficiency, making it a fantastic family vehicle. Many appreciate the AWD capabilities, which excel in varying weather conditions like snow and rain. However, some drivers noted that the engine feels underpowered at times, and there were mixed reviews on the functionality of the roof rack and sound system."
Beautiful car. Very smooth ride. Nice features. Great details.
April 3, 2020Very solid and effecient. An excellent four season performer. Aside from the speed, it does not feel much different than Audis I have driven. It is not nearly as beautiful as an Audi, but it cost far less. It was also built in a Zero Land Fill Factory, is most recyclable, and a PZEV (partial zero emmission vehicle, which I do not understand because zero has no parts?) making it a greener choice than any hybrid.
May 3, 2010This car is fun to drive and handles well for a large station wagon. The Flat 4 engine is mounted low in the engine bay to give it a better center of gravity for handling turns. This car has plenty of power with the continuously variable transmission and has no problem climbing hills. It automatically finds the best gear ratio to match the engine speed and deliver optimal fuel economy.

January 2, 2015This car was everything that I had hoped for and more!! The seats and interior are incredibly comfortable & the 2.5 engine had a lot more responsiveness & power than the 2015 Outback 2.5 engine. Extremely happy
August 21, 2020This car is by far the best car we owned. Great handling in the winter (snow and rain) and ample space in the second row for kids. Super reliable and great re-sale value. If you are looking for a first time family car - search no more.
September 22, 2013If you want a dependable car, great mileage, versatility, fantastic on ice, rain, snow, and with the highest safety rating available, you will have a hard time finding a better deal than an Outback. The Outback also has one of the highest resale values on the market. We started to buy a one-year Outback with 15,000 miles on it, but got a NEW 2010 with ZERO miles for $800 more! That's LESS than 4%! I challenge ANYONE to find a vehicle that retains NINETY-SIX percent of its value after one year.
September 18, 2011I bought a black 2010 Outback Limited-no navigation but just about everything else.So far I am getting about 27-28 mpg in town and about 31-32 on the road.The 172 horsepower engine is more than adequate but it is not a "burner".Great amount of space.excellent 2nd row seats and a very well appointed interior.My wife has a 2009 Lexus and this car rides just as well as the Lexus.
June 14, 2010I bought the 4 cylinder for the gas mileage. Over the 1st 1200 miles of mostly city driving it averaged 27.3 MPG. The CVT transmission is a little odd at first and seems underpowered when you are used to the kick down to a lower gear. With the paddle shifters the accelleration is good.The rack for 2010 is poor for kayaks and won't accept aftermarket bars or accessories. The Subaru kayak carriers are just rebranded Yakima with different clamps. The car is a blast to drive off road. I have had it in the mud and traction was exceptional. Should be excellent in snow. Build quality is good. Very tight. Styling is beautiful in & out. Suggest the upgraded radio. Stock is just adequate.
December 3, 2009Love it! Getting 30-32 mpg, has great pick up for a 4 cylinder, handles great, very smooth ride, can't feel it "shifting" through gear because of CVT, comfy seats, plenty of space inside, easy to clean leather seats, great sound system...
July 15, 2010I love the AWD system this car offers. It may not have a huge engine, but has a lot of potential and room to expand. This car is soo much fun to drive perfect for Michigan weather, rain, snow, or shine.
