2012 Subaru Outback Reviews, Pricing & Specs

Great car at a great price! You really just can’t go wrong with a Subaru.

You simply cant beat the quality and value of these AWD's! Safe, reliable, and comfortable...and absolute snow killers! This Outback goes anywhere...almost as good as my Suburban and twice the mileage/gallon! After extensive shopping this is hands down best value AWD ! Only real criticism is the stock tires are fine for summer, but are horrible in the snow...a car of this capability and reputaion in the snow should come with a far better winter capable AT. We run snows up here, but that surprise storm that caught us on stocks was baaad! I would recommend the Outback to anyone...just insist on snows or an all season upgrade!

I absolutely love everything about this car. We got a great deal when we bought it. Im really just a great fan of subarus. Just all around a fantastic car.

I have liked the reliability and overall build quality of the car. The handling and all-weather sure-footedness are very appreciated in the fall and winters in the PNW. We feel very safe going on family outings. The car is well-equipped in a lower-level trim but the Limited leaves me wanting for nothing more.

Better gas mileage, Subaru AWD system, Boxer engine. The 2.5i accelerates well - we don't feel like we need the larger 3.6i engine. Braking and handling are also good. Car seems to be safe - has many safety features other vehicles do not. Will add more comments after more experience with the vehicle.

A small AWD wagon that seems to do well in all areas. A good choice for me.

Bought as an in-betweener car - I needed a car to commute in alone and occasionally serve as family (5 of us) hauler. I wanted style, reliability and amenities. Plus wanted all-weather capability and preferred to stay under $20k (impossible) but did find this w/ only 18 mos and 12k of use for under $30k. Loving the sunroof, heated leather, and Bluetooth. Running highway mostly gets me 21-24mpg. City driving 16-19mpg. Happy with purchase so far.

One of the best if not the best AWD systems around with great handling and comfortable ride. It does however have too many blind spots, and the gas mileage could be better. All in all a very safe wagon. Well designed the most part.

Had the same problem with the dashboard warning lights lit up like a Christmas tree, As one observer suggested, disconnected negative terminal battery, waited 10 minutes, reconnected battery, lights gone and problem apparently solved. I like simple. Always better.

Car has good value and features! Also great fuel efficiency! I bought mine with at 150,000 miles and i’m not worried about it at all, these cars have amazing life spans!
