What owners say
"Overall, drivers are quite pleased with the 2013 Subaru Outback, noting its reliability, comfort, and all-wheel drive capabilities. Many appreciate its safety features and spacious interior, making it suitable for outdoor activities and family use. However, some concerns were raised about ride noise and the complexity of the technology interface."
Acceleration is missing kind of rough ride but for the year and price can't complain. Great car love it good value yes
May 11, 2025I upgraded my Outback with EyeSight for safety and love it! I'm convinced it's saved me from a few fender benders already. I like the roominess. But I buy Subarus (this is my fourth) for their overall quality, reliability, safety, power/performance and 4wd capability. Compared with the rest of the lineup the 3.6L Outback Limited is loaded with luxury features like the moon roof, leather/power/heated seats, bluetooth connectivity, navigation, rear backup camera, etc. For a mere $1200 extra you can get the EyeSight system too! I love this car and am pretty sure it will keep me happy for the next 10 years of ownership before I'm likely to upgrade again.
August 11, 2013This car, like every other Subaru I've owned is fun to drive. H6 Boxer engine has some pickup, allowing you to pass others easily on the highway and makes going up Mountain passes a breeze. The handling is spot on, turns on a dime and the tires really grip the ground. Lots of cargo room, the cabin doesn't feel cramped like in prior generations. Special Appearance Package also includes push button start, side view mirror blinkers, and drivers seat memory, all huge bonuses to a already solid car. The interior styling in the front cabin is kinda an eye sore, especially the horrible looking buttons in the Navigation System. The Nav is hard to use. It shouldn't take a 200 page book to show me how to use it. Fuel economy also suffers in the H6, but so far is spot on from the EPA rating.

June 2, 2013Great all around car. 2.4 liter wont win races but it serves the purpose lol
June 30, 2023It has everything that in looking for awd, comfort seat, plenty of storage, I can tow with, great gas mileage and entertainment system. I have compared it with Mazda CX-5
February 26, 2021I like station wagons. This car can go most places and the all-wheel drive makes it safe and handy for driving in fields and off road. I like to drive through our family farm fields with my father to look over the cattle. To me it beats riding in a truck. It is very dependable and sits up nice and high. Power is more than adequate but I wish it had more. But his is just me. Overall fuel use (over 30 K miles) is 26 MPG+. It is great for hauling things. Good driver seat adjustments. Hidden storage in the trunk floor is nice. I find the dash controls easy to use and the interface with my phone works without a hitch. The electronic parking brake holds the car very securely on hills.
July 22, 2013Reliable and affordable wagon thats well appointed and good for outdoor activities.
May 24, 2024Love just about everything. The only thing that I think could be changed is the center computer. It's next to the speedometer and it gives no important information and doesn't need to be there. It also doesn't have electronic MPH indicator which can get annoying. However that's the only thing I dislike.
September 15, 2013less than 1000 mi on car so need more tie to evaluate. Is our third Subaru so expect to enjoy it as much as the first two. Leaving tomorrow for road trip of 1000 mi tol sort it out!. I get to drive it finally.
July 9, 2013Hard to belive a Subaru could carry a $35,000 window sticker, but they have come a long way. Fit and finish are flawless, interior comfort is top of the line. Nav system is outstanding and very easy to use. Harmon Kardon audio and bluetooth are perfect.
