| 2009 | 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic AWD | Cost was a bit more than the Jeep, but for a less capable snow vehicle. Honda has a good reputation and resale value, but with the lifetime Jeep warranty the Honda was not a contender |

| 2007 | 4dr Wagon 245-horsepower 3.0L H6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD | Very high resale values and popularity make the car very popular for resales. Unfortunately the vehicle has a higher sticker price. This is easily offset in the long run on reliability. |
| 2005 | 4dr Wagon turbocharged 250hp 2.5L H4 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD | Damn, it was expensive (one year old and cost $24K, original price something like $32.5K) but you get what you pay for I think. |

| 2011 | 4dr SUV 180-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic AWD |
One can see that engineers have pull at Honda. No part says "we saved 5 cents on every unit". |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic AWD |
Flawless bodywork and paint job. Excellent fit and finish on everything. Even the plastic pieces seem well made. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic AWD |
Te materials are firm but of good quality on the inside and the outside has great fit and finish as does the inside. The design is simple and functional. After a drive of almost 2000 miles we love it even more. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic AWD |
The car is solid.... nothing cheap looking or fitting on it. No squeaks or rattles. Controls well placed and thoughts out. |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic AWD |
Everything fits, looks nice and has no rattles. |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic AWD |
First class fit and finish of materials. |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
Higher quality than competitors. |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 156-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic AWD |
It is a solid car with no items that are likely to break. Doors close with a nice "thunk" Interior trim etc. just feels like quality but with no shiney frills. |
| 2004 | 4dr SUV 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
They made it wash out simple |
| 2003 | 4dr SUV 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic AWD |
For a low cost suv things are just fine |

| 2010 | 4dr SUV 180-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic AWD |
None so far |
| 2009 | 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
While i am sure the reliability will be outstanding, the fit and finish on the EX model does not compare to the Tiguan. It feels cheaper. I mean common, give us a decent console if I am to pay 30K |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
The plastic strip inside the doors looked cheap, as did a lot of the interior. |
| 2002 | 4dr SUV 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic AWD |
Interior panels are hard plastic. Lot of problems with the A/C in this model and the brakes have issues. |

| Available Features of the Subaru Outback: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2012 | 4dr Wagon 256-horsepower 3.6L H6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Well put together. No rattles or noises. |
| 2010 | 4dr Wagon 256-horsepower 3.6L H6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Having no previous knowledge of the brand, our test drive was a promising experience- the Outback is well engineered & properly assembled. |
| 2010 | 4dr Wagon 256-horsepower 3.6L H6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
For the price, materials in the Subaru are tough to beat. The whole structure just feels very solid too. |
| 2010 | 4dr Wagon 256-horsepower 3.6L H6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
In pre-purchase testing and research the Outback(s) seemed solid - panels and apparent components seemed to meet well and show quality fit and finish. The interior of my Ltd model, though conservative in design, was "a cut above" other vehicles I tested. |
| 2008 | 4dr Wagon 170-horsepower 2.5L H4 4-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Very good interior materials and excellent fit-and-finish - as good as or better than any comparable vehicles we looked at. |
| 2008 | 4dr Wagon 170-horsepower 2.5L H4 4-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
everything is well made and assembled. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.5L H4 4-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
first class detail |
| 2006 | 4dr Wagon 175-horsepower 2.5L H4 4-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
VERY solid build. Doors all close with a nice "thunk", and finish seems very nice |
| 2005 | 4dr Wagon 168-horsepower 2.5L H4 4-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
No squeaks, rattles, etc. |
| 2003 | 4dr Wagon 165-horsepower 2.5L H4 4-speed automatic AWD |
The car is well screwed together. No parts falling off the car, plus there are no interior squeaks |
| 2002 | 4dr Wagon 165-horsepower 2.5L H4 4-speed automatic AWD |
This is nearly a ten year old car, but everything in it feels like brand new. |
