| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2011 | 4dr Wagon 256-horsepower 3.6L H6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD | Compared to Many of the same type autos You get alot for the Money.Many competitors have the options but everything seems ala cart |
| 2010 | 4dr Wagon 256-horsepower 3.6L H6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD | Price new was $33K; about the same as every other car we considered, including the LR2, C300, XC70. |

| Price of the Subaru Outback: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2011 | 4dr Wagon 170-horsepower 2.5L H4 6-speed shiftable CVT AWD | Very expensive. |
| 2009 | 4dr Wagon 170-horsepower 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD | During Cash for Clunkers Subarus had limited incentives compared to other vehicles normally selling at a higher price point and with more content. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 245-horsepower 3.0L H6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD | $33,000 starting price. For what amounts to a nice station wagon. |
| 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. |
| 2003 | 4dr Wagon 212-horsepower 3.0L H6 4-speed automatic AWD | High price for its class |

What Our Members Are Saying about Subaru Outback Materials and Workmanship
| 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. |
