after driving a 2011 outback for nearly 4 years its been the best car ever. its fully loaded and drives like a dream. its a bit under powered but over all id give it a 10 out of 10. it does what i need it to do all day everyday ( minus some power id like to have available }its an amazing car.
I bought a 2011 Outback 3.6r with 152,000 miles on it. Just rolled over 163,000 yesterday. I love the car. Plenty of power from the H6 engine. (256hp). 5 speed auto (no cvt). No issues. Regular maintenance. I put Falken Wildpeak A/T trail tires on it. I live on the side of a small mountain and also have a steep gravel driveway. Gave my Jeep Grand Cherokee to my sister and it was great but I am very happy with my Outback.
I'm also looking at getting one this month with 130,000. From everything I've researched they tend to last about 300,000-350,000 before catastrophic failure. Just just the oil frequently because they use 20w and ita a very thin oil. And the alternator tends to surge when they get worn out causing the headlights to blow
