Used 2018 Subaru Outback 2.5i

* Based on opinions and should be considered as general guidance only.

• Reliability (4)
  4 out of 5 stars
  Subaru generally has a strong reputation for reliability, and the 2018 Outback is no exception. Owners typically report few major issues, and the all-wheel-drive system is robust. Regular maintenance is key, as with any vehicle.
• Maintenance (3)
  3 out of 5 stars
  Maintenance costs are generally average for the segment. Routine services are straightforward, but some specialized Subaru repairs, particularly related to the AWD system or Boxer engine, can be slightly more expensive than some competitors if issues arise.
• Technology (3)
  3 out of 5 stars
  The infotainment system is user-friendly with a responsive touchscreen and standard Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. However, some of the advanced safety features (EyeSight) were optional on many trims, and the overall tech interface, while functional, isn't cutting-edge compared to some rivals.
• Comfort (4)
  4 out of 5 stars
  The Outback provides a very comfortable ride, soaking up road imperfections well. The seats are supportive for long journeys, and there's ample space for both front and rear passengers, making it a great family hauler.
• Dynamics (3)
  3 out of 5 stars
  The 2018 Outback 2.5i offers stable and predictable handling, especially with its standard all-wheel drive. However, the 2.5L engine can feel underpowered for spirited driving or highway passing, and the CVT, while smooth, doesn't inspire much excitement.
