Cars.com Video: 2011 Subaru Outback

The 2011 Subaru Outback competes with the Toyota Venza and Honda Accord Crosstour, but it outsells both of them combined. The Outback accomplishes this by being affordable, reliable and fun to drive, according to Cars.com reviewer Kelsey Mays. Still, there are a few quibbles related to the Outback’s “OK” interior and outdated navigation system. Is that enough to put off wagon fanatics? Watch the video to find out.

I really don't go for wood grain in any vehicle, and didn't really care for it all that much in the Outback. I wish that you could have the option of interior trim when upgrading engines, but my dislike for the trim was so much that I chose the 4-cyl -- which was not a bad choice at all.

Without the navigation, the interior isn't that bad. Good fit/finish, soft materials throughout, and lightyears above the 2006 Toyota RAV4 Limited that I had before.

I was disappointed by the Bluetooth as well, but opted not to get it. It doesn't seem to work with most/all smartphones, and this is where Subaru needs to invest in a Ford Sync-type system.

I've heard that Subaru Outback/ Legacy warranty claims mounting faster then trash in the dump. So here goes the reliability part. Wait for the second year of production.

Naviation, decoration is not so bad. Happy new year fit and finish, soft materials, and the light above before.It 2006 Toyota RAV4 Limited they do not seem to work on most all smartphones, and this Subaru has to invest in the Ford Sync-style system.

I LOVE this generation of Outback out of them all. My grandmother has been driving subaru wagons since the late 80's and I've been in just about everyone of them for road trips. Compared to last gens interior space, this gen is vastly greater. Never had much love for the H6 as the 4-cylinder feels adaquate enough for the vehicle, plus its efficient. The trim needs to be changed though. Both the wood and the plastic silver seem very sub par for the car. Also the power door locks dont automatically lock by themselves, which is a major pet peeve for all of us in the family. But other than that, its full love of car.

Nice outback information. The 2011 Subaru out back is very nice to know. Cars.com defined it very well by providing an awesome video.
