ποΈ Best Subaru Outback Years:
Among the used Subaru Outback models, a few stand out as trusted options.
A notable mention goes to the sixth-generation, 2020-2022 Subaru Outback’s, which offered a larger infotainment screen, a turbocharged engine option, and a spacious cabin, making it a preferred choice for many.
For those who appreciate a balance of performance and practicality, the Subaru Outback XT trims, which feature turbocharged engines, have become increasingly popular.
But what about the best used Subaru Outback, which is more likely to cross Pontiac Auto Auction? Some of the best models are the 2nd generation facelift 2003-2004 Outback’s.
The 2004 model stands out with a substantial redesign, adopting a more robust wagon-style body, distinguishing it from previous iterations. The introduction of the 2.5XT model, equipped with a turbocharged engine, provides a livelier and sportier driving experience. This makes the 2004 Outback an attractive choice for those aiming to balance cost savings and a reliable and more modern design and features.
You also can trust the mid to late 2000’s models, especially the 2005, 2007, and 2009 Subaru Outback. Head over to our inventory page and filter by “make”. Or click here for a list of Subaru's. π You’re almost guaranteed to find an Outback available.
You have very good reason to buy a car at auction in Michigan.

While the Outback has certainly proved its mettle over the years, like any vehicle, it's not entirely without its quirks.
Car complaints has tracked electrical problems, excessive oil consumption, transmission failures, windshield problems, steering problems, and more.
Think twice about the 2013 Subaru Outback, as well as the 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019 Subaru Outback.
