I traded a 2014 Subaru Outback Limited with 46,000 miles for this 2026 Subaru Outback Touring non turbo. I am a person who cares about mpg and looked at hybrids before settling on this Outback. This car just felt like I was at home in it. The non -turbo engine is a absolutely, positively, unequivocally FINE, and meets my driving needs perfectly, including very decent mpg. Its interesting that this engine is essentially the same as my 2014 which was stellar. However, I am pleased that somehow the mpg's are substantially better. I'm getting 25 in city and over 30 highway although I haven't taken a long highway drive thus far, and I expect to get 35 or better. The java brown napa leather interior is stunning and luxurious! The Harmon Kardon sound system, even through just the Sirius radio, brings a smile to my face when my favorite '70's songs are played. It is so surround sound. I love the rear view camera mirror because it shows you the rear view without going through the rear seat area/rear window. It's also more wide angle. I feel so much safer in this car than my 2014 because I sit higher and have so many more safety features that were unavailable in 2014. This car drives like a dream, smooth and quiet. Braking is much better than I was used to. Easy access and exit. I'm still learning the infotainment system but I just need warmer weather so I can park somewhere and fiddle around with it. I researched cars for over a year and test drove quite a few. This Subaru is my dream car. the first time ever I've bought "top of the line" and I'm enjoying driving it very much. I recommend both the 2026 Outback and also the Touring non-turbo. Go for it!!
