| I have started driving my husband's 2016 Subaru Outback and so far I don't love it It's reliable and drives well, but it's also really long and I never use the trunk. It just seams too big for me to drive around town in. Can someone tell me why the Outback is so well liked? I know it's a good solid car, but is there something else too? |

| It’s safe, practical, low maintenance, goes great in the snow and didn’t cost a fortune. |

Why is it well liked? Many people do use the trunk. Pets, skis, hockey bags, costco...It's also great in bad weather and is safe and comfortable. And for a while eyesight was the best adaptive cruise system out there. Subaru's marketing is also excellent... |

| Mine made me feel like I could take on anything and go anywhere while also making me feel practical and impervious to trends. I loved that car. |

| It’s a decent road trip car. You can carry a lot, gets a bit over 30 mpg, adaptive cruise control + lane assist means east hands free driving. |

| I think the spacious trunk is a big win for a lot of people. If you don’t need the trunk space, something like the Crosstrek is a better choice. It’s a nice car that’s better sized for driving around without a lot of gear. |

Pretty much this. I use the back all the time for groceries, home depot runs, etc. I grew up with volvos when they were the safe, practical car. |

+1. It isn't a monster SUV and I can still carpool 3 or 4 kids. Plenty of trunk space for groceries, sports gear, Home Depot runs and road trips. Excellent gas mileage, even with the 6 cylinder which I think is a must. Head and leg space work for my 6' DH. I'm driving my fourth Outback, finally purchased after leasing three others. |

Get a Crosstrek Limited instead if the Outback feels too long. All the same plusses as the Outback, it's just smaller.
It's an incredibly safe car, loaded with features, sensible price, AWD, etc. And the new Crosstrek is pretty sporty looking!

Outback’s are great because you can fold the back seats down and sleep in back on multi day hunting/fishing road trips.
I’ve saved literally thousands of dollars in hotel stays over 5 years of owning one. |

| OP here, thanks everyone for cheering me up. I talked to my dh and we are keeping the Outback. It is too big for us, but it's a good, solid car and we will keep it for a few more years. |
