What owners wrote
Test drove 2011 subaru outback 3.6r before purchase and vehicle had front end shake at freeway speed of 70 MPH or so. As result did not buy.
Even after all the soa (subaru of america) "fixes" / service bulletins I still have a vibration issues at highway speeds, feel it in the seat and in steering wheel. It gets worse at highway speeds if your going around a curve on it tends to get worse. Even after through the curve.. Also noted it doesn't matter weather conditions hot, cold raining or dry.
