Once best known for its flame-spitting, rally-bred Imprezas, Subaru’s focus now is on cars that will appeal to a far wider audience, and especially one that values go-anywhere ability and no-nonsense values above all others.

17 Subaru used car reviews

Used Subaru Justy Hatchback 1992 - 2002

Only good if you really need four-wheel drive

Used Subaru Legacy Estate 1998 - 2003

The Legacy is a practical workhorse, but you'll need deep pockets to run it

Used Subaru Legacy Estate 2003 - 2009

Useful estate is let down by high running costs

Used Subaru Legacy Outback 2009 - 2014

A stereotypical Subaru – sacrifices interior appeal and ride comfort in favour of reliability and all-round ruggedness.

Used Subaru Legacy Saloon 1998 - 2003

The cabin is dull and the car is not cheap to run, but it's very underrated

Used Subaru Legacy Saloon 2003 - 2009

Drives well, but let down by high running costs

Used Subaru Outback 2015-2021

The Outback is roomy and well equipped, but it's not quite good enough to challenge the class best

Used Subaru XV 2012-2018

A high price when new prevented the Subaru XV frombeing a serious Nissan Qashqai rival, but does heavy depreciation mean we should view it differently as a used buy?

Once best known for its flame-spitting, rally-bred Imprezas, Subaru’s focus now is on cars that will appeal to a far wider audience, and especially one that values go-anywhere ability and no-nonsense values above all others.

The result is a mixed bag of offerings, none of which rise beyond being average in their class but most of which have facets that make them stand out from their rivals. Core to its range are the Forester and Outback SUVs, while the Crosstrek is a more conventional family SUV. The Solterra is the firm’s first electric SUV, and it is closely related to the Toyota bZ4X.

However, Subaru continues to ensure its models are four-wheel drive, and all are far more competent off-road than you might expect.
