here i post the Subaru Outback..1 of the best family cars on USNews..this article can help u alot if u have any plan to buy car for ur family.
The 2013 Subaru Outback ranks 1 out of 8 Wagons. This ranking is based on our analysis of 19 published reviews and test drives of the Subaru Outback, and our analysis of reliability and safety data.
Test drivers say the 2013 Subaru Outback successfully combines the utility of an SUV with the drivability of a car, making it one of the best wagons in the class.
The 2013 Subaru Outback has standard all-wheel drive and a choice between a four- or six-cylinder engine. Test drivers note that the four-cylinder engine is best for commuting and in-town driving, but the six-cylinder is better at freeway passing and merging, as well as navigating hilly terrain. Handling is a standout for the Outback, with most test drivers agreeing that it drives like a sedan, with confident handling and a smooth ride. Kelley Blue Book says the Outback is "as spacious and capable as a conventional mid-size SUV, but delivers the fuel efficiency and driving characteristics of a sedan." Safety is another high point for the Outback. The 2012 model, which is similar to the 2013, is an Insurance Institute for Highway Safety Top Safety Pick for its strong crash test performance.
The Subaru Outback is the 2013 Best Wagon for the Money because it has the best combination of ownership costs and positive reviews in its class. The Subaru Outback is also the 2013 Best Wagon for Families because it has the best combination of quality, size and family-friendly features in its class.
Reviewers say the interior of the 2013 Subaru Outback is well-built, with nice materials for the price and plenty of space for passengers and cargo. The five-seat Outback features a back seat that reclines, as well as newly-standard Bluetooth phone and music connectivity. Reviewers say the base stereo doesn't sound very good, however, and recommend upgrading to the premium system. Also new for 2013 is Subaru's EyeSight crash mitigation system, which works to detect and prevent or mitigate collisions.
