Love the car, but battery went in less that a year in a car that is garage stored. Get 23.1 MPG overall 60/40 mix on city/highway driving--pleased. The 3.6 power is nice to have for a 2 mpg trade-off. Handles nice and is quiet. Need to move the clock is a nit they should fix this year.

I’m a former raving fan of Subaru Outback. I bought my first Outback 2.5i Limited in 2012, a second in 2015, and then told every friend who would listen these were the best cars on the road. THREE of my friends then followed with purchases of their own. So I can confirm I’ve been personally responsible for the purchase of five (5!) Outbacks since 2012. Subaru then BROKE MY HEART…my 2015 at nearly exactly 60,000 miles had bad wheel bearings in BOTH rear wheels. The windshield cracked along the lower edge (for the second time) during a ski trip to Tahoe after turning on the defroster while parked…no rock strike. And now the CV axle in the front right needs replacement, so I’m going to assume the left side is not far behind. So in the last year…at only 60k miles, I’ll be spending $1,700 (rear bearings & windshield), plus an estimated $600 for the CV work…for a grand TOTAL ON REPAIRS IN ONE YEAR AT 60K MILES…$2,300!! That’s a long way from 5-star reliability…and I’m researching my next purchase now…probably NOT going to be a Subaru. - Broken hearted :(

This is my 3rd Outback and it's poor to say the least. The transmission hesitates, studders, and is "jerky". My old ones didn't do this and they were the CVT as well. The Forester is a little better. The dealership and Subaru USA said; "it's just a different feel". Yeah right, this is why there are so many complaints on this issue. Also, they made it sound as if they made the car bigger? Not much so. This is a very poor job done by Subaru and if they spent more time figuring it out versus defending their cars, they could have taken care of it. Worst purchase I've made.

Just bought a 2015 with everything but the moon roof and nav. Nice ride but gas mileage seems dismal so far. Hope after the break-in period it improves substantially. Interior is very nice. I got leather as I thought the cloth felt cheap and thin.

Now have 75435 miles on our Outback and we love the room in the front seats, seat could be bit longer on our theighs. City Gas mileage is less than advertised about 18.5, highway around 27mpg. Clock could be bigger but biggest flaw is failure of the doors to lock when car is placed in drive and unlock when in park. This is a safety issue and if I had known or realized this when I was looking at the car I would never have bought it. After 75000 plus miles, my opinion of this vehicle has changed little, still less than listed MPG and that does not make me happy. great ride and visability as well as comfort. Car is also very noisy and was told to just turn up the radio by salesman. if and that is a BIG IF they would improve the MPG and made the vehicle 50 percent quieter, I'd buy another one in a heart beat. til then NO WAY. Only major repairs on our car was new tires at 45000 miles, otherwise a really dependable car. If only they could make the care less noisy make that a lot less noisy.
