Was originally interested in the 4cyl Forester, but after reading about Oil Consumption Issues with the 4cyl engines, decided to go for the 6cyl Outback. The 6 cyl with the CVT is very Smooth/Quiet and has nice pep. There is a little lean with turns, but no big deal (taller car). The interior and infotainment system is much improved over previous models. Speakers are clear, but seem to lack some depth to the sound. USB ports are GREAT for music. Did not get the eyesight/nav system cause of the extra cost. LOVE the blindspot monitoring system. Very happy with the purchase and look forward to the next 10+ years with this vehicle. Bring on Winter!!
Would never buy this car again

Have had my 2015 Outback all of 10 days and would never buy another one with the navigation system. In the 2015, you can not turn off the voice guidance system. I am forever hearing, "recalculating route!" I have called one dealer, taken it to another, and spent 10 days waiting for Subaru to tell me it is not possible to turn off the voice guidance. Performance, comport, value, fun to drive, etc., are all a zero when you can't enjoy sitting in the car. Every song, every radio station every conversation in the car is punctuated by the guidance voice interruption. Turning it down helps (Subaru's only suggestions), but it is still always there!

Just upgraded from a 2013 to 2015 Subaru Outback. They improved its handling in snow and the electronic steering and cvt are smoother. I rated the 2015 low due to quality of the fit and finish of the body panels especially my hood. My 2013 and other manufactures have nice consistent gaps between body panels. I even found an online video where someone was showing issues with their hood.
average vehicle, too many recalls and TSB'S

The first issue at 6600 miles is the , SRVD " system (blind spot ) , has disabled intermittently since new in April 2015 ( over a dozen times) , as others have complained , illuminates on dash SRVD disabled on occasion , it does reset when engine is turned off,after over 40 times I returned to selling dealership in Denver on 12/29/15 , also I have been in contact with Subaru customer service, I had found TSB #Sb 07-90-15 released 04/22/15 just weeks after we picked up our Outback 3.6 liter Limited ; the sensors were replaced along with a module , took a week, it appears to be operating correctly , 01/11/16 , now has 7900 miles; update 07/11/16 14,000 miles, blind spot is working correctly after repair . update 07/12/17 24,000 miles, eyesight cameras are not 100% accurate , as I have been told by dealership service department, at times will alert when a vehicle is up to 40 feet from the front of the vehicle, also cross traffic alert in reverse at times will sound with vehicles up to 100 feet away , also told this is normal, would have not wanted all these new safety features if these issues were disclosed, also if the windshield is replaced, has to have a genuine Subaru glass for the camera's , which can cost up to $1,000 , re-calibration is about $250 of that , insurance won't cover that. Will return for another problem on 07/28/17 , side view mirrors are loose, rattle, screws have to be removed and have red lock-tight , this is a known problem; also as many have complained , the rear power lid at times either opens by itself, or won't open , several times won't close, recently several times it goes half way down then back up ; just got a letter Subaru has extended the warranty on the CVT transmission to 10 years or 120,000 miles, that is nice . Won't buy another one , my 2017 Tacoma is much better; update 01/18/18 29,000 miles ; 3 times to selling dealership for rattle in eyesight camera housing , very annoying , remains not fixed , lots of complaints for same problem , shimmed it with cardboard , still rattles , 2015 Outbacks have a very poor resale value, at almost 3 years old with a cost of about $40,0000, Limited 3.6 liter loaded with all options now worth about $22,000 again not a good value

I have replaced the battery once, have gone on longer drives to keep the battery charged, have had a software update so the battery will charge more and I trickle charge the battery several times a month and I still have been stranded four times in the last 30 days. I live in fear of leaving a dome light on or not closing the door properly when I park since I will have a 95% chance of the car not starting when I get back. This car is awesome and I love the way it drives and the lack of other issues it has had in the 3 years 7 months and 74799 miles that I have had it but it is now becoming a burden because of this issue. I am VERY Frustrated!. A few weeks ago I drove 460 miles in one day and the next morning the car would not start because a dome light had been on for 8 hours. I have never had that issue with any of the other cars I have owned.
