I purchased this car new in 2015. I was in love with it. It is very comfortable, peppy, and solid. I had trouble when the car was a couple years old with the car not starting. I took it to the dealership service department. As they were bringing my car back and telling me that they couldn’t recreate my problem, my Outback wouldn’t start for them. They checked the battery again and it was fine. They ended up installing a new battery to satisfy me, but they weren’t able to figure out what caused the problem. The problem continued to happen occasionally, so I kept jumper cable with me to be safe. Lately, it has happened more frequently, so I researched the problem and I’m not alone. I called the Subaru service department and they are unwilling to cover costs. I realize I’m out of warranty at this point but they didn’t fixed the problem when my car was under warranty. I am disappointed with Subaru because this is a reoccurring problem with many buyers, and I don’t believe that they don’t know the cause. Subaru should recall and fix the problem. Corporate greed doesn’t agree with their marketing image. Sad!

We purchased this car and all was fine, the morning after it was 20 degrees we started the car and it knocked so bad I thought all of the rod bearings were shot. took the car back to the dealer and was told it was normal, no other explanation. when the car warms up the knock goes away. everything else about this car is fine except the clock which is hidden among the readout in lower center of .dash. I still want to know why it knocks when cold. us to sell the After 6 months of ownership we gave up, denials by the dealership prompted us to sell the car at a tremendous loss. a month later Subaru admitted they had a problem with some 4 cyl engines and outlined how to correct the problem.

Good Car but Gas Mileage is Off (Updated 2/29/16)

Purchased my 2.5i Limited in February, have 4000 miles on the car and my average MPG is only 23.4 MPG overall, with only 26.5 MPG Highway. Very dissapointed in the MPG, was the No. 1 reason I chose the Outback. Brought up the issue with the dealer and was told it should get better after the break-in period which is typically 10-15k miles. Really, it takes a year to break in this car? The 12 speaker Harman Kardon stereo also has disappointing sound quality. And lastly, do not spend $ on the side door moldings, they are supposed to help prevent door dings and I got two dings in the first two weeks, Not worth the $285. Otherwise, the car is comfortable, easy to drive, with plenty of room. <br><br>Update 2/29/16 Now that I have 10,000 miles on the car wanted to give a review update. Gas mileage has not gotten any better, only a little worse. Just took the car on a 2000 mile roadtrip from IN to TX and back and averaged 24 MPG all highway, this is unacceptable. I can not justify driving a 4 cyl vehicle that only gets 24 mpg. My father-in-law's new 6 cyl Highlander gets the same or slightly better mileage. The Outback is fine otherwise, but the dismal gas mileage from the 4cyl is just too much to accept. I will be trading in or selling this vehicle over the next couple months, gas mileage was the number one reason I choose the Outback and its just been terribly disappointing. Update 4/15/16 - Traded the Outback in, and couldn't be happier. I'll give them credit on resale, they do hold their value. I have friends they swear by the Outbacks but I just couldn't get on board with the dismal gas mileage out of a 4 cyl. If you are looking at an Outback, get the 6cyl, you will get the same gas mileage as the 4 but have a lot more pep and power.

This is my first Subaru. I am experiencing the annoying wind noise from the triangular window on both the passenger and drivers side. It certainly has put a damper on the fun of owning a new vehicle. I have been waiting for a call from the dealership, which is waiting for a service bulletin from Subaru. Otherwise, it seems to be a wonderful vehicle.
