Used 2015 Subaru Outback Consumer Reviews
Very disappointed and had to return car
We purchased a 2015 Subaru Outback limited. We really wanted to like this car. Unfortunately the leather seats were too small and very painfully uncomfortable. The center console in this car makes the interior space too cramped in the front cabin. And most most painful of all, the forward tilting head restraints caused severe pain in our upper backs, shoulders and necks. After a 30-minute drive, we were in very bad pain in our necks and backs. So we had to return the car to the dealer. This is really unfortunate because the car has wonderful attributes if it were not for these problems. Maybe petite small people can be okay with this car.

Great car, ticks all the right boxes
Our Outback's size, comfort and utility has served us well as a commuting car, kid transporter, and road tripper. I especially love the safety features including Eyesight which makes driving both easier and safer. It has never stranded us. With 42,000 miles we have had two minor problems: a very minor oil gasket leak and a stuck fuel door. Both were repaired under warranty. My only disappointment is that despite careful driving, we our fuel economy is about 7% below below the EPA estimates. The past year we looked at new vehicles but didn't feel that there was enough to gain to justify the cost of replacing out 2015 UPDATE 1.15. 2022: After researching and driving potential replacements (Ford Escape PHEV, Hyundai Santa Fe / Tucson hybrids, RAV-4 hybrid) for our 2015 Outback we just purchased a 2022 Outback Touring 2.5i for the improved comfort and safety features. Despite the many newer models we found that an Outback is still the best fit for our needs.

Very nice car
I have owned my 2015 Subaru Outback for 3 years and have 52000 miles on it. Fuel economy has been 32 overall. Long road trips 55mph=39mpg, 60=36mpg, 65= 33.5mpg all measured at the pump instead of the inaccurate vehicle computer. The original Bridgestone tires are junk and were replaced at 30600 miles with much superior Michelen Defenders. Original 35 series battery is undersized for cold weather and all the accessories. I replaced it with an AC Delco group 24 with twice the reserve capacity with slight modifications to the battery blanket. Front seat comfort was an issue for me on long trips, sheepskin sideless seat covers from Costco took care of that. Overall I am very happy with the car and would definitely buy it again.

Retired, everyday is a travel day
Loved my little green Subi but like the title suggests I had a high milage vehicle ( 2015 = 60,000 miles) driving mostly on Mexico's rough roads...The only three things I would have changed or added to it would be a more convenient for the lever for the gas cap door, a way of telling which tire was loosing air and a driver lane adjust feature...When I found out the 2018 had most of these features I had to buy one... 2 out of 3 features is not too bad..........
