This is my first Subaru. I traded a 2011 Jetta Wagon TDI for it. I traded because I wanted an AWD for weather situations, and mountains. I knew it would have lower gas mileage. However, I was not expecting such a vast difference in fuel mileage. I am now angry almost daily, as I watch the gas meter drop before my eyes. I clearly have made a terrible mistake. The gas consumption of this car is disgusting. I want my TDI back (sad face). Well, it's a few years later now, and Edmunds asked me to add new thoughts to this review. I'm now used to the Outback. It's a good car. I feel safe in it. The TDI certainly had better mileage, and it was the most fun car I have ever owned.

The battery has failed three times in three years, and been replaced once. One of the lighter outlets has never worked. Car is very under powered. The center consoled ergonomics is non existent with parking controls taking up most of the room. Fold down seats should fold flatter than currently. The Outback is way overrated and desperately needs interior redesign and reengineering. I understand that most users prefer the Outback for outdoor recreation (i.e. The Northwest), but I fail to see why when the cup holder does not even hold a cup of coffee. I understand the Outback is very popular and holds resale value, but unless Subaru works on tweaking this vehicle it will be taken over by another brand. I will not recommend the Outback in the current state and am very disappointed.

I don't know where the issue emanates from but we are having battery issues with our 2015 Outback. Took it to Advance Auto Parts to have the battery tested and was told it has the wrong battery in it. Apparently the car is rated for a 490 cca battery but has a 360 cca battery in it. Contacting dealership today to try to resolve the issue. We have never replaced the battery ourselves and bought the vehicle brand new so I am assuming it came off the lot with this battery but don't know for sure. I guess someone could have tampered with it but we have only had oil changes etc. done at the dealership.
