144K and CVT started acting up...was told need new transmission by service manager. Also started burning oil at 110K....get oil caution lite before oil changes at +6k miles for change...very cheap made car...don't care to have another.
Best commuter.

I am original owner. My 3.6r limited is not fully loaded. It does not have eyesite, gps and sunroof. But that is exactly what I was looking for to reduce the price. I follow regular maintenance intervals. Recently replaced brake fluid an battery. Brakes still good. I replace engine and cabin air filters once a year. It has 45k miles on it. Average consumption is 24.8 mpg. I am thinking doing drain and fill cvt... need more info.... so many different opinions, and subaru is not clear on it as well. They extended warranty to 10y 100k. But I like to run all preventative procedures to keep the car as long as I am happy with it. Overal very good car for Colorado.

Don't let the the internet reports confuse you, it is a station wagon, not SUV. The sitting position of most of the seats are sedan/ wagon feel. The driver seat is a little more SUV-ish but is still not totally convincing. If you are looking for SUV, looks elsewhere. I got the limited with whatever features that came with the trim... no additional upgrades. There are a few things I don't like about: 1. Acceleration is slow and the engine is noisy. 2. Steering wheel is thin and small and doesn't feel very sophisticated. 3. Back camera is fish eye. Image is highly distorted and make it less reliable for park assistance. 4. Limited trim still doesn't come with the back up object alert or cross path detection which is pretty much the basic safety standard. With Subaru's advertising focus on safety features of their cars, the lack of such basic safety features in the limited trim is simply not acceptable. The entertainment/info center is easy to read but it's too simple and lack of features. In another words.. boring. 5. One of the worst lack-of-feature is that it doesn't provide push start and remote-less entry. This is something almost all American cars offers as standard feature at their mid trims. I am not sure why Subaru has the reserve it as an upgrade option. This is just cheap. 6. And make it even worst is that the key form is so dated. It's long and sharp and cannot fold or retreat. It's couple generation behind in term of key form and technology. This is a shame! 7. And another cheap design is that there is no height adjustment for the front passenger seat. It's also a standard feature for most of the current American cars. And my Subaru is not the lowest trim, its an limited and it still don't provide height adjustment for the passenger seat? This is a joke. And my passengers feels pretty not happy nor super comfortable with that low sitting position. Definitely not something anyone would expect to find in a "SUV" like car. Interior material is relatively okay but not great. Even it gives leather wheel, leather knob, leather seat... the leather quality just doesn't feel upscale. It's a Subaru... good thing is that it doesn't pretend it's an upscale car... because it's not.

Premium "leather" interior is garbage.

Less than three years, my "leather" driver's seat looks like a 1960's Chevy vinyl seat. That's because it IS mostly vinyl, not leather. The bolsters on the lower seat disintegrated. Cheap vinyl, became very brittle and cracked. I'm 6'-1" and 235 pounds.....big, but not HUGE. Very disappointed, and Subaru would not make good on it. So now, I have a three (almost four) year old car that looks like a thirty year old car. I had three Chevies, ten years each, before this car. I should not have left Chevy. Disappointed with Subaru.

I truly enjoy owning my Outback. However this vehicle has been traded in for a 2022 Outback Touring XT.I do not know when I posted the initial review, there have only been 3k miles put the vehicle since then. My son probably put on the bulk of the mileage until he took delivery of his 2017 Impreza Premium. At least this vehicle has only been to the dealer fro maintenance; unlike his 2011 Cruze that was always being repaired. Notice to those considering a new Outback. Please be aware that there are some design features that are just not driver friendly. The electric tailgate. You must UNLOCK all the passenger doors to use this feature from inside the vehicle. You have now opened yourself up to being carjacked. I own a GMC Terrain and when I go to the supermarket and have the groceries loaded into the vehicle, I have all the passenger doors locked, I don't even need to have the vehicle turned on for the electric tailgate to work. The store employee can load the groceries while I sit inside the vehicle safe. The remote start, what joke. You remote start the vehicle, but when you open the drivers door the engine stops. I own my vehicle since Nov 2014 as I update my review July 26,2016. I have about 10k miles on it. Here in the Philly area it has been close to 100 degrees lately, and the a/c is downright cold! I have gotten past the poorly thought out features. I truly am enjoying owning the Outback. It doesn't ride as smoothly as my GMC Terrain AWD, however I would never consider taking my Terrain off road, but would take the Outback. The EyeSight (TM) \was the best decision I made. It is unbelievable. It makes driving in traffic much more relaxing, once you trust it. The 2.5i engine is sufficient for my purposes. The vehicle is comfortable, quiet, and was just a good value overall. I am very pleased so far with the performance of my Outback. I have actually sold one for the dealer. Oh the dealer..these are great people. Prestige Subaru in NJ has provided outstanding customer service. I cannot say enough good things about them. I purchased my Outback and my Terrain from smaller family owned dealerships. The personalized service is well worth seeking this kind of dealer to do business with. Maybe one day the folks at Subaru will re engineer those few poorly thought out items.
