I read a lot about how the 2015 Outback was improved over the 2014 and earlier versions. We decided to take a look and drove off the lot with a new Premium model (4 cyl). Everything is better on the 2015. Stereo, speaker quality, suspension/handling and interior materials have all been upgraded. Most importantly the CVT auto trans is greatly improved. The car's acceleration is far more responsive and that horrible CVT engine drone and "mushiness" is gone.
So happy.

I've had my Outback Limited for almost a month and I am super happy with it. I was looking at a ton of different cars, the Mazda 3 5-door, Honda Fit, Honda CRV, and the Subaru Impreza 5-door. I really wasn't looking at the Outback at all until I decided the Impreza was going to be too small for my aging dog. I couldn't have made a better choice. The Outback is roomy and feels like it was made just for me, it's so comfortable. I love all of the electronics and the sound system is pretty darn great. It could use a iittle more pep on acceleration, but I guess that helps the gas milage. I highly recommend this car-it will suit all of my possible future needs: kids, big dogs, stuff...anything.

It's a nice, solid, comfortable car and gets amazing mpg considering how big the car is. The CVT transmission takes a little getting used to. The paddle shifters are a fun toy but if you think you can drive this thing like a Lambo you are crazy. Three complaints - the computer system is poorly designed. If you have your phone plugged in and do anything it turns the radio on! If you are in reverse you can't turn the radio off or down! The whole thing is unnecessarily confusing and complicated. It's like Windows from 1994. The keys really suck. They are huge and sharp and cost $430 to replace! There is no reason for that other than being a rip off.I
First Subaru hits the mark

This vehicle is basically the luxurious athlete of the crossover crowd. 2015 styling and consumer features are superior to 2014 and new CVT tuning is excellent. Quiet ride, lots of technology including Eyesight adaptive cruise control and lane departure/collision avoidance feature. Also got the blind spot detection. We added popular package 5 which amps up the utilitarian touches of an already practical design. After 20,000 miles the highway mileage exceeds 30 mpg at 75 MPH. One Tank got 34 MPG with all day highway travel without cross winds. Cross wind and hilly conditions on cruise can cut MPG to 28. Had to have rear hatch struts replaced at only 30 months..the electric lift gate was not opening or staying open. Subaru has been good on extension of transmission warranty and took care of the rear lift gate problem at no cost ( inside 36 months ownership, although at 37,000 miles service).

I traded my outback as I had brought it in twice for a leaking moon roof at the carwash. They ordered and installed a new moon roof and it still leaked. also me left leg was freezing as I had air coming in at the bottom. I had to wrap something on my leg when I drove. For those reasons I was fed up and traded it in. I was considering a crosstrek, but after that experience I went with a different make.
