2015 Outback Limited Worst car ever!!!

I bought new 2015 Outback limited in 2015. After 22 months the car would not start on multipple occasions after just one day sitting idle. Took it to two Subaru dealerships to find the problem, including the one I bought it from. Both dealerships claimed there is no problem, and the battery is good. Finally got fed up of wasting time while waiting for roadside assistance every time, and traded this lemon for a different car make. Took a huge loss on trade in of course! Want reliable car - go with Honda or others.

Great in bad weather, good mpg, handles fire trails and wasboard roads well and roomy enough for gear and provisions. Handles two canoes with additional gear on rooftop (with my homemade roof racks) and I've had no problem with the cvt, quite frankly it shifts well. Limited is nicely equipped and adding falken wildpeak all terrain trail tires has transformed the ride for the better both on and off road. I guess the true test is whether I would buy it again and the answer is a resounding "yes'.

We have owned all of the major Japanese brands and they are all great autos. However, we keep coming back to the Subaru's and lately it has been the Outback Premium 2.5. The 2015 Outback has a little more room and engine power compared to our 2012 and the technology is much more digital. I have noticed that many reviews mention a lack of power and to be fair, while the Subaru 2.5 is not going to make you feel the G's on acceleration, the engine is perfectly adequate for everyday driving. There is enough power to accelerate and easily merge into 70mph freeway traffic or to pass another vehicle. My mileage in town is at 24.3MPG and on road trips, the mileage goes well over 30MPG. The AWD for winter driving is a very important feature to us and the main reason why we keep buying Subaru.

Subaru advertised 25 city 33 highway mpg the outback will not do better than 26mpg combined,27mpg best I have seen on highway. Dealer said wait till 10 k miles now have 15k miles and it has not improved. I believe Subaru is misrepresenting the mpg

In August 2014, I purchased my 2015 Outback 2.5i Limited at Vic Bailey Imports, Spartanburg, SC. The car is terrific in every way. The ride is very comfortable for my wife and I - both in our mid-80s. The seats are high for great visibility. I really like the CVT. Smooth and quiet. The HarmanKardon sound system is supreme. I am averaging better then 27mpg around the local area. Highway consumption is much better. This is a truly great Subaru and should not be overlooked.

Engine seal oil leak after 5 years cost 4k to fix

I bought my outback new in 2015 and took great care of it. Since 2016, the car has been operated in California without extreme harsh weather. However, in 2020 summer, right after the power train warranty expired. Oil leak from engine seal and upper oil pan were detected. The cost is around $4,000. For a 6 years new car, this is not acceptable.

Battery issue

I start having problem stating the ignition. The battery is intermittently giving problems. I always check that there is no light left on. I had it jump couple of times from Subaru road assistance and AAA. I was told that don't leave the key to accessories, that it will drain the battery. I think the battery had issues. i will bring it to dealership. Its just only 2 years old.

Electrical issues not good- Stranded Mother-In-Law

There is no explanation or solution offered by service department and as mentioned in other reviews the battery will be dead if you do not drive vehicle on a regular basis. I keep a battery charger on stand-by in garage and have used it at least 4 times in last 6 months. Multiple visits to dealer results in same response indicating no issues with electrical system or battery. Then next month it happens again. Very poor quality for a car with such a good reputation. Would not buy this vehicle again. Update- replaced battery at my expense and it appears to have resolved issue. It appears that batch of bad batteries may have been a root cause but too bad issue was not addressed by Subaru dealer.

When we bought our Subaru Outback Premium and are thrilled with our purchase. It is great in snow, trails, and many other challenging tasks. When we take trips and have very little fatigue compared to some other cars we've had. It get good gas mileage for the size of the wagon. I am very impressed being that this is our first Subaru. Only improvements that I have made is to put in a new stereo system because the one that was in was not to iPhone friendly.
