Bought new, didn't get all the new eyesite safety features but has been a extreme reliable vehicle and fits a lot of stuff in back. We have 2 dogs: a great Dane and a boxer who both fit and like riding in it! Gets 22-23 mpg which is good enough and the all wheel drive is used occasionally. We did get the just out navigation and 8" touch screen option which still works well, although a little slow to connect occasionally.

I’ve owned my 2015 3.6R Subie for 6 years and 70k miles. No issues at all. I take road trips to very remote places and have utter confidence in the Outback. I climb rugged mountain passes, cross barren desert trails, ford streams, and drive 90 mph on Interstates. All without problems. I also camp in the car and sleep in back. Go Subaru!

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.

small reoccurring problems that I feel should have been covered but weren't, the gas cap opener failed, repaired $400 and happened again, should have been covered, I felt the leather on drivers seat was breaking down and splitting, no real sign yet but I could feel it. the transmission slipped more and longer than it should have as with I often backed out on to a main road and had to wait as it slipped dangerously long before drive would work.

2015 Outback after an 87 Loyale Wagon & 01 Legacy

Excellent overall vehicle at a very competitive price. My other current vehicles are a 2007 Infiniti M35 and a 2007 Honda Ridgeline, both purchased new, so I'm used to driving decent vehicles. Outside of carrying loads like a pickup truck or hybrid truck does, the Outback does almost anything one would want from a vehicle. Great utility and economy at a low entry price. Even the flat 4 cylinder does a better job than expected. Update at 15,000 miles: Outback is still performing well and gets better gas mileage than I expected. I have not had to return to the dealer to fix any problems, but it does have a pending recall for a faulty brake pedal switch. The car provides the versatility I wanted and is easy to maintain. My vehicle leased in Florida came with free oil changes at 6,000 mile intervals. But I do my own oil changes, and doing the Outback is a breeze.

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.

Battery issue

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.

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.
