Pleasantly surprised by comfort, mileage, and handling of car. Eye sight isc helpful searching blind spots. Good acceleration with 6 cylinder. Comfortable seats. Very good long distance car. Quiet. Still handles well and much better lights then previous Outbacks. The universal criticisms for the clock and outside temp are true, difficult to find. Good bad weather car as advertised. Still happy with car. Drives well. Eyesight clearly helpful. At 43000 miles. No issues with car. Drives well on high way 650 mile road trip. Speed control does well and keeps distances well. No improvement in mileage as engine breaks to keep distance. Overall very happy with car. Eye sight is worth it. At 50,000 miles still enjoy car. No unusual maintenance issues

Subaru seem to think that just putting a light on the dashboard means something. We had trouble on a long journey when just about all the lights on the dashboard lit up. On consulting the handbook we discovered that it might be something to do with the X mode. So what does this mean? Contact a Subaru dealer and don't drive it. Great - the nearest dealer was over 120 miles away over a mountain range. Fortunately my husband had the bright idea of disconnecting the battery and leaving it to reset for an hour or so. It worked - nothnig wrong apparently as it has not come on since. Thanks for the scare Subaru! It is also almost impossible to get rid of the low tire pressure light even when all are showing the correct pressure. All in all it seems to be too much technology for the car.

Love the car, it was a choice between an Audi all road at over $60 or it’s closest competition the 3.6 limited outback. The great quality for such a low price (our price new was below msrp @ $34k) is amazing. Drives easily, good handling, comfort and roominess. The mpg is not the best but relative to the size and power of this vehicle. Now for the negatives,,,the road line sensor warnings nonstop beeping is annoying plus there isn’t an obvious way to turn it off. The factory battery is weak and small. The battery needs to be replaced long before it fails and upgraded to a unit with more reserve capacity due to the self diagnosis the car does every night. This self diagnosing uses up too much power and drains down the battery also if you put a front window shade in you can accidentally hit the map light during daylight hours and kill your battery that way too. Lastly I don’t know if it’s low quality factory tires or the Subi AWD system but the tires were completely wore out and not safe after only 45k miles of regular mixed city/freeway driving. Our other AWD cars factory tires last 65-70k miles so we were amazed. Over all this is a great, dependable and comfortable car especially after the tire and battery upgrades we did. Also love the free lifetime oil changes our dealer gave us. Long term update- car is doing well all except for the drivers seat fabric which is literally falling apart. Then there are the electronic issues IE. the front passenger power window refuses to close. Also the rear tail gate either will it open or,will not close.

I AM AFRAID OF MY 2015 OUTBACK

I bought my 2015 Subaru Outback 3.6R Limited new SUV with 24 miles on the odometer ( I put14 miles on while test driving). I paid CASH. 39,296.66$. I had done my Due Diligence, researching every vehicle I was interested in owing as my " Last or Forever" Auto. Subaru's Outback statistics were impressive, winning many prestigious awards, and held the Best SUV Title for 2015. Every auto critic liked her but didn't have a longevity study for the redesigned Subaru. After my test drive, I too was a fan. UNTIL NOW!!! It is now almost three years to the day that I drove this beast off the dealer's lot in Las Vegas. I have had Four (4) RECALLS and a 'Voluntary Warranty Extention Program' as it applies to the New Car Limited Powertrain Warranty covering defects to the Continuously Variable Transmission(CVT). Subaru preemptively offered this gesture of a Warranty Extension before an official recall took place. My Outback has 24,200 miles on the Odometer today. I EXPERIENCED A TREMENDOUS MACHINAL FAILURE THAT IS BEING COVERED UP! I had already been dealing with the only Subaru Dealership here in Las Vegas regarding another recall, this time on the Transmission for a Leak. This involved: CVT CHAIN COVER RESEAL, WITH RING SEAL, SUPER THREE BOND, CVTF-II, GSKT EXH PIPE F, GASKET (CR), and two days to service my Outback. Exactly One Week Later, and the first time that I drove FASTER THAN SURFACE TRAFFIC SPEEDS, the DRIVETRAIN FAILED. Four minutes earlier I was doing 80 miles per hour on a very fast-moving stretch of the Interstate 215. Instinct told me to exit the dangerous traffic conditions. As I slowed to normal surface street speed limits, making the green signals at two major intersections, I, fortunately, made my turn onto a side street when the metallic sounds filled the space within my SUV. It was so loud that it made me flinch! As I collected my breath, then came huge sounds of metal crunching and twisting under my wheels, the car jerked forward as though I went over a speed bump and I was able to stop. I honestly thought that I had run over a child on a bicycle who must have darted out between cars as I was distracted by the original metal event. I knew that this child had to be dead! I jumped out of the Outback, and to my astonishment, there was nothing under the car; nothing hanging down, no liquid leaking, no dents, no nothing! That evening I had TWO REPUTABLE MECHANICS THAT WERE WITNESS AND INVOLVED WITH THIS EVENT. I WAS TOLD BY BOTH, WHAT HAPPENED AND THE SUBSEQUENT EFFORTS TO MOVE THE AUTO, PROVED THAT IT WAS A MAJOR DRIVE-TRAIN FAILURE. It would shift into gear and want to go, but the wheels didn't move round and round. Ultimately, she got wrenched onto a flatbed. Now, SUBARU IS LIEING ABOUT THE EXTENT OF DAMAGE "THEY STATED", only willing to replacing transmission!

Love the car, but battery went in less that a year in a car that is garage stored. Get 23.1 MPG overall 60/40 mix on city/highway driving--pleased. The 3.6 power is nice to have for a 2 mpg trade-off. Handles nice and is quiet. Need to move the clock is a nit they should fix this year.
