Only complaint is the radio should remember what station I had on. Love all the safety features and at 65 mph I average 34 mpg! Great in upstate NY snow. This is our 8th,very good resale\trade in value.

I have a few months with this car. Its very reliable handles very good it is a very strong vehicle. The materials on this interior of this car are very high quality the leather of the seats feels good. Very comfortable on the rear seats it’s like an SUV Toyota Avalon. A tall person can fit perfectly in the back seat. Trunk space is very good can fit 4 big suitcases and 2 small suitcases. I love this car very reliable, strong, safe, and beautiful and elegant vehicle the only thing I dislike of this car is the fuel economy that’s the only reason I won’t give it 5 stars, I get 18 mpg in the city and sometimes 19 in the highway. Is not the best in economy but very safe and reliable.

I recently just sold my 2015 Subaru Outback Limited 2.5L. After almost 7.5 years of ownership and 83K miles I feel compelled to write you final thoughts. As a new car, I liked the Outback a lot. It drove pretty tight, handled well and initially seemed pretty well put together. Having owned Toyotas in the past I was hoping for better long term quality. In my time of owning the 2015, both front CV joints needed replacement before 50K miles. Every wheel bearing was replaced, two of them twice. When driving the car to trade-in on a new Toyota I could tell another wheel bearing was going to go out soon. After 7 years the car had a ton of squeaks and rattles. The CVT transmission was starting to feel a little funny and I would assume, true to its reputation, it was not long for this world. The CVT was the main thing driving me to dump the car. The HK stereo was pathetic at best. Pretty sad that this radio was supposedly the upgraded version that came in the Limited. Worse "upgraded" stereo I have ever had in a car. Subaru's mirror link served no purpose, total joke of a technology offering in 2015. Apart from the negatives above the car was an ok daily driver. It got solid gas mileage, had good interior layout and was very functional overall. It was very underpowered though. For the amount of money that Subaru is asking for the 2022 Outbacks with the 2.5L engine I just don't see the value any longer. Especially with the quality concerns i experienced with my car. Subaru needs to do some serious upgrading to the base engine and dump the garbage CVT transmissions. I didn't have an major mechancial failures in the time of my ownership but the little things (like having to replace wheel bearings, I got good at it) got old. I would not recommend one of these as a used car purchase at this point in time.

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.

Very comfortable car for long trips. Best seats we've ever had in a car. Added Michelin Premiers at 40K for added safety - quieter than the OEM tires. Still original brake pads on the front. The added after market plastic film paint shield [Armorshield] on the front end is doing a great job protecting against paint chips so common in the Northeast. Still get compliments on the factory wheels when stopped at traffic lights - LOL!
