Be great if the blind spot warning made a noise when the turn signal is on. Also wish the interior lighting was better. Low blue light makes it hard to see anything. The trunk needs a light. It’s a dark hole at night.

2018 Outback - Huge Issue with Harmon Kardan Radio

Overall, was happy until 5800 miles and my center display console stopped working. No back-up camera, no maps, no Bluetooth, no radio or CD player. It's a huge KNOWN issue with Subaru. New "radio" is on back order with absolutely no known shipping date. My display tanked on November 13th. If you take your car to the dealer before the radio goes out, they'll do a download to correct the issue. Once the radio goes out, there's nothing that can be done.

My 5th Outback and 7th Subaru. I have owned a 1997, 2010, 2011, 2014 before this one.By far the most improved and best Subaru I have ever owned. No complaints on this great car. Subaru has done their homework and listened to their customers, unlike many manufacturers that put profits before their customers. I highly recommend Subaru and Outback.

This is my fourth Subaru and based upon our initial experience, this is the best yet. While we only have 3,500 miles on the car, we were able to break it in on a long road trip and it was extremely comfortable. Combined hwy/city mileage was 25mpg, it's quiet, the transmission is amazing, there's tons of room and the 3.6R engine is sneaky fast. While this is not a rock crawler, ground clearance and off road capability of the car are exceptional. We bought this vehicle after owning three 4Rnr's and if you are looking for an SUV of any type, I'd highly recommend the Outback.

Updated February 2019: Now have over 7,000 miles on the Outback and have had it in lots of snow and rain events. Vehicle handles very well in snow and ice situations. Drove it through a blizzard on I-70 Thanksgiving time and it did fantastic. Have had lots of snow and ice this winter and haven't missed a day of work or any scheduled plans. Very comfortable driving in the Outback. I really like the heated seats and heated steering wheel. No issues to report. Have had it in for its first service visit covered in purchase price. It has been to Little Rock Arkansas and St. Louis as well. I have owned this Outback for one week now and only have driven it about 300 miles, but I am very pleased with the vehicle overall. It is exactly what I expected, not winning any speed races, but feel very safe and it is quiet and drives very nice. Have not had it out in any rain yet (none falling from the sky here) so I can't say how well it does in any kind of inclement weather. Cargo space is great for the vehicle size. Ride is comfortable. Still learning all the bells and whistles. Trying to read through the manual, but life keeps interfering. Overal;l at this point I am very pleased with my purchase.
