many improvements over my 2014. Excellent acceleration. Quiet. Comfortable. Great roof rack system with tie downs. However, the center console display has blacked out a few times. Back to the dealer and they cannot duplicate the fault. Long term issue? Who knows. Just sold it and bought a Rivian R1T truck.

The electronics keep shutting down, totally! Almost certainly due to a short withing a wiring harness, this has happened three times now. The service department at Capitol Subaru in Roswell Georgia told me it was a "code error in a throttle sensor". This is a non existent diagnosis, they are just making it up, and hoping I am as stupid as the average subaru driver? This car may kill your family.

We bought the XT Touring and it is well worth the extra cost. The seats are very comfortable even on long trips, the car is very well built and the turbo engine is both fast and fuel efficient. Everything you could want in a wagon / suv!

I am a tall guy and need optimal leg room. The Outback offers more leg room than most SUV's. In addition, the Touring and Limited models include an extendable thigh support on the driver's seat. This is the most comfortable car I have driven. I am surprised that Subaru does not promote that feature more. Colors are limited now so I have one coming on a train from the plant in Indiana. Should arrive mid to late August. LOVE the vehicle. No defects at all. Only recommendation I have is to install a "vehicle wash" control option to disengage the auto breaking and vehicle hold as you go through a car wash. Update: Now have had this car for almost a year and have 6500 miles on her. Still the best new car I have had in over 50-years of driving. Very comfortable and reliable. Update: After a year and a half and 13,000 miles, still very happy with the vehicle. Only concerns are two recalls for electronics that Subaru never notified me of. I have implemented the first, but have yet to do the second. Gas mileage is dropping, but this is winter. Map updates have been done, but complicated, causing the infotainment center to go blank at critical times on the highway. After 2-years ownership, I can share that I have had multiple experiences with the infotainment center collapsing during driving and automatically resetting after about 3-4 minutes. There was a recall to fix that, but the fix didn't fix the problem. I also have another recall for something involving the timing chain. I live over 50 miles from the dealership and they will not provide a loaner while checking the vehicle. If it needs parts, they will order them and then provide a loaner. Inconvenient. Otherwise, I do still like the vehicle.

Nice car with terrible MPG

I still consider my first Subaru Outback XT a good purchase. The big dissapointment, however, is its terrible gas usage. The sticker says 23/30 city/highway mpg and I'm getting an average of 18 after the first 1000 miles. Moreover, my 18 mpg is a combined city/highway result so it should rather be somewhere in the middle between 23 and 30. It's even worse than my15 years old Nissan Maxima 3.5L. Why Subaru is lying about that? Update: almost 3 years and 11k miles later the average mileage improved to 21.5mpg and that's probably it for this car. Not so good but that's the only bad thing about this car. I really like it!
