2022 outback limited xt

2022 Subaru Outback Limited XT 4dr SUV AWD (2.4L 4cyl Turbo CVT)

I have had this 2022 Outback limited XTnow for about 1 1/2 yrs. After I made the 2023 software update to that crazy touch screen, now it is not to bad. But the back up camera is still to low on the display! You must find the firmware/software on the internet and do it! This is to large of an update for WiFi updates! The dealer or Subaru will not tell you about this, but if under warranty it is fee at the dealership. Bereave me get this update! I use this mainly for trips and use my 2021 Crosstrek for town driving. I get on a average about 26 MPG. So not great, but it has good power with the turbo. You must get use to the throttle response. Seats and ride are great. So far have not had any problems other than getting use to the touch screen! Bring back buttons. The voice command is a joke - just about useless. Nav is an outdated TomTom format. If you keep your maps updated it seems to be more accurate than my Garmin, I use both together on trips. Garmin is much easier to use. Yes I would recommend this Outback Limited XT if you have the latest firmware/software for the touch screen.

I am not a fan of bells and whistles so I turn most off. Too much can and does go wrong. Having worked with electronics for decades I am not fan of having it control everything in a car. I plan on getting 300,000 miles on our Outback. After the warranty runs out I will do my own maintenance. With the way Subaru engines are layed out it will be so much easier to do so. I can reach the most replaced parts. They are easy to get to without too much trouble. Had a 97 legacy wagon with over 300k before it gave up the ghost. Most reliable car we've ever had. Interior has solid looks and feel, appears well made, not cheap. Handles great in curves without too much body lean .Easy to drive 30+ highway/city and lots of room. We can actually get 3 people in the back seat.

Electronics ruin the car

Constant issues with the electronics on this car, facial recognition system that sets the seat and mirror position fails multiple times per day and moves the seat and mirror to a default position that you cannot adjust. Safety features regularity produce false alerts and fails entirely at least once a week. Main touch screen fails weekly at a minimum while driving. Dealership service department described these problems to me as known behaviour.

I bought 2022 Subaru Outback with 13 miles on it. Owned it a year. Was driving on pleasant spring day, 62 degrees outside, overcast ,going approximately 45 mph on 2 lane road. I live in desolate northwest Kansas. No other cars, no trees and sunroof exploded. I almost wrecked from the sound. I am told toe bumper to bumper warranty doesn't cover it. Now I have a huge hole in my roof. Glass just doesn't explode. I am in my 50's, Owned several vehicles. Some with sunroof. Never had this problem. I called Subaru of America. Got no where. Why the warranty if not going to honor it?
Quality control issues that dealer cannot fix

My 4th Subaru, 2nd Outback. Lost my faith completely in this Japanese brand. Brand new 2022, we owned it for 11 weeks and only drove for 2. Subaru dealer “tries” to fix it first and when cannot - returns saying can no longer reproduce. Issue is with the loud buzzing noise from the roof or pillar that is always there at 65 MPH+. Popping sound in the front suspension, this defect dealer cannot even hear even though when I rode twice with them they heard it both times. Subaru of America can’t care less, they sold every car they made before it is shipped, why worry about quality, just ship what you got. We should stop buying brand new cars and let the manufacturers feel that it is not ok to ship poor quality products.
