The Subaru Outback (Premium Trim with side mirror sensing technology and moonroof) is a very comfortable car. For a car its size it handles quite nicely. It has good acceleration and excellent breaking. The engine is quiet while driving and very quiet while idling, but it can be a little throaty when you accelerate. Until recently I had a Honda CRV which also has its good points. On balance, I like my Outback a little better. I think it is a little more comfortable. I like the Computer setup a little better overall as well. On the other hand, the mileage so far seems a bit on the lower side than advertised. So far, I am very pleased with my purchase. On the other hand, Subaru keeps bombarding me with Subaru propaganda. I'm not interested in love-I just want to go places.

I have a 2022 Outback Premium with 17,000 + miles on it. I LOVE the vehicle except recently I’ve had 3 situations where for no apparent reason the vehicle fails to start after 30 or so minutes of driving following 2 hours being parked. The last time this occurred, I had it towed to the nearest dealership, left it for four days and they did the usual battery analysis and found nothing wrong. After contacting “Subaru Customer Advocacy” it was suggested that I take it to ANOTHER dealership. This was also done with a finding that there was an upgrade that they were able to perform, but no assurance that it was a total fix. Doing additional research, I discovered that Subaru has a fix for the battery charging problem (Subaru BULLETIN 07-213-22R) but refused to implement that fix for me!

6th Subaru - Outback

I love Subaru, I really do...Until I purchased my 6th Subaru Outback. They have changed the driver's seat, it's now built more like a cockpit seat. Not all drivers are built the same, this seat is not built for all sizes of drivers. The driver's seat attempts to surround the driver's legs like a wedge, this causes pressure points in both the lateral part of the driver's leg as well as a pressure point under the leg on the hamstring. The pressure of the driver's bolster on the right side(driver's leg) creates an unnatural anatomic angle that can cause knee pain and at times a slower response time from gas to the brake. I just drove 955 miles from Michigan to Massachusetts, I had to make frequent stops just to get out of the vehicle and walk off the discomfort. Why are they putting sports car seats into a station wagon? I'm already dreading the drive back to Michigan. I'm seriously considering selling it.

Many user friendly features; both safety and convenience. Two big issues for me are: 1. Sporadic “run away” cruise control”. Dealership couldn’t replicate. Inferred that it was my driving. However this has recurred on nearly every highway trip longer than 50 miles. With cruise set@ 70, vehicle suddenly accelerates to 80+. 2. Battery completed died multiple times over the past two years. First time was day after bringing car home. Luckily it always died in my garage, but inconvenient as we were always trying to leave for an important event. Dealership did finally replace battery with a larger one. Interesting, however that while I was in customer service lounge for several hours during the time they were troubleshooting the problem & then replacing the battery, several other Subaru owners that I met while in the dealership service waiting area reported the exact same issue. Lastly, not really Subaru’s problem- but after driving on the freeway for any longer than 2 hours, my posterior thigh muscles become painfully cramped. I use the heated seat feature & self mass to obtain some relief.

Not too happy with my 2022 Outback Premium

Purchased my 2022 Outback Premium 1.5 years ago. Traded in my 2017 Outback Premium (what a mistake). Few things that I dislike about the 2022 edition: the infotainment touchscreen is very annoying (too large, too many functions that would be easier to use as physical controls, not intuitive, takes few steps to get where you need to go, malfunctioning, and quite frankly unsafe to play with when you drive). Engine (standard 2.5L) - not powerful enough.. interior finishing incl floor mats - feels cheap! We did not have any options back in 2022 (inventory was non-existent) and therefore got what was available at that time. I am really disappointed with decreasing quality of Subaru. My 2017 was by far more solid. I am so unhappy that I am considering switching back to Toyota, Honda or Mazda.
