Pretty good, but watch out

The Outback Premium is a pretty nice car. I especially like the soft suspension system and comfortable seats, as well as pretty good fuel economy and other nice features. I had a 2021 Outback which I sold when I bought this one. I thought the 2022 would have the same features as the previous one. The sales guy gave me that impression. However, it was missing some things like the upgraded rear view mirror. It came with the old fashioned "flip" mirror. I didn't realize this until I had bought the new car. It cost me about $440 to upgrade the mirror so that it had a compass, garage door opener, and automatic dimmer. Also, I was surprised to learn that I was required to purchase for around $500 a 5 year policy to guard against windshield damage. I don't want this coverage, but the dealer forced it on me. I wish the car had an oil life monitor, and there are some other software upgrades I wish they would do. This would include better connectivity to my cell phone without having to plug it in, and not having to go through a menu to adjust the seat heaters. Overall, I like the vehicle, but just saying...

I bought this Subaru Outback about four months ago after trading in my beloved but overdue Volvo S60. I came back to Subaru, especially the Subaru Outback because as a family, we enjoy the wonders of nature at our cottage; especially camping, hiking, kayaking, boating, swimming and etc. Prior to purchasing my Volvo, I had two prior Subaru’s, a Legacy and an Outback. The Subaru Outback delivered everything I remembered in Subaru, and much more. My wife, the girls, our Labrador, and myself feel safe exploring nature together with the symmetrical AWD, high ground clearance, and fantastic cargo space. My family and I give Subaru an excellent 10/10.

I’ve had it for 5 days so far and love it! I purchase the black exterior/black interior with moonroof, nav, auto rear gate. It drives smooth and is roomy. Not a deal breaker but there isn’t an arm rest while I’m driving, the center console is too low, if that makes sense. It doesn’t get up to speed on the freeway super fast but it’s better than my Tahoe. I still give it 5 stars.

Mine has been pretty good. No issues except the car likes to head toward the center lane line. Did not really bother me but never used the steering assist button. Always fighting you as you drive to correct where you are in your lane. Wife was driving and I was in the back seat and she kinda was making me sick because she was always turning away from the center lane toward the right. We were trying to figure out what was causing this with the driver steering assist off. Finally , I disabled the lane departure feature and she drove it today and said it was fixed. I never really thought about that it was doing this but my wife thought it was me forgetting how to drive. She said she will not drive this car because of how she always had to correct the steering wheel away from the center line. Now she likes it. The light is on the dash all the time but it drives right now. It always seemed to follow the lane even with the steering assist off. Now it is right.
