All items listed below, plus... Occasional non-recurring chimes with no explanation. When backing while looking over my shoulder, the car chimes. I take my eyes off the mirrors and rear, look at the screen, and it says, "Watch surroundings while backing," Also, have to be very precise on how you touch the screen. Sometimes it will beep but not change screens. Seems to be a delay in bringing up some screens. Some car washes I can't go through because the car senses the brushes as a hazard and applies brakes. Driver Monitoring System. Automatic shutoff. Automatic Rear Braking. Safe Driving Agreement. Wimpy engine. Driver Monitoring -- whenever I scratch/rub my eyes it chimes. Automatic Rear Braking creates a violent stop when I back out of my light-colored driveway onto the darker asphalt of the street. Engine sounds like a lawnmower when I accelerate from 45 mph to 65 mph on a gentle slope.

2024 Subaru Outback Wilderness 4dr SUV AWD (2.4L 4cyl Turbo CVT)

I had a 2023 Crosstrek. I loved that car. I had roughly 21,000 miles on it. I had stopped by Subaru just to look at the 2024 Outback Wilderness. I test drove it and that’s all it took. The turbo engine is excellent.. Great power. The ride is a lot nicer since being a bigger vehicle from the Crosstrek.. I like having heated seats in front and rear heated steering wheel. Air vents for the rear passenger.. The sound system is excellent. Great sound. The gas mileage at first was not what i expected but once i got about 3,000 miles and engine is broke in. I am getting what the windows sticker says and a little bit more.. Love my Subaru Outback Wilderness..

Subaru customer appreciation

2024 Subaru Outback Limited XT 4dr SUV AWD (2.4L 4cyl Turbo CVT)
19 of 26 people found this review helpful
Purchased a new 2024 Outback Limited XT 8 May 2924. Car stayed in my garage (unable to drive) due to all safety lights displaced, than in Shop three days. No loaner nor rental offered. Was given a $350 voucher to be used within one month for parts and service. Car covered under new warranty, making the voucher useless. Asked the customer service advocate if I could elevate the case and told I had elevated it as high as I could. Sent email to Subaru of America sales manager on this subject, but as I had determined not even an acknowledgment of email. Buyers do your homework prior to buying.

Engine hesitation was bad at every stop and go Sputtering. Haven’t even practiced on my computer control yet. It had about 20 miles on it and now it goes back to the dealer,,

Just What I Needed!

The Outback in its Wilderness trim is a great vehicle for me. I do some camping and riding around on forest roads and desert dirt roads as well as daily commuting. This SUV fits the bill. It has a great ride around town and its X-Mode is more than capable off road. I do wish it came with more sturdy tires but when these are in need of replacement I will find some kevlar-belted ones. Not having bought a new vehicle in 12 years, the technology in the Outback was both impressive and somewhat intimidating at first. The Turbo is the way to go on the Subaru lineup it provides the necessary power to handle passing on the freeway as well as hills. I do love it!
