It would be nice to have at the least a good stereo system. When I ordered my outback wilderness I said I wanted premium sound . They told me it's not available. I said that's a deal breaker. They came back with we can do an aftermarket Rockford Fosgate speakers and Amp. So I ordered and received my 22 outback wilderness and gues what? They couldn't upgrade anything. So now I listen to what sounds like a transistor radio from the 60s.
@OBWAdventures7 ай бұрын
There are some options buried in the system that really help. I don't remember off the top of my head where they are but there are other videos describing them. Definitely makes a bid difference. I'm happy with the audio quality at this point. It would be better to have premium options but you can make it good, if not great.

I'm not sure what specific models fit but I've seen plenty of them on Instagram with tents mounted. I think you'll be fine with any in terms of weight. I'd just compare the footprint of the tent floor with the width and length of your roof (without obstructing the windshield, the rear hatch in the open position, and however far you want it hang over the sides of the car).

Feature will disappear and not come back until you shut off the car.

23 OBW owner here and my second Subaru. Before I bought my OBW, I bought a 2012 Impreza wagon at 11k miles back in 2013 and drove it till 2023 when I sold it (210k miles) to buy my OBW. I have not ran into any CVT issues at all. Took it to my local Subaru dealer and everything including fluids and maintenance are done by them. It has been super reliable with no issues at all. I don't understand the CVT problem, but maybe I was the lucky one or I just kept up with maintenance.

I just followed up with the regular routine when it needs to be change. Before I sold it, it's still feels like day 1 with no issues. Hope this helps out.
