"better than what you'd find in a Ford product"...that comment made me smile:)

[@Theonestrongbusleader]

Two years ago today! Planning to buy one.

[@Account-kx5vr]

Love mine. Extremely comfortable and powerful.

[@m3rdpwr]

They're not too far from me. May have to take a trip out there to look in order a 2023.

[@sl5932]

first review I have seen that said the backseat can't comfortably fit 3 adults. Appreciate the reviewer's honesty!!!!

[@kelzrem]

I’ve been watching everything I can about the Outback. This is one of my favorite. Much appreciated. Good job.

[@tree356]

I’m 6’10” and I literally fit in back seat NO PROBLEM!👍🏼

[@MisterMister5893]

You could probably drive the car FROM the back seat. +++

[@raymondluk8027]

Impressive presentation with passion!

[@derrickpetitfils742]

Excellent! Great presentation and clarity.

[@terrysmith3141]

Great review….Certainly you have convinced me to go to my local Subaru dealer and hopefully get to test drive. I am a little concerned about the engine size. Wish it came in a six cylinder.

[@justinsmith1831]

2019 was the last year you can get Subaru Outback with the 3.6R engine in 2020 this new 2.4 liter Turbo engine replaced the 3.6R. Because it has more horsepower and gets better gas mileage the EPA is really pushing everyone to get rid of V6's and V8's. 🤦😞

[@cliffordb47]

You got to ask yourself one very very important question? Why do so many Subaru owners keep on buying Subaru's? I've had three of them I currently own a 2018 Subaru outback touring, I love that they're not overly complicated and the way they drive in the reliability factor. Sure there are things that Subaru does to improve the model but it doesn't need much tweaking tiny little things here or there and talk about hold their value buy one and you will be hooked guaranteed

[@heatherp4504]

I have a 2013 I’m debating between an ascent or a newer outback for my next car

[@mr.d7429]

If you don’t need all that space go with the Outback, the ascent feels sluggish and heavy for that engine, it’s a really heavy car!

[@MN801UT]

Just traded my 2019 Ascent Touring for a 2022 Outback Touring. You lose a couple features but most are there with better gas mileage, handling and quicker acceleration.

[@SugarbugsBowlingVideos]

Can you look out the Outback Basic model

[@kentowett1719]

I want to order this subaru 2021...

[@1954patrizio]

Is the automatic emergency rear braking standard on all of the 2021 Outback models now? Or do I have to go above a premium level option.

[@justinsmith1831]

I believe the emergency rear braking system is available on the Limited and above trims only but I could be wrong.

[@BarikSingh]

Is the only difference between the 2020 and 2021 Subaru Outback Touring XTs the rear seat reminder function/passenger seat belt notification? Or since that is a software feature, is that now on the 2020s as well with a software/firmware update?

[@BostonAutoBlog]

The two differences from last year is the rear seat reminder and steering responsive headlights coming standard. I'd have to do some digging on if you can get a software update for the 2020 model year for that rear seat reminder.

[@BarikSingh]

Boston Auto Blog If you could check on that rear seat reminder via a software update and get back to me it would be much appreciated. Definitely in the market for a new Outback and would like to know whether to go for a 2020 or 2021 thanks

[@Snoopylvr88]

I saw that the Onyx XT get a dual X mode. And the Touring XT doesn't. Is that an issue?

[@RobPetty622]

Onyx is the more rugged version. Touring, as the name might indicate, is the highest level of luxury in the line up.

[@Snoopylvr88]

@@RobPetty622 I wish you can have rugged and luxury in one car :)

[@davidaguiar1387]

No, the second X more is basically Xmode with traction control turned off. I've been through sloppy ice/snow and never even enacted X mode at all. second X mode is mostly hype. As for rugged. They are the 99% the same cars. Onyx just looks more rugged. Onyx lacks most of the upgrades you get past the Premium model ( Look at the brochure)

[@MrBkastl]

@@davidaguiar1387 Driving Sports TV does great reviews on various AWD systems. While you or most people, might not need Xmode or Xmode 2, it doesn't appear to be "hype". kzbin.info/www/bejne/bIaXiH-ZZ7tggq8

[@pault477]

How is the ride - quiet?

[@sennis1361]

New subscriber. Enjoyed your video Did I see dual exhaust have returned? Disappointed Subaru still has old fashion incandescent front and rear turn signals. Tell them their cars need LED upgrades there too.

[@sdbszz706]

Good review dude, keep it ip

[@scaldon2]

I'm hearing the 2022 subaru forester will have a mid cycle upgrade . Do you think they'll add wireless carplay, wirless phone charging and nappa leather?

[@BostonAutoBlog]

I think the likelihood of wireless CarPlay is high based off what we’re seeing industry-wide. I think they could integrate a wireless phone charging pad as well. Not sure if we’ll see nappa leather, but I fully expect the StarTex water resistant fabric to be offered for 2022 with the sport trim

[@lishi216]

@@BostonAutoBlog i prefer water resistant fabric

[@nastawi1]

Will the turbo engine be again offered in the 2022 Forester?? I'm trying to maintain hope.

[@araaramakima]

Almost bought this car premiere xt but free testing the infotainment system I had to cancel the deal. Although it has an 11.6 inch display, the system is laggy and it doesn’t take the full screen when backing up. Also, if you’re an android user, the screen space is very small and uses only 40%. Those are the reasons why i went somewhere else .

[@JosephDowski]

I believe this has since been addressed with a software update.

[@subaruofwakefield6219]

Great Video. Thank you

[@juliodominguez4750]

Excellent review!! Good job, great black Outback

[@mannalyse88]

Liked it, but too much love for the Forester spoken all through out.

[@mapi576]

It'll be more awesome, if the front and rear cameras, has a record feature, as well. Including, a sentry component, as the Tesla models.

[@MrChadder007]

I’ve seen so many new ones with the roof rails warping.

[@10MMsocketfinder]

My 2020 XT Touring is doing the same thing. Wish it came with the two X mode like the Onyx.

[@MisterMister5893]

What kind of warping? Can you elaborate? Since they are integrated, it would be a pain to replace.

[@erikhord458]

You said no major changes after the minor face lift that Subaru made last year??? Dude it was a total model overhaul in 2020??????

[@BostonAutoBlog]

Strictly talking about the exterior not much changed from the 5th - 6th generation except for a facelift and more aggressive plastic cladding. Not even the dimensions changed that much. Even by switching over to Subaru’s global platform, all the changes were internal and for the interior. To call it a complete overhaul is a big stretch.

[@jackrandom4893]

Ca you permanently disabled automatic off at stop lights?

[@RobPetty622]

No, but if you only step on the brake pedal lightly, as opposed to all the way down, it will not shut off.

[@jackrandom4893]

@@RobPetty622 Do you own one? I'm hearing that there are head unit issues.

[@RobPetty622]

@@jackrandom4893 Not yet. Likely sometime next year. I have researched it endlessly and test drove both the turbo and non turbo models. Regarding head units, I understand that there has been some displeasure about certain features being buried more than some like, for example, the seat heaters, as well as the start/stop turn off.

[@jackrandom4893]

@@RobPetty622 Gotcha. I have a 2018 Outback. I was curious about the new one. It looks awesome

[@davidaguiar1387]

Yes, but only if you add a $85 aftermarket device made especially for this car. Personally, I've found it smooths right out and barely becomes noticeable.

[@MrSlicer2424]

I have a 2014 im ready to trade in but I'm thinking all that beeping might be a deal breaker. Can it be turned off?

[@VMelndz]

Barely.

[@jasonschmoyer4913]

Yes. I turn off the Lane assist for local, country roads and only use for highway driving. You can have Lane Assist on, but disable the beeps.

[@pepper13111]

You do not hear after a week.

[@WahotsW]

My family has a 2017, and they can be turned off. I am curious if they fixed the EyeSight bug from the 2019 Crosstrek where the car would suddenly start rolling if it came to a full stop. The 2017 will come to a complete stop while still in it's semi-autonomous mode, then start back up when the vehicle in front of it starts driving again.

[@gtguy1736]

Nice Review. I hear that Subaru of Wakefield is a great place to buy a new or used Subaru.

[@kentowett1719]

[@jamo2006]

Great reviews - I believe they would be even better if you simply did 2 things: slow down your speech a little bit - like 5-7% - and stop smashing groups of words together. Thanks for the good content!

[@khecke]

I really do not see any difference to my 2020 Subaru Outback Touring XT.
