“Sampling the Latest Automotive Delicacies!”

[@voices012]

Just ordered my 2022 Touring XT…waiting impatiently for its arrival. The Touring’s 53 db cabin you measured for the 2021 model is what completely sold us. We love that you measure the sound. Thank you!

[@johnnielewis5221]

I have had an Outback in every generation normally trade them between 150 and 175000 miles so far I have been pleased with all of them, and I highly recommend them for anyone who deals with States and any kind of bad weather. On my latest Outback I have put on Michelin crossclimate tires what a terrific upgrade on snow, ice, heavy rain. If you don't need a big bulky SUV the Outback is a terrific choice.

[@johnroberthanna1623]

heading into my 4th Outback in a row. 2006 XT 153,000 sMiles .. 2015 Premium 133,000 sMiles .. 2018 Premium 153,000 sMiles .. 2022 Limited *inbound* in 10 days.

Subaru really a class operation - wife drives a Forester & she loves it. Outback is a great value & if kept serviced will just roll forever. Great review, guys - thanks! 😎

[@namvet1968]

Is reliability excellent?

[@phxdesert4464]

Turbo's are finicky especially in cold weather, make sure to give them a couple minutes "warm up" before driving, as it's hard on the seals etc when there isn't sufficient time for a warm up. Also idle it for a couple minutes before turning the car off, just saying. I try to stay away from turbo's if at all possible.

[@willjones6400]

My wife and I have a 2020 outback onyx xt and we love it

[@MrSeppo]

Yeah, I've ordered new Outback Touring 2021 2.5 and here in Finland it costs little bit more than 51 thousands euros and can't buy with turbo. I'm waiting it so much, will got it in August. It will be my seventh Subaru and second Outback. One Mercedes interrupted my 32-year journey on the Subaru but soon the journey continues.

[@williamkings7976]

It is a nice car indeed!

[@namvet1968]

That is one hell of an endorsement! Is reliability what impresses you? Thanks from US.

[@MrSeppo]

@@namvet1968 Yes, absolutely, reliability means a lot. You can’t have a car so fast that someone else wouldn’t be faster. You can’t have a car so beautiful that someone else wouldn’t be more beautiful. And I buy the car for myself for the purpose for which I need the car, not for any competition.

[@Intrepid175a]

@@MrSeppo - I totally agree with that!!

[@dannyalex1598]

Looks cool!!

[@delmusdugan]

Does any of the trim options come with a full spare ?

[@dan339g]

These are quite popular in the Northeast, and now I see why. Seems like a great value, and nice tweener vehicle for those that want the SUV aesthetic and capability in a more manageable size. They historically have been very reliable, although the CVT gives me pause.

[@colechapman6976]

I am from New Jersey and go to Westchester NY and Upstate NY quite often. Any street you visit, there will probably be a Subaru. They are very popular because they offer AWD standard, good ground clearance, and are more utilitarian than lots of fancy SUVs which is what people in the northeast generally like. Lots of cars also don't offer AWD on base trims, but Subaru does, which is another reason for their popularity here. The northeast is in a Snowbelt region so cars with good ground clearance and AWD are necessary for tackling blizzards and intense summer storms

[@brandon6541]

[@MrShanester77]

It would be nice if Subaru eliminated the CVT on top tier models and went with a 10 speed transmission--- at least have an option for that.

[@darylhill9400]

They have too much time invested with the CVT to do that, It’s an evolutionary product,

[@jamespostle6894]

well they put a manual into the crosstrek maybe they will do the same for the ob.

[@EYUK1]

I will consider Subaru in my next vehicle purchase if they offer 6 cylinder NA engine and 8/10 speed Aisin transmission.

[@Intrepid175a]

@@jamespostle6894 - they took the manual out of the Outback in 2015. I was disappointed too but as I recall, the reason stated was that they were selling less than 10% of their total Outback production with a stick shift. They're not going to offer certain features if "we" aren't going to buy them but if they did, I'd go for it in a heartbeat. 😞

[@stephenmuller5098]

Interesting how the wheel arch trim is different in your part of the world. I like yours better than what is on offer in Australia.

[@johanmarnfeldt5262]

We get the same ugly plastic wheel archers in Europe if that is of any comfort.

[@JimmyG3237]

My wife and I love the Outback, our next vehicle purchase will definitely be this one, we're just not sure which model, I definitely want the turbo. 👌😊

[@sl5932]

I have been driving the outback touring the past few days as a loaner. Very pleased with it for non highway driving. Since I do some highway driving I would only consider the XT engine.

is subaru outback an suv or wagon? is subaru outback a good car to buy?

[@bradcreber75]

You guys are great! And very familiar with the Subaru brand. Just bought a Subaru Outdoor. Sport for you in the States. Only in 6 months and 3000 kms my Startex seats are creased at the lower bolster and yellow stitch is loosened. They say at Subaru Canada it's a wear and tear issue. How can it be possible after only 3000kms, 5000kms or now 9000kms after just 1yr and 1month ownership, it's only getting worse and I won't be able to sell the damn car!! . It's plainly visible a manufacturer defect. Or Improper installation of the seat, My driver's seat. I take care getting in and out. I don't rub against the bolster. Subaru doesn't back up this Startex material. WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO BE MORE DURABLE THAN LEATHER! I'm going on every KZbin and Facebook and Instagram and Twitter pages plus Google to complain til replacement of seat. It's only $800 retail price. Stop being so cheap Subaru. Wished I bought Honda like I have last 20yrs

[@smallnuts2]

I would get one but I hate the auto shut off. I know you can turn it off but, everytime you get in it? Right now I have a 4runner. Love it but gas is bad for traveling.

[@we-are-all-one6433]

But does it have - distronic cruise control ?

[@ahbenjamin2889]

is that the black leather interior? Enjoy your videos very much.

[@CarConfections]

Thank you! And yes, that is the black leather interior option

[@saraaronzon4562]

Is it a full spare tire?

[@sumatralex250]

I can't help noticing it weird to label this as 2022 since there's a market where even the model with their "SGP" platform has yet to be released. I'd be a pro for its tastes for the interior design.

[@jayanson4618]

Just purchased a '22 Premium with Package 13. That includes blind spot monitoring, power tailgate, adaptive led lighting, welcome lighting package (light on side mirror illuminate when approaching the car). 2.5i engine. Push button start. Can activate remote Starlink service. Service is gratis for the first 3 years then a subscription needed but I feel it would worth it. Starlink allies you to remote start the car and adjust climate as well.

[@jamesgossweiler1349]

I have an Outback and I'm disappointed. The fit and finish isn't very good.
