I purchased the 2021 Touring XT in March as one of my must haves was Ventilated seats living in a desert Climate and this was the only trim with that option. 8,000 miles so far and I couldn’t be happier with the car .. I have even learnt to cope with the CVT fake shifts when making progress by switching to Manual mode. The infotainment system can sometimes be a bit laggy. I use voice controls to adjust the HVAC settings and love the STARLINK remote start with aircon controls to cool / heat the vehicle . The 2.4 L turbo engine is a must for driving pleasure IMHO..

The Ascent was to be my spouse's vehicle and my spouse passed away 3 days after we took delivery.

Hi Ron, as far as I know, the Outback is only produced at the North American plant. If you're curious, you can check the inside of the door jam and it will show you where it was produced. Should say SIA which is in Lafayette, IN. The Onyx doesn't come with nav or the extended driver's seat. mileage monitor will be located in the center between the speedometer and tachometer. It does however have nav capabilities through Apple CarPlay/Android auto. Here's a video I made recently on this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqWsanqMnZqapdk

It’s hard to see into but I think I see maybe 5 pins. What is this for? Any chance it could be used to power a dash cam? If Subaru sold one, I’d buy it. Or better yet, add that functionality to Eyesight and let me add an SD card for storage. Any thought you might have about this appreciated. Thanks Steve

I totally agree that the Onyx XT is the sweet spot in the lineup because there aren't any 'gotta have it' features offered in the trims above it, which makes it the best value in the outback lineup, in my opinion. I've been cross shopping the Forester Wilderness and the Outback Onyx XT for a while, leaning toward the Forester because of its compact footprint and excellent capability. However, given the fantastic 2.4 turbo engine and the relatively modest $3000 price premium over the Forster Wilderness, the Onyx XT keeps calling me.

First I'd start by looking at your interior. Do you have leather or cloth? Cloth with heated seats = Premium trim. Cloth without heated seats = base trim. Leather interior could be the Limited or Touring. If you have ventilated a/c seats, it's a Touring. If not, it's a Limited. Hope this helps!

Hey, Alex (and other Onyx owners). Do you know anything about this? I have a '21 Onyx Edition and the owner's manual says that if you have a full sized spare (which the Onyx does), then you should incorporate it into a tire rotation (5-tire rotation). My dealership refused to do this on my first free oil change. They tried charging me $100 to do it. They said that to do this, you have to reprogram the BCU each time, which costs them $ to do since they need to hook up a laptop, upload the BCU's data, and reprogram the tire sensors. Not reprogramming the BCU will cause the TPMS light to stay on at all times (or keep coming on if cleared) and the reprogramming is due to the spare tire having a "temporary" TPMS sensor in it (which I've never heard of). Before the Texas winter storms hit last winter, I got a nail in one of my tires and had to swap to the spare because (it turned out) the dealership couldn't get me a new tire until the storm passed. (They kept closing early and then shut down completely during the storm, which is somehow ironic to me for a Subaru dealership... this was even before the power grid issues). Yes, I had the TPMS light come on after the swap, but I was able to use a $99 OBD scanner (Bluedriver) tool to reset the TPMS system and it then worked fine for an entire week and a half until I got the tire replaced. So, any idea if my dealership is full of BS? The car manual says to do a 5 tire rotation and I seem to easily be able to reset the TPMS system in about 10 minutes max. Why are they trying to charge me $100? (I argued with them about it and they eventually did it for free alongside my free maintenance, but it was "[that] time only.") I'm planning to just rotate my own tires now and have them do the free maintenance, but specifically tell them not to touch the tires. I just feel like $100 just to pull a tire out of the trunk is ridiculous because I don't believe the whole reprogramming claim or the "temporary" sensor claim.

Very interesting! I’m looking at the Onyx because of that extra tire! Thanks for the info!

The electronic parking brake will also release if you’re in gear and press the gas pedal. I have a base 2021 Legacy and prefer the dual screens. It’s less distracting and seems more reliable. Can you do a video on the Legacy’s?

Greetings, I want to buy one here in Spain, around here the models are called: Trek, Field and Touring. My question is if in addition to heating in the seats does it have ventilation? or just heating? In Spain it is hot hot in summer and I want to know if I will have a cold back. Thanks for your channel, greetings from the Pyrenees
