Great review. This or the Onyx XT would be the trim level I would consider. I am hoping the 2026 OBW will come with a 360 degree camera system!

[@703Speed]

I like the Onyx XT too! The 26' definitely needs a 360 camera system

[@GaryTBuffalo24]

I've always been indifferent to Subaru's but they have really stepped up their game. Nice looking car and great review.

[@703Speed]

Agreed

[@michaelgrow8630]

Nice looking vehicle. Presentation was totally understandable. Thumbs up. Peace bro.

[@703Speed]

Thank you for the continued support Michael

Refresh on the grill was in 2024.

[@AntilleanConfederation]

Yup. My 24 was built 05-24 I’m guessing I got the last of that production run.

[@703Speed]

Yes, front grille and fascia and rear fascia. I’m thinking they need to update the lights (even tho they look good) and tech w/360 camera system and maybe parking sensors too

[@peepeechowmein-vh5uy]

just test drove , super car

[@bkstarkey]

Time for a refresh? Best thing they did was refresh the rear end of their cars a couple years back. Please. No. Those taillights make it look so much better.

[@703Speed]

These taillights do look great

[@Sticks1680]

Hey genius. Its not a 25

[@avyua]

forester is better... it has 360 camera

[@703Speed]

The new one does, yes

[@timflaherty2731]

Why are you yelling and talking in a used car salesman voice? Just talk calmly and project confidence.

[@In-obscurity-n7j]

I don't think he needs your advice. If you don't care for his style go elsewhere. Better yet start you own chanal so you can show him how it's done. Or better yet open up a reviewer School. You can teach your impressive skills to everybody.

Picking up my 2024 OBW tomorrow! Can’t wait to get rid of this 4Runner 😂

[@703Speed]

What year is the 4Runner and what do you not like about it?

[@dbunch904]

@@703Speed2024 TRD Pro. Although it is a great reliable vehicle and amazing off road, it’s just miserable to drive on road. It’s heavy, boxy, slow, and catches all of the wind here in South Dakota. The OBW is already light years more enjoyable.

[@703Speed]

@@dbunch904 Have you picked up the OBW?

[@dbunch904]

@@703Speedyep! Picked it up yesterday. And it actually ended up being a 2025, although there is no difference between it and the 2024.

[@703Speed]

@@dbunch904 Correct

[@heiser_bill]

The plastic cladding all over gets a lot of hate, but IMO it looks appropriate for the intended use of the Wilderness model.

[@rlathamable]

Very comprehensive and helpful review. Considering an Outback this presentation may have sold me !

[@jameswalsh6131]

Great review Kenny! I have never really looked too hard at a Subie before and I really do like this car with this trim. For sure would have to have a sunroof though. Excellent job as always and hope that you are doing great!

[@703Speed]

Definitely need a sunroof. Hope you are doing well as well

[@tanyashaw8048]

Can't wait to drive this beauty myself❤❤

[@Aschoolbusandsimulatorfan2219]

Terrific job & I would rather buy this vehicle.

[@703Speed]

Did you change your profile pic bro?

[@lewisvang1927]

waiting for the hybrid.....

[@setoman1]

Whoa whoa whoa! You skipped a VERY important point. You cannot turn off the auto start/stop permanently. Big deal to some people.

[@11Bravo84]

I have a 2025 wilderness outback in yes you can turn off the auto stop start

[@setoman1]

@@11Bravo84 No, you can’t. You can only temporarily pause it.

[@11Bravo84]

@@setoman1 you’re right, you have to push a little button every time you start it on the screen. I can live with that.

[@kyleecarroll]

@@setoman1 That I am aware of, there is literally no auto start/stop offered by anyone that can be permanently disabled. You can only temporarily disable. At least not from the factory.

[@lynchcreekmuzzy5759]

If you are wanting a Turbo Outback...then easy choice. BUT if you want 2.5L, then Forester is Best option. The 2025 Forester removed the potential big problem with TCV valve.

[@In-obscurity-n7j]

Nice look at the outback. If I didn't know something about it, I do now. 😎

[@703Speed]

🙏

[@lukiw7044]

I would use it in light off road, becouse it's AWD Subaru. Great review. Greetings

[@In-obscurity-n7j]

Nice look at the outback. If I didn't know something about it, I do now. 😎

[@kerplunk38880]

Turbo + CVT = NO. These are going to be expensive when they break. And they will break. The CVT's aren't really repairable and they are from $11,000 - $13,000 to replace.

[@HoboJimsGravyTrain]

The cvt in this is the one that drives the ascent around, it's chain driven and built to work a lot harder than it will have to in an outback. Importantly the outback weighs 700 pounds less.

[@kerplunk38880]

@@HoboJimsGravyTrain And it is still an unreliable CVT created only to increase the profit margin for automakers

[@hollybirge4087]

I have a geyser blue Crosstrek Wilderness. Wilderness is the best trim, and geyser blue is the best color

[@703Speed]

Geyser blue just works very well with the Wilderness trim levels

[@Thebusdriverandgamermorefan790]

Fantastic job Kenny.

[@703Speed]

Thanks man

[@ИгорьЛаншаков-к3л]

Как всегда интересный и очень подробный ролик. Спасибо!

[@setoman1]

What? The Wilderness has WORSE handling? I’ve owned an Outback Touring XT and it handled like absolute trash. Wilderness should be better with the stiffer suspension.

[@703Speed]

Wilderness is built for off road, not handling. The other Outbacks (IMO) handle better on road

[@setoman1]

@@703Speed Hmm. If you say so. I will test drive one this weekend. I’m hoping that we differ in our idea of what “better” means. Because I really want one!

[@setoman1]

@@703Speed I test drove it. I think your conclusion is correct, but I want to add another angle (pun intended) to the topic. Despite leaning over more, I feel like it can make sharper turns without losing traction at the front end. I feel less comfortable, but more confident taking corners, if that makes any sense.

[@Zanderthelab]

What about remote start??
