2017 Subaru Outback Touring / Limited Review Off Road Wagon In Depth Tutorial & How To

[@CubeShimmy]

BEST REVIEW OF SUBARU OUTBACK ON YOU TUBE EVER! so complex and professional! Awesome job! Be proud of yourself!

[@HowToCarGuy]

Thank you so much, my friend! I really appreciate your positive feedback and I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@voltairedizon5049]

great job explaining things about this car

[@yaelri1430]

This is one of the most comprehensive Subaru Outback preview video I've seen. Absolutely wonderful...keen to nitty-gritty details.

[@NorthwoodsNomad]

This is the best tutorial on the internet ! Thank you for the detailed information and simplified comprehensive instructions. You are so awesome 😎

[@lynnbaker2740]

This is a fantastic, informative review. I just bought a used 2017 Touring 4 weeks ago and this video gave me much more useful information then either the salesman or the owner's manual. Clear and concise comments. I've bookmarked this video so I can return often for help with the "finer points.."Thanks, Brock, this was really a helpful and informative video.

[@peterkinyua5399]

Best in-depth review ever!!! Kindly do another for 2018/2019 model

[@HowToCarGuy]

Thank you so much!

[@gbhrps]

Thank You! I just purchased this same car (used) and you have made my understanding of its systems so much easier to grasp than trying to work through the owner's manual, which is daunting.

[@BarakTheWonderer]

Wow. Thinking about purchasing this vehicle and I have watched many reviews, here on KZbin. This is by far the most detailed review on how to use the features of this vehicle. Very, very helpful! Thank you and well done!

[@HowToCarGuy]

I am so glad I was able to help you out! Thank you so much for the kind words and I hope you enjoy your Subaru! Brock

[@Peter-df1br]

Just ordered a 2018 Outback and I'm searching for reviews of the car's features. Even though your review was for a 2017, it was a pleasure to view with a cup of coffee. Very thorough. Awesome effort! Thanks

[@HowToCarGuy]

+Peter Morch WOW! Thank you so much for the kind words and positive feedback! I am so glad this helped you! Brock

[@josephwilber4129]

Great Video! I just bought a 2018 Outback limited 3.6R, and it's almost overwhelming when you open the glove box and see how thick all the books are lol. This vehicle has so many options

[@fubartotale3389]

All my owners manuals are dog eared and well used. It's worth it to understand all the systems and features.

[@colinfaulkner8959]

Just bought a used 2017 3.6 touring. This video was better than the dealership.

[@HowToCarGuy]

I’m glad it helped!

[@CarConfections]

UNBELIEVABLE amount of detail!! Great job as always!

[@HowToCarGuy]

+Car Confections Thank you so much!!!!

[@SubieandFriends]

Nice video, however it's not called radar cruise control, it's called adaptive cruise control, it uses the front eyesight cameras (not radar) to gauge the distance between you and the car in front of you,

[@cherismith5707]

Spectacular video. Now I know how to get started personalizing my new car when I get it tomorrow. 😊

[@debraburton3425]

Great video! Your detailed review is so helpful for this visual learner.

[@BradleyHorn]

I ordered my 17' Outback Touring on Aug 5th and received it on Oct 6th. Got the Brilliant Brown. My first Subaru and I love driving this car. When it is time to replace my 12' Malibu I will get another Subaru. Great video. As a note, the memory seat control only controls the seat. Not the mirrors. Yes, the interior color is awesome. Are you sure that the Lead Vehicle Monitoring isn't for when the vehicle in front of you moves and you don't? I know that it will chime and let you know that the vehicle in front of you has moved. I agree with you on the clock and temp. The thing I have noticed is that if you have sunglasses on trying to read the temp is nearly impossible. I wish they would have used a different color or something. Great Job!

[@khodorckovsky]

Great video! One correction, the four round sensors on the rear bumper are just the parking alert systems (beeps when you're close to an object). The sensors for rear cross traffic alert/assistance are behind the rear bumper cover on the corners.

[@Trinhthenhan58]

Wow! I like the way you review the car, very pro, much better than any sale man in Subaru dealer. Now I just take a drive test, but I am sure 99% to take 2017 Subaru Outback touring 2.5i. Thank you.

[@HowToCarGuy]

+NHAN TRINH Thank you! I am so glad I could help you!!! I hope you enjoy your Subaru!!!

[@scrantonguy]

Great job on the video. I've had my new Outback for exactly one month today. Subaru Eyesight is incredible! I need to get into more of the infotainment system, thanks for going over some of the settings.

[@HowToCarGuy]

AWESOME! You got a SWEET vehicle and I know you'll love it for a long time! I am so glad I was able to help you and thank you for the kind words! Brock

[@tantivymuckermaffikk]

Best review I've seen on the Outback, and I've seen a lot. Thanks so much.

[@HowToCarGuy]

+tantivymuckermaffikk Sweet!!! Thank you so much for the kind words and!!! Brock

[@hamish5702]

Having had earlier Outbacks our new one is awesome, great for our lifestyle,very economical. Here in New Zealand we own the most Subarus per head of population in the World as they fit into our outdoor lifestyle so well, highly recommended and best of all they are very good value for money.

[@HowToCarGuy]

+Hamish Kennedy Ok, now I'm ready to move to New Zealand, get a Subaru and get outdoors!!!!!

[@hhd6847]

Thank you for the in depth review, just made my decision harder between a Grand Cherokee or an Outback

[@HowToCarGuy]

Tee Hee! I am glad I could confuse you a little more :) Thanks for stopping by! Brock

[@BowmanOverland]

Hey... finally up my alley! Glad to see you're doing a Subaru. Great job as always Brock!

[@HowToCarGuy]

+westernprelude Can't believe I didn't see your comment before now!!!!! I'm sorry for the late response... Thank you for the positive feedback!!!! I'm trying to get my hands more Subaru vehicles. I love them! Brock

[@fubartotale3389]

Have a 2018 Outback 3.6R limited in midnight blue, my daughter has a 2018 Forester limited in that black, her husband has a 2018 Forester limited in grey. No issues, we love them, what car company is nailing it like Subaru right now? Toyota? Solid but boring, Honda? Not what they used to be, Subaru? Does everything well, best in foul weather, great to drive, comfortable, stable, reliable, it's no wonder they are kicking ass right now.

[@WatchTashi]

Thank you for a great presentation on this vehicle! We’re going to look at this model tomorrow and it’s priced to sell!

[@SubieandFriends]

I myself got the refreshed 2018 model, still this 2017 model is very nice

[@alain173]

Brock, great channel! I know you sell Lexus vehicles, and I own a 2009 ls460 AWD. I love the car but would like more convenience for daily chores (dogs, kids, hauling tools, etc). I've been intrigued by the new outback and just curious what you thought of the ride, cabin noise, comfort of this outback compared to say a slightly older Lexus like mine. Should it be out of line to consider trading my LS for a new outback? What is your opinion on the quality of these new outbacks? Thanks for your time.

[@HowToCarGuy]

+Alain S Excellent question! The LS460 is an amazing machine and there's nothing out there quite like it. But after driving the Outback for a week I can say, for your needs (more utility, convenience, kids, life... ) this would make total sense to get. The original video I made was over an hour long because I went into more detail about the cabin and overall build quality but KZbin wouldn't accept a vid over an hour 😞 Anyways, it is VERY comfortable, functional, rugged, and luxurious. I was super-impressed. Please let me know if you have any other questions and thank you for the feedback!! Brock

[@scottames3587]

Very nice comprehensive review.

[@HowToCarGuy]

+scott ames Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it and thanks for stopping by! Brock Frady

[@fangzhouyu6049]

LOVE this video so much, so helpful

[@willpeakes6000]

Awesome! very informative and articulated very well! Kudos****

[@darlaboyer5343]

Thank-you so much for putting this together! Saved me hours of headaches and made the car all the more wonderful! A couple of questions: 1. Is there a way to keep the car in accessory mode without the engine running? Sometimes I have to wait and it's nice to listen to the radio, keep the seat heated, or run wipers. 2. How can you keep the battery from going dead if you don't drive the car for a week at a time. Say you are backpacking and leave the car at the trailhead. Seems the fancy digital treats create ghost drain. It's happened on my 2017 more than once and I made sure there were no lights on. 3. Is there a way to get the temperature on the rear view mirror to make it easier to find?

[@danstonecool1734]

keep up the good work

[@GriffinCorpOne]

Great video, thanks for making it and going through all the settings. I've been looking at Subaru's for the first time. I plan to buy the 2018 model because of the addition of Apple CarPlay. This definitely is a well built car.

[@cchhiillaannggoo]

Im planning on buying this suv/wagon but im waiting for the 2018 touring to be on stock at my local dealer, really like the new dash with apple car play

[@bananana2624]

nice very detailed and thorough

[@robertwilliams9580]

Thanks, purchased this vehicle today. Very helpful!

[@HowToCarGuy]

+Robert Williams So cool! Man, you got an awesome vehicle! Love that Subaru! Brock

[@dexter20216]

So amazing and epic

[@markmelendez1029]

Great car, I would not go with the 2.5 / 4 cylinder. Car is way to heavy, glad to have purchased mine with the 3.6 / 6 cylinder. Shocked that the car did not have the automatic locking doors. My 5 year old open the door while we were in Motion. Had to get use to locking the doors every time we got in. The remote start is a separate 500$ key fob. Now 70,000 miles in, its burns 1 quart of oil every 1,200 miles.

[@josuedepaz4282]

At first I thought this video was too long, but I was wrong. Terrific video!! I just have one question: is there a way to manually open the tailgate?

[@HowToCarGuy]

+Josue De Paz Thank you!! Yes, there is a rubber piece that you can squeeze in to open the back. It should be located under or in the vicinity of the Subaru emblem.

[@josuedepaz4282]

Thanks

[@lexusguyws5305]

Good job, man!

[@HowToCarGuy]

+LexusGuyWS Thank you!!! I appreciate the feedback!

[@traviswhitson1161]

"HELLO, HELLO, HELLO, HELLO, HELLO." -Outback Headunit. Not dissing it though. The one in my 2011 Outback is cranky sometimes too.

[@SubieandFriends]

I always have my ac on even when I have the heater on!

[@smaxalina7501]

So helpful! Thank you!

[@HowToCarGuy]

Thank you so much! I am glad I was able to help! Thank you for stopping by!

[@geronimothegreywolf]

Thanks for the clip. My wife and I will buy a outlander

[@HowToCarGuy]

You're welcome! Glad I could help!

[@e.simons6964]

Just for your info...The Subaru "logo" is a design of a actual galaxy called the "Subaru" galaxy! There, you learned something today...

[@HowToCarGuy]

EXCELLENT! That's the kind of information that I LOVE to find out. I really do appreciate the contribution and have a great day! Brock

[@matthenderson9549]

Also known as the Seven Sisters, or Pleiades.

[@BryceandKyle]

Also not a galaxy. It's a star cluster which is in the Milky Way Galaxy. You can find it by looking to the right of Orion's belt or right of the Taurus constellation head which looks like a V.

[@michaelott310]

I'm actually going to buy this touring model tomorrow. 36k miles. But it has the 3.6R motor. Otherwise its the same colors and layout as this one. I LOVE the look of the coffee leather interior. The 3.6R motor has tons of power. I think the 4 cyl. works a bit too hard. This vehicle is 4800lbs. This is a GREAT video. Very helpful.

[@janoskovacs11]

Nice review! Thank you!

[@mickhofman]

Fantastic Review..

[@WVFreebyrd]

It's almost like they forgot the clock and at the last minute somebody said "Oh gosh, we need to put a clock in here".

[@robshell5367]

I had to laugh at your post. My wife has the 2017 touring model. I drive it maybe once a month. So I don't drive it enough to really get familiar with it. The first few times I drove it I would look and look for the clock. Then I would get mad and ask her if it had a clock. It really is dumb the way they did it. My Impreza has it right where you would expect it. Same goes for our past Subaru's. Other than that insignificant thing, the car is awesome. We will not own anything but a Subaru.

[@gobil5274]

Any particular reason they can't include remote start in the cars fob? Having 2 FOB is stupid. Car shutting off if the door opens? I love Subi's but those are a deal breaker.

[@MeMe-cd1wy]

Do you have any idea how long that cargo area from back hatch to front seats when back seats are put down? I want to buy a Subaru but want to make sure it is at least 77" from back of front seat to back door.

[@spiralnapkin]

"Super comfy" 😂

[@RainyRed]

I'm assuming this is a fully loaded package?

[@HowToCarGuy]

Absolutely. This is a loaded version.

[@donavinsilvera5682]

9:11 I have that on my 17 legacy 3.6r i love it 💖

[@jmarques130]

Any major issues with this car?

[@jamesocampo6815]

To anyone that’s watching this now, is it still worth it to get one now?

[@BobDarlington]

This is my exact config. I mostly love the car.

[@HowToCarGuy]

+Bob Darlington That's an awesome car you have!

[@zbynekcodykolacek]

Asking any Subaru owner, how is the Outback reliable? Japan quality or does need constant attention & repairs...?

[@caryllcamp2497]

Are the features the same in the Forester?

[@orenlevy702]

WHICH ENGINE OIL SHOULD i use?

[@bananana2624]

do the seat heaters back and front heat the bottom of the seat only or the seat backs too?

[@HowToCarGuy]

Great question. I think the bottom portion only is heated.

[@hamish5702]

Bana Nana the heaters head the back of the seats as well

[@Flatlanderhikes_]

Hey I know this is two years late, but it’s so bright because there is an led light underneath the mirror that you can’t see.

[@christianjimenez6004]

How about the annoying wind noise coming from the side driver window.

[@rollingthunder1681]

14:33

[@KhalidAlmasoud]

Thanks a lot for details👍

[@HowToCarGuy]

My pleasure!

[@oddities-whatnot]

Not sure why he goes through all the settings in such detail. Are owners not capable of working it out for themselves ??

[@HowToCarGuy]

According to the feedback on my other 700+ videos I'd say most find my detailed videos pretty helpful. Thanks for stopping by, my friend!

[@d4vidkondor]

Does it have apple car play?

[@thainguyen-jf5zu]

Luxury package

[@kasi5367]

Good

[@HowToCarGuy]

Thank you so much!

[@mitch7850]

Japan’s Range Rover!

[@yeons4785]

can you give me a favor? that I want you to do is that you allow me which can use a subtitle on your video.Honestly, I am Korea and want to learn english from your video haha. Thank you in advance.

[@bahhaziz]

One hour...!!! life is short to spend one hour on one single KZbin video...

[@questionmark6204]

What's one hour to a life time?

[@deagaric4765]

Well he reviews the car in a systematic order, so you can just skim to the parts of the car you're interested in. The video is really helpful for someone who wants a full overview of all the features.
