Subaru Outback Wilderness: 1 Year Ownership Review

[@jimf.625]

We’ve had our 2023 OLW approaching a year now. We always had trucks and SUVs and this was our first Subaru and we are completely satisfied with everything about the vehicle.

[@korling99]

I have a 2023. I’ve had it for almost 4 months. I’m very happy with it. I am very surprised how much I like Eyesight. I also have a manual trans 2017 Forester. Sadly, manuals are going away, but the turbo CVT seems waaay better than past CVTs. I would definitely buy it again.

I have a 2023 Outback Touring XT and hated the piano black around the shifter area. Fingerprints were a constant annoyance. I went to Amazon and put 2023 Subaru Outback carbon fiber accessories. I purchased a carbon fiber (fake of course) attachment that covers and fits perfectly over that area. No more fingerprints. It will fit all Subaru Outbacks from 2020 onward. I believe I paid around $23.00 which included shipping.

Bought my Geyser Blue ' 22 OBW in July 2021 and I absolutely love it. It was the first one available at my local dealer. I've got almost 12k miles on it and it's on the 3rd oil change. First one was done by me at 2k. I do 4-5k changes. I rotated tires using the spare (per owners manual). Once the spare was on for a bit the TPMS light went on for that one. Had to take spare off and back into the car. So when rotating tires don't include spare.

My 2022 outback wilderness has 70000 miles. No problems geo tires 62000 if rotated.

[@TrailPass]

Wow that's impressive!

[@robfrasier9412]

We got a 2024 2 months ago. Coming from a 2020 Rubicon. So far so good. My only complaint is the MPG, which is averaging 20😮 I live in the hills.

[@brownnzenn]

I like that they use fake leather. Using fake leather means no animal was harmed

[@aliyaqub4505]

just shut up...

[@jamesrobinson3663]

Thousands of animals and humans are harmed when micro plastics from synthetic “leather” seat covers are discarded into the environment. Leather completely decomposes and returns back into useful elements.

Excellant deal for an Outback... Well done.... Super safe, well built family car... With industry best AWD and CVT..

[@tacticalwarriorviking5089]

The AC button on the bottom row, I do believe you can swap the button to MAX AC if you were so inclined. also, I think Compressive Tuning and other companies make a thing to go on top of the intercooler to keep some of that debris out.

[@zachsummers3321]

Love my 22 impreza had it for a little over 1 and a half years. Put already 41,000 miles on it.

[@TrailPass]

That's some serious driving!

[@wazakiYEAH]

Ashamed we don't get this thing in Australia. I really want to buy this than a typical 4WD car.

[@michaelstarr1285]

I hate these vehicle prices. I ended up getting a base 28k . I would have loved a xt but im not paying 45 k . Things i like most are the head lights work terrific. The ride is nice but without the turbo it is slow but gets you where you need to go. The eyesight blows it goes out in moderate rain when you need it most the front needs a little more space under infotainment screen. The only thing i miss on the base model is blind spot monitoring. If money is not a problem go for all the bells and whistles. If you hate spending money on a car go for a base it gives you everything you need.

[@Monkeyseemonkey79]

They are selling for $35k used with only 5k miles on them.

[@MountainDan]

Great video but Whoah… my ‘24 does not have the AVH button on the Home Screen like that… and I’d do just about anything to get it down there 😣 So frustrating that it doesn’t just remember

[@TrailPass]

That's really weird! You may ask your dealer if there is an update for tl yours, though I would've thought your 24 would be up to date already.

[@dennytrulane6639]

I’m pretty sure you can move any button to the Home Screen.

[@jimbrown7261]

I’ve had my ‘24 for two months, I would also love to have my hold button there! I was told I couldn’t add any buttons to the lower part of the screen. The big button on the screen was on page one but after two days it ended up back on page two of the main screen. Very disappointing.

[@sjs1555]

Does it require premium fuel?

[@grzegorzlecki3139]

sounds like OVERALL you are happy with it.

[@TrailPass]

Definitely!

[@CovenantTrainingGroup]

How’s your plastic cladding around the vehicle? I have a ‘23 and it scratches so easily it’s annoying.

[@TrailPass]

Some light scratches but nothing bad yet. That's even with going through car washedls occasionally

[@seancordasco7595]

The update for the vehicle hold on the screen how did u do that?

[@TrailPass]

We asked the service department at our local dealership and they installed it for us.

[@ChristianGastelum-t6n]

He cute❤

[@thedarkking9705]

So “overall” it’s a good vehicle! 😂

[@RyanJohnson-ft6qi]

Oh well

[@lvvelili]

Hi. Are you interested in car accessories? Thanks😊

[@lowery02]

There’s room to face the 1yo’s seat properly

[@TrailPass]

He's approaching a year and a half now and meets the height requirement for front facing. That's what we were recommended to do since he is so big, but you're right, plenty of room for rear facing too. Thanks for your concern.

[@andreikravchenko8250]

hate these touch screens, annoying.

[@rhymeskill]

This car is incredible. I just got one. I live the black cladding and interior. Get a lot of compliments on it. 🤌🏼
