1. 日本でもこのアウトバックに乗りたい人がそれなりにいると思うんですけど、なんで終売しちゃったんでしょうね。日本のメーカーなのに日本でこの車を所有出来ないことがとても残念です。

2. Physical buttons is not how a Subaru should be…. IT'S HOW ANY CAR SHOULD BE. Mazda went the opposite way in the great selling cx5. This Subaru is now a better option than that.

3. About average car deal in America today. Not as overpriced as most, but still a painful purchase, at $700 per mo for 6 years, and easily avoided unless disaster strikes.

   Will the boxers and the CVTs regularly make 200000mi if well maintained?

4. Daughter has 2018 Outback 2.4L. A few quirky notes: 1) Sparkplugs are a royal pain to change 2) CVT Fluid MUST be changed every 30-50K miles (“Lifetime” is BS) 3) you must have tires rotated every 5-6 miles and cannot have more than 3/32” deviation between tire tread 4) must change oil & filter before 5K. The plastic coolant crossover tube is UNDER intake manifold ?? Leaks sometimes under 100k.

5. Your Passport video gave it a 10/10. What would your numerical score be for the Outback?

6. Does this Subaru use premium gas?

7. Of course you should buy Subaru they have paid me a lot.

8. Last time Subaru was anything special was when Blondie was singing about them. . .and that was a very long time ago.

9. Im so in love with this ❤

10. They add the little visual quirks and squared off fenders with little visual accents because they are trying to attract the people who think Jeep, Passport, and 4Runner are cool, and give an obvious progression in "seriousness" from the Crosstrek.

    I just can't figure out why they keep making the difference between the Forester and Outback smaller.

11. 24:42 💯

12. Subaru couldn't hold a candle to Toyota's drivetrains and exterior designs (and why I own a new Crown Signia XLE).

13. Interior materials look like a massive downgrade from 6gen. Everything inside except new gauge cluster, multimedia & ac controls is just cheap stuff for no reason except production cost cut.

14. My 1997 is still running… I guess I'll wait until 2027.

15. No drama…no style. Basic. Utilitarian.

    I could learn to love that. Like Volvo before they lost the thread.

16. My neighbor got one looks decent feels better made than my 25 Rav4

17. Really wish Mitsubishi would send you some press cars!

18. Love subaru❤

19. Ugly as hell 😣

20. Typical ugly Subaru exterior design. Too busy and looks awkward.

21. Just another update on the 2026 Outback 2.5L engine not covered here, they went back to the mechanical thermostat and away from the hunk of junk TCV that caused so many coolant leak failures. Probably the same designer who thought the big infotainment screen was a brilliant idea. AMEN
