Watching this video makes me want a Subaru Outback now 😂 also great job on this review!!! Love how detailed you were!!!
Thank you! I’m glad you liked it
If you have the means, I can't suggest it enough. I got mine 4 days ago equipped exactly as the one in the video, and I LOVE it.
Gorgeous car!! Thank you for uploading the video. Great job.
Thank you!
I looked at the premium, but my issue with it was that the Onyx was just really the better value over it and it’s what I purchased. For almost $500 less (my MSRP) than the optioned one in the video I got bigger 18” black wheels, dual mode X mode and the Star Tex seating which is really nice and, personally, I think the Onyx looks nicer. The one in the video has nav which I don’t need with car play or want to pay for and the moonroof which again I didn’t really care to have as I rarely use em. The only options added on mine are the exterior auto dim mirrors for $285, body side moldings for $305 and the door scuff protectors for $179. I’m glad mine didn’t come with the all weather mats because the coverage on them, especially for the driver isn’t great and I ordered 3D Kanu mats which I’ve had in other vehicles. In my opinion if you’re looking for more than the base premium (not with the $3K option pkg15) then it’s a good buy otherwise you might want to check the Onyx because it comes with everything in that option package sans the nav and moonroof.
I agree - Onyx is the nicest looking trim. (In my opinion)
I contemplated the same thing, but in my case I actually prefer smaller rims/more rubber so that was a plus for me with the Premium. I did like the Star Tex seating but was wondering how it would perform in hotter weather/shorts.
@@andrewconger5045 I live in Florida and I’ve not noticed any issues with the Startex. I like the material a lot.
I don't feel a 0 to 60 testing of this vehicle is either necessary, nor does it make a difference..... reality is that if you're buying this vehicle, it's not for speed.... because that's not what it's designed for.... It is a family oriented.... long trip capable.... comfortable and fun to drive.... gas saving vehicle.... I got the pleasure of test driving one when I worked for Subaru and it totally turned me around as far as the vehicle I was going to get when I trade in my truck.... I am without doubt getting a outback.... I love the Station wagony look and it has.... the way it drives and performs.... and all the safety features which are very important.... I love that Subaru doesn't skimp on that and doesn't make you pay extra for most of those features
That is one of my favorite things that Subaru does is give you all those safety/convenience features as standard!
@@703Speed .... exactly
I think the idea with the upper portion of the center console (at 20:10) isn't for business cards but cell phones.
I noticed a lot of the cars for sale come with the auto-dimming mirrors. Something I don't need, for sure. And emergency steering? Really, you want a car to steer for you? If the seats are supportive and nicely padded for longer trips, i think a Premium is just fine, without any other garbage added. You are right -- great value. Cost less than a CrossTrek Sport, once you add the features to the CrossTrek. You mentioned lane centering -- no, just no, I would turn that off.
This will be my 1st Subaru to afford it bro.
Thank you buddy.
Any idea how it is going thru a drive thru? Like a bank,burger,coffee type. On trips sometimes I like to stop for a short nap looks comfortable for that? Thanks. Hitting subscribe now.
Thank you for the sub! Id say it is definitely comfortable enough to nap in.. Especially with the adjustable headrest..
Id say it would be easy to drive to through drive thrus.. Not too big of a car, and the steering is light.. About the right window height for drive thrus as well
That silver area u showed on the bottom of the bumper is an accessary, not paint.
Love my outback
Only 2 weeks on mine, but we’re loving it.
Hands free tailgate on my 2020 limited is ridiculously finicky as is the case with a lot of tech in this car.
There is just too much damn tech in every car these days, lots more to not work correctly. I wish someone would put out a 2024 vehicle with a whole bunch of switches, dials, and buttons on the dash/console. And let's get rid of ALL the piano black dust&fingerprint magnets while we are making the perfect vehicle.
@@ofcbob6391 So true. I predict the next refresh will go back to dials and buttons. They went too far.
@@user-gq2vn1xj2r Switches, dials, and buttons please....and we'll be lining up to buy them. (and get rid of ALL the piano black while you're at it)
Ref the AUTO VEHICLE HOLD option ... in the settings, if you click for it to be ON, will it be on all the time (until you option it OFF)....or...will you have to go into your screen and tell it you want it on every time you crank up the car (like you have to turn off the auto stop/start crap feature) ?
I (believe) you will have to turn it on again if you turn the off if that makes sense
@@703Speed So, just like the stupid auto start/stop "feature" (that most everybody hates) ....every time you get in the car and crank it up, you have to go into the BIG SCREEN and turn the AVH (auto vehicle hold) back on? Geez, on the Forester that button is right there by the shifter on the console! Subaru, are you listening to this?
You can add the button to the main Home Screen. It’s not a huge deal
@@petethehawk5186 It would be nice if the button could be placed right next to the auto stop/start OFF button, because after I crank up this vehicle, I will be wanting to turn off the auto stop/start AND option ON the AVH.
Love it!!!!
Can you confirm that I can get this trim version without the rear ABS? I currently have a 2019 Limited and there's no way to turn off the rear ABS permanently so it doesn't get triggered by my bike rack. You can do it each time you back up, but you cannot permanently disable it. This was confirmed by my local dealership. Thanks!
That’s annoying, but I’m honestly not too sure. I don’t THINK the premium has rear ABS
Are you referring to what Subaru calls RAB (rear automatic braking)? I think you have to get to the Limited trim to get that as standard, don't see it on the window sticker on this Premium trim.
All that leather trim you show on the doors and the dash....ahh...it ain't. It's something called vinyl, came out a few years back. 🤭
If you want heated seats, come to California, as it was 119° here today. 😎
How many RPM's at cruising speed of 80 mph?
I’m not sure. I didn’t drive it that fast. Maybe an owner can chime in on this
Around 3k+ rpm in 8th gear
BMW 330i can do 40MPG on the highway @ 32:00
Are you talking about the sedan? Sedan v Wagon not fair in that sense
My 2007 Outback has heated cloth seats... :)
My 2005 Forester XS had heated cloth seats. My 1999 Impreza 2.5RS coupe had 2005 WRX unheated cloth seats. My wife's 2022 Outback Premium has heated cloth seats. My 2024 Outback XT Onyx edition has heated StarTex seats... ;)
What option package include memory seat?
I don’t think you can get memory seats with the premium.
Are you a big fan of CVT’S
In general - no
I own a '23 Outback which is my 4th Subaru in 9 yrs. The CVT I know has a bad rap, but I have no issues and have had no issues with the CVT. To me it just drives like any other automatic transmission.
@@randischwarz5072 There not made for you yo be racing the life out of them
@@lamontc98 and?
@@lamontc98 You mean Their not..... Who said anything about racing? I do not even race or abuse my Mustang.
Boom!
where is the CD player?
You do not get one with the Premium trim level
@Gregg Schulz I guess some people do.. Lol
I think the Touring trim actually has one.
Does it have a cvt trabsnission
It does, yes
It does, and it's the reason I am not buying another. They suck.
Subaru makes one of the best CVT's, they're always improving on theirs.
Show the total cost of each vehicle 😮
26:05
Boom.
if you have to touch with your hand or arm, it its not hands free bud. logic is your friend
Lol. You are actually supposed to hover your hand/arm/head/whatever over the Subaru emblem
$33K
Sit in a Mazda MX-50 and see how Subaru is starting to lose their edge. No more Outbacks for me.
Do you mean CX50? They look nice, but way less room inside especially for occupants.
@@petethehawk5186 I agree. I drove them back to back. The Subaru's ride quality is much better and the Subie offers more for the money. The Mazda is nice - but it was not my cup of tea.
“What’s up TH-cam “ ?
The next few videos were filmed a while back. I have a bank of videos
You seem to make the same comment on several videos. Why watch them if you’re so triggered? My god, get a life.
Its slow but that's ok
comparing this subaru to a nissan is a travesty.
boom - when you get older you'll get a better vocabulary.
Maybe, maybe not.. Lol
As a boomer I enjoyed your style. Keep making your videos. There is a following for you style.@@703Speed
Your video on this vehicle was horrible. You should not do a video on a vehicle you do nit know how everything works. I currently own a 2023 Outback Touring XT, did own a '22 Outback Touring XT which was traded in for the '23. The hands free power lift gate works by holding hand NEAR the Subaru emblem, not touching it!! When you touch the emblem you cut the signal off to the lock. Read the owners manual. I think your recommendation of purchasing the premium with the extra packages might not be the best. A Touring trim is just slightly more and will include everything in that premium trim plus more. Try reading the owner's manuals of the vehicles you review.
I’m sorry you didn’t like it. There are plenty of other reviews/reviewers out there to watch
@@703Speed You missed the point. You had no idea how the hands free power lift gate worked.
@@randischwarz5072 Fair enough, you have a point.. But not sure why that made the whole video horrible.. What should I do differently for future videos?
@@703Speed Just my opinion: Every reviewer talks about a 0-60 time. I think that most Subaru owners (except WRX) do not dwell on how fast the vehicle can go. I never cared, I was just concerned that I could merge onto an interstate safely, and with torque at low revs, that is not an issue even with the 2.5l engine. You can tell the design quality of a vehicle by the noise the air makes when using the a/c or heat. The quieter the sound of the air moving through the ducts, the better engineered the car. Safety? look at the rear door openings, see the pin in the bottom of the door, see where the goes into the door frame, that is the structure of the vehicle. That reduces the amount of intrusion into the cabin in a side crash. My '23 Outback Touring XT is way quieter then my '22 Outback Touring XT. The Outback, Forester, Crosstrek, Ascent, Legacy and Impreza are family vehicles, sell the safety. I worked at a CarMax in sales and I sold many Outbacks to people with families because they are safe vehicles. Talk more about Eyesight, it works and I know from experience. The Eyesight in my 2015 Outback kept me from hitting a huge buck in total darkness. Find things to discuss in any vehicle you review that will set you apart from the other reviewers. Find out what about the particular vehicle is important to the customer who purchases that vehicle or type of vehicle. Try viewing Alex's videos (Bachmann Subaru), he does an excellent job. Even as I am a vehicle owner, I learn things from him.
Calm down Randi! Maybe your videos are better?
