I'm a Volvo person, but Subaru really has an incredible lineup. I know a number of people with different Subs, and everyone loves them. Great review, as always!
I owned three Volvos and a KIA Soul, but the proposal was too good this time. I bought a brand new 2020 Outback Touring XT in February and it's awesome. They finally put it on the new Global Architecture, they brought the Turbo back and it is loaded with safety features and technology. Gripes include the Turbo burning some oil, like my old Volvo 850 Turbo, and the LED headlights always making other drivers think they're high beams, thus making them flash theirs at me...
Just bought the newest 2021 Outback here in Europe. I find the 2.5L 169hp engine more than adequate and the car is just overall the most comfortable thing ever!
Just purchased the 2021 Subaru Outback Premium. I am totally impressed with this vehicle. It exceeded all my expectations and more. I feel comfortable and secure driving this vehicle. It's practical. It's good on gas. It's safe and reassuring. It's everything I needed and wanted. Lastly, it's an attractive, smooth, spacious, and fun to drive vehicle. Glad I purchased this Subaru. I highly recommend buying a Subaru.
Just bought the blue 2021 onyx XT, i went from my beautiful 2013 2 door Jeep Wrangler Sahara. Honestly, as much as it pains me i don’t miss the wrangler. I love her dearly, but it was time.
Another GREAT review from you guys! Just ordered my 2021 Outback Touring XT. Your reviews are so inclusive that they are always a BIG part of my reviews for selecting vehicles. THANKS AGAIN!
I have enjoyed driving Outbacks for a long time. They have a lot of utility and get better and better each generation. I thought I would miss the H6, but the 2.4T is very capable and quiet. The CVT tuning is excellent - light years better than my 2011 was!
@@bfdia51 so I can't say "Fabulous" because people will think it's gay or lesbian? The word you just used? I don't take orders from you. You don't get to tell me what I can say, or how I Express myself. Don't look now, but your ignorance is showing.
My wife drives a Forester & loves it after driving Honda’s for years - could well spring for Outback next - really liked interior amenities of the Touring. Great review - have TH-cam on my 65” smart tv - engine revs sound great on the sound bar! 😂. Really great review, guys - you two look like stars on the big screen!! 😎
Just as an FYI, the Limited XT can give you more bang for your buck. You give up very little but have additional packages and still pay less than the Touring.
Sorry, sent before done. The main 2 things different from touring and XT is that 1) the XT has Turbo Acceleration which is a game changer when merging/passing, etc. 2) this package comes with an extender on the front of the driver's seat for long drives (I've used it, it does help) it is basically where the front of the seat can be extended up to 2 inches further which supports better and prevents blood clots or something 💁♀️
John, Last November I bought my wife a new Outback Limited with Ivory interior. She absolutely Loves her Subie. My next car will be a Forrester Sport, as it has the dual X mode and even though I’m pushing 60 years old, I still love to play in the snow and go hiking, even in the winter or go fishing in areas that I can only get to with my 4X4 truck and hopefully the Subie Sport.
This sold the car for me! Ordered my 2022 and am waiting impatiently. Thank you! Measuring the sound is what really sets you guys apart. Keep up the good work!
Just took delivery of my new 2021 Subaru Outback Touring XT. This is the nicest car I have ever owned! I'm still going through the learning curve of all the features, thanks for these videos it helps me understand the car without the manual and random key presses. I miss the old days of my 2005 outback XT with 300hp it was fun to drive! but 260hp gets me where I'm going. Great job!
The motor is just right and I love the cruise control in the mountains, it feels like the transmission doesn’t work hard at all really feels like it just stays in one gear the whole time. As far as in town I would vote for a closer gear pattern, XT touring owners know what I mean.
WOW, what a nice car from Subaru. Just wish the top trim would offer two interior colors and not just the orange / brown color. Black leather would be a nice option and a head up display.
Bee, you can get any Subie, onyx, and up and add an inch lift to achieve a 9.7 ground clearance. Then add (to any Subaru), a K&N intake and a Flow Master exhaust. This will give you a more than 8% in hp, to torque and mpg. If you buy a non turbo engine, this is a must.
FYI It is not the number one seller year after year, I do believe that the Forester out passed the Outback last year. Great video on all your reviews I’m a big fan !
Subaru cut corners in the 2020 redesign. There’s a metal rod you have to pop out to prop the hood open. Also below the touch screen there is only a very small storage space. Prior to the redesign this storage space was larger.
@@nervouss pretty low profile,. The Reese expore rack I got has an option to extend to 68 inches. 4th section from their website. Saw a 70" used rack on Craigslist but asking Fn $190! No thank you. They had it on their BMW LoL
I request every viewer that If you want back to back Blockbuster reviews than do subscribe this channel and press bell icon ,select all.It is worthy when you receive amazing review's notification. I'm going to repeat that this channel is no 1 for car reviews.🤘🤘👍👍😊😊
Would also like an auto door lock feature. So you don't forget to lock the car at night. Also a much needed usb port on the rearview mirror to power a dashcam. The mirror already has power, would be nice to tap into it for a cam.
Just test drove a 2021Outback XT, love the interior, love the display, outstanding ride and quiet. One disappointment I have a 2017 Forester XT and that engine and transmission integration for drivability is FAR superior to the Outback's The Forester XT engine is quiteter , much more responsive. The Outback XT seems lazy in comparison..slow to respond . I often drive to Maine from VT...350 miles of secondary roads..gettig stuck behind truck, RVs is where the Forester XT with better response and super responsive SI drive setting quickly steps our for passing. The Outback if very slow to get on the power in comparison....maybe playing with the padle shifter would help...but on the Forester that is not necessary.
I'm currently trying to get SOA to take back my 2020 Premium as I'm of the opinion it's trash in favor of an older Outback or Forester. I don't expect XT performance, but it is not good.
Auto stop/start is the worst thing about this car. Fortunately AUTOSTOP ELIMINATOR makes a product that is easy to install and for 99 bucks makes this car perfect. Installed it on ours in 15 minutes thanks to a great video specific to the car.
My car is a 2017 Subaru Outback 3.6R Touring White with just over 30,000 miles. No plan to switch to 4 cylinder ... 2021 high tech features seems attractive though.
The 3.6R engine has a big following with Subaru owners. If an Outback with this engine hits the used car lot, you'd better take a quick look at it, because it won't be there long.
I tried and tried to like it. But that huge screen is a mess. Apple car play has these tiny buttons, great while your driving. And the trans and that turbo lag wasn’t for me. It’s a shame cause the seats and interior and look of the car I thought was sharp.
Hey guys, always thank you for the reviews that you guys do. I enjoy watching them. I was wondering if you guys plan to create a list of cars with the decibel test numbers. I'm pretty sure many people would love to see that report including me.
Howdy, great review as always y’all! I’m a huge fan of the Outback! My neighbor almost got one, at Quantrell believe it or not, but she ended up with a 2020 Highlander Limited because Toyota on Nicholasville made her an offer that was too good to dismiss!😸😻😸
Had anyone seen any discussion of the seat depth change cause by the thigh extender? I've noticed the driver's seat feels like it's a little harder than my 2019 was and would like to hear other's viewpoints on it. Thank you!
Great review guys. One comment I wanted to share is on your driving position. I feel that you are too far back which doesn’t allow for good steering wheel control as your arms are almost fully extended. You should be able to extend your arm comfortably past the steering wheel until you can rest your wrist on it.
It’s unfortunate that the Subaru Outback is not priced competitively enough to directly stand up against the Subaru Forester, Honda CR-V, and Toyota Rav-4. I hope all car manufacturers remove the CVT’s soon, a traditional torque converter automatic transmission is usually far more reliable.
I have a 2020 outback and as of today, February 01, 2021, The battery has died twice. Until this big problem is addressed, I would not waste my money. It will happen to you sooner, or later.
The huge display is impressive at first glance but after putting several thousand miles on my 2020 outback limited I have to say it’s a giant safety fail. With knobs and buttons you can generally find your way around by feel but with the touch screen you have to take your eyes off the road several seconds at a time to do just about anything. For example to switch the air flow from recirculate to outside air, you have to touch the screen two times and in different places on the screen. Previously it was a button you had to push to toggle back and forth.
The Outback infotainment should have more physical buttons! You have to go into too many menu's for simple functions, such as turning the screen off and turning the Auto start/stop off. Unfortunately it's a deal breaker for me.
I wish Mr. Subaru would watch your videos and read our comments. That said, I’m impressed with the ‘21 XT Touring. This top line version should smooth out the lumpy lower cladding and remove the roof rails and substitute slim chrome bands instead. Seriously, how many Outback owners take them off-road? I’ve had two other Outbacks and both were trouble prone. So, keep up the good work, boys, and I’ll keep watching.
Does anyone out there know how the upgrade Rockford Fosgate sound system sounds. I’m thinking about getting one when I build my own when I order the 2021onyx XT
I rented 2 cars in Europe with start/stop feature. First time it got me scared. The second time I knew. But I do not like this feature. It's OK if it can be permanently turned off. But it is annoying if it has to be turned off every time the car is started. And for this single reason I would not buy Outback....since this feature is not easy to disable and it has to be dealt with each end every time...
Guys: I watch you do your decibel tests, which I am very interested in, and I've noticed something: Your numbers always sit around 51, 52, 53 decibels. The other bloggers all seem to come in around 70, 71, 72, 73 etc.. Any idea why the big difference?
We usually conduct the test at 50-55 MPH and some others will do at about 70 MPH. And different equipment probably just has different sensitivity, if they have something super professional and expensive
Laggy is one word for it. Junk is another. Mine has gone black four times in seven weeks -- the car has been in the shop 20% (13 out of 64 days...) of the time since we made the purchase. The 2020 was *not* ready for release.
@@joskjj3625 I don't like CVTs in general, but Nissan really did it in for me. I'm now enjoying Mazda's offering still with a normal 6 speed automatic. CVT once broken cost thousands of dollars for a replacement and no mechanic will touch them with a 10 foot pool. I'm a lost cause at this point when it comes to CVTs, thanks Nissan.
Better and cheaper to do the upgrade yourself. My new Ascents package included the 2 map light/ 2 side dome light upgrade charged $180. I changed out the 2 License plate bulbs, Cargo light, and 4 Door puddle lights and all 4 Vanity Mirror lights for $50
What are your thoughts on those simulated shift points? It seems weird that they’d want to interfere with the power delivery when you get into higher RPM’s when you want that turbo boost the most?
With the BROWN Leather Interior, WAKE UP SUBURU, give us a BROWN STEERING WHEEL, more Style IMO, so it doesn't look so bland. DIGITAL SPEEDDOMETER Should Be TWICE LARGER. UPGRADES THAT WOULD MAKE ME WANT TO BUY IT! Nothing Earth Shattering or that hard to make available it you seriously LISTEN to the needs of prospective buyers. Also I couldn't tell is there a thigh extender on at least the Driver's Side Seat?
When did economy cars get this expensive? Some people say that you get luxury features but 42k just for this car is extremely excessive. Come on man, at least with luxury cars, you also pay the premium for the brand name.
Economy cars have an econo fwd drivetrain (e.g. Volkswagen, Chrysler, Ford, Hyundai) real awd comes at a price, and Subaru’s are pretty competitive in delivery and price
$40,000 for a station wagon is pretty pricey though. They need to come down on their prices. My parents Bought the house that I lived in for $19,000 and it was a very nice house
I wish it was fully blacked, really hate the chrome trims in the side and front. Make up your mind Subaru...either fully chrome or just fully black it out.
In 2019 was"...the biggest recall Subaru has ever seen. Some 1.3 million Subaru Forester SUVs, Impreza sedans and wagons, WRX and STI sedans, and Crosstrek SUVs were recalled in March for an issue apparently stemming from contaminants in common household products such as cosmetics, fabric softener and car polish that could cause a brakelight switch malfunction. Word to owners should have been passed along starting in late April, but if you still haven’t repaired your Subaru, know that dealers only have to replace the brakelight switch as a fix." Cars dot com "...70 percent of new Subaru vehicles are now the object of recalls or service campaigns within two years of being purchased, noting that the “permissible limit” should be around 10 percent." Thetruthaboutcars
If you think that’s bad, you should see Volkswagen’s and Hyundai’s recalls - emission disaster and fire hazards ☠️ glad I switched to Tesla but I bought a new Subaru for winter mode 😎

Bee, you can get any Subie, onyx, and up and add an inch lift to achieve a 9.7 ground clearance. Then add (to any Subaru), a K&N intake and a Flow Master exhaust. This will give you a more than 8% in hp, to torque and mpg.
If you buy a non turbo engine, this is a must.

It is not the number one seller year after year, I do believe that the Forester out passed the Outback last year.

Auto stop/start is the worst thing about this car. Fortunately AUTOSTOP ELIMINATOR makes a product that is easy to install and for 99 bucks makes this car perfect. Installed it on ours in 15 minutes thanks to a great video specific to the car.
No Brake Assist at Stop Signs? Suburu could make this look so much better with this brown Nappa Leather, by adding a brown Leather Steering Wheel.
It does have brake hold feature. If you look under settings you can enable it
My car is a 2017 Subaru Outback 3.6R Touring White with just over 30,000 miles. No plan to switch to 4 cylinder ... 2021 high tech features seems attractive though.
The 3.6R engine has a big following with Subaru owners. If an Outback with this engine hits the used car lot, you'd better take a quick look at it, because it won't be there long.

Lol, I wasn’t gonna mention that, thanks!
Nobody asked you that.. like bruh.
No Brake Assist, or Ambien Lighting, or back seat sun sliding screens?
Turn signal lights need to be LEDs! Needs panoramic sunroof. Seats ventilated?
I agree about the moon roof!
He said in the review that a lot of Outback owner's put canoes, etc. on the roof so there isn't the need for a bigger moon roof.
I wouldn’t mind a full glass pane like the Tesla roof has. Heated and Ventilated seats are in the Touring and Touring XT. Heated in the rest.
Howdy, great review as always y’all! I’m a huge fan of the Outback! My neighbor almost got one, at Quantrell believe it or not, but she ended up with a 2020 Highlander Limited because Toyota on Nicholasville made her an offer that was too good to dismiss!😸😻😸
How about the comparison of this one and Turbo Mazda cx-5 or cx-9?
CX-5; CX-9 is a 3 row so should be compared to Ascent

Great review guys. One comment I wanted to share is on your driving position. I feel that you are too far back which doesn’t allow for good steering wheel control as your arms are almost fully extended. You should be able to extend your arm comfortably past the steering wheel until you can rest your wrist on it.

They're an option.
just don't understand why Forester is like half generation behind the Outback, in terms of the interior
It’s unfortunate that the Subaru Outback is not priced competitively enough to directly stand up against the Subaru Forester, Honda CR-V, and Toyota Rav-4. I hope all car manufacturers remove the CVT’s soon, a traditional torque converter automatic transmission is usually far more reliable.
Eh, I’ll take a CVT for the better fuel economy, Nissan kind of ruined everyone’s view of them!
@@ryanfrisby7389 I know Nissan ruins it for everyone
CVT’S are actually more reliable depending on what brand. And it’s a raised wagon it doesn’t compete with the CR-V or RAV-4.
The camera in the car is constantly recording videos from inside of your car, privacy issue mate
I have a 2020 outback and as of today, February 01, 2021, The battery has died twice. Until this big problem is addressed, I would not waste my money. It will happen to you sooner, or later.

Good. Go by a Toyota.... WITHOUT the CVTs they're incorporating across their product line.
Are they good reliable cars ?
I think that the Turbo can tow up to 3500 lbs., if I'm not mistaken.
Correct.

Thanks! 👍
Diagonal test! No Mercy!
I like it a lot, but my color is sky blue ( celestial blue ) You have it ?
Guys: I watch you do your decibel tests, which I am very interested in, and I've noticed something: Your numbers always sit around 51, 52, 53 decibels. The other bloggers all seem to come in around 70, 71, 72, 73 etc.. Any idea why the big difference?
We usually conduct the test at 50-55 MPH and some others will do at about 70 MPH. And different equipment probably just has different sensitivity, if they have something super professional and expensive
Their infotainment system looks laggy
Laggy is one word for it. Junk is another. Mine has gone black four times in seven weeks -- the car has been in the shop 20% (13 out of 64 days...) of the time since we made the purchase. The 2020 was *not* ready for release.
@@kdpublic Too bad to hear that man, Subaru should take this seriously.
but can you bump the shifter up and down for manual shifting or do you have to use the paddle shifters?
For Subaru's you need to use the paddles
Yet still has a CVT...Subaru quit it with the CVT.
Subaru: No U
CVT’s aren’t that bad, Nissan just had to screw up and ruin everyone’s view of them!
@@ryanfrisby7389 Honestly, yes, I owned a 2012 Nissan Altima and I had to get it replaced at 60k. I gave up on Nissan and CVTs after that.
@@adamnash1873 don’t blame all cvt just because of Nissan
@@joskjj3625 I don't like CVTs in general, but Nissan really did it in for me. I'm now enjoying Mazda's offering still with a normal 6 speed automatic. CVT once broken cost thousands of dollars for a replacement and no mechanic will touch them with a 10 foot pool. I'm a lost cause at this point when it comes to CVTs, thanks Nissan.
Beautiful
How long will the CVT last?
Who knows 🤷🏽♂️ it doesn’t have the first gear like the one in the Corolla, so it’ll be less durable overall.
is this vehicle available with a factory installed CD player?
Yes
Engine is too small. Need a 4.0 flat six that won’t leak antifreeze.
Another clueless hater.
Are you required to run premium fuel in the turbo engine?
No, regular is acceptable.
If they made the signal lights LED it would be perfect
Better and cheaper to do the upgrade yourself. My new Ascents package included the 2 map light/ 2 side dome light upgrade charged $180. I changed out the 2 License plate bulbs, Cargo light, and 4 Door puddle lights and all 4 Vanity Mirror lights for $50
Wireless android Auto?
Well awesome car but still thinking the volvo v60 looks good too
What are your thoughts on those simulated shift points? It seems weird that they’d want to interfere with the power delivery when you get into higher RPM’s when you want that turbo boost the most?
It probably does slow it down VERY slightly, but it's worth the trade off to us for the more natural feel/sound
Can you guys review the updated 2021 audi q5? I’ve seen some dealers are just getting them. Thanks!
We are waiting for one to arrive hopefully very soon 😁
With the BROWN Leather Interior, WAKE UP SUBURU, give us a BROWN STEERING WHEEL, more Style IMO, so it doesn't look so bland. DIGITAL SPEEDDOMETER Should Be TWICE LARGER. UPGRADES THAT WOULD MAKE ME WANT TO BUY IT! Nothing Earth Shattering or that hard to make available it you seriously LISTEN to the needs of prospective buyers.
Also I couldn't tell is there a thigh extender on at least the Driver's Side Seat?
Yes.
When did economy cars get this expensive? Some people say that you get luxury features but 42k just for this car is extremely excessive. Come on man, at least with luxury cars, you also pay the premium for the brand name.
This isn’t an economy car, that’s like a Mitsubishi Mirage, which goes for 14,000 bucks!
Economy cars have an econo fwd drivetrain (e.g. Volkswagen, Chrysler, Ford, Hyundai) real awd comes at a price, and Subaru’s are pretty competitive in delivery and price
They start below 30 k which isn't bad. At least that is what I think...
Too cramped. Difficult to plug in to accessory ports. Gear shift too far back.
Want some cheese with that whine?
$40,000 for a station wagon is pretty pricey though. They need to come down on their prices. My parents Bought the house that I lived in for $19,000 and it was a very nice house
Then go try to buy something equal to this Outback for less. We'll wait.....
Nice❤❤
SI Drive would have been very useful, but unfortunately that's only on the Onyx XT.
Nice
Only thing that keeps me from one of these is the cvt.
Give them a test drive, they tune the CVT to behave like a 7 speed so it might not feel as jarring as you might expect.
it does not act like a cvt
Rather check out the engine stop/start feature that is annoying and has to be disabled every time the car is started...
I wish it was fully blacked, really hate the chrome trims in the side and front. Make up your mind Subaru...either fully chrome or just fully black it out.
Onyx Edition is blacked out
The 2021 Subaru Outback Xt, it’s alright, I don’t like the CVT!
The Outback is also a very well-liked wagon for LGBTQ too
In 2019 was"...the biggest recall Subaru has ever seen. Some 1.3 million Subaru Forester SUVs, Impreza sedans and wagons, WRX and STI sedans, and Crosstrek SUVs were recalled in March for an issue apparently stemming from contaminants in common household products such as cosmetics, fabric softener and car polish that could cause a brakelight switch malfunction. Word to owners should have been passed along starting in late April, but if you still haven’t repaired your Subaru, know that dealers only have to replace the brakelight switch as a fix." Cars dot com
"...70 percent of new Subaru vehicles are now the object of recalls or service campaigns within two years of being purchased, noting that the “permissible limit” should be around 10 percent." Thetruthaboutcars
If you think that’s bad, you should see Volkswagen’s and Hyundai’s recalls - emission disaster and fire hazards ☠️ glad I switched to Tesla but I bought a new Subaru for winter mode 😎
I just wonder, maybe I'm nitpicking but why spend all the time and effort to build an amazing car only to fit it with such lame wheels?
👍👍👍
CVT is a dealbreaker for me.
0:41 what’s up with that Kia Soul going backwards?
Perhaps because the video is being played in reverse?
@@ZapFlashD maybe
