    My 2024 Outback has left us stranded twice with CVT and gasket problems. Since I purchased gold warranty Subaru has covered all costs including shipping it back to us when it was not safe to drive 600 miles from home. I have put more miles on loaners and rentals than the 2024 Outback. Second Outback but the last one!

      That’s sad. I have a 21 onyx xt and no issues with it, I drove it straight 19-20 hrs from Kansas to California and back.

      Own a 2018 Subaru Outback also and never had issue, that is why I bought a 2024 Outback. The 2018 did not have the start stop technology. The Start stop on the 2024 is very clunky and I turn it off every time I start I start the car. But also noticed sometimes when I forget to turn off Start/stop, it doesn't work. The Info screen creates a lot of glare. I will definitely trade this model in whenever I find an affordable car without the CVT.

      Every once in a while there comes a lemon. I had the same issue with a 2006 Honda CRV. Every one speaks as this is one of the most reliable cars in the world. In my case it was a disaster. Three transmission. Plus new AC and the list went on and on. I got rid of it and bought a RV4. On the other hand my brother has a 2011 CRV and it has been super reliable. 👍

    This is a low quality, low information review. Rattling off anecdotes of one user’s experience doesn’t really show incidence or causation of any particular problem. The Subaru Outback isn’t a Mercedes, everybody knows that. Everyone hates all touch infotainment systems & CVT transmissions, but guess what? All cars have them below a certain price level. Subarus are known for being reliable if maintained, period.

    I own a 2024 Subaru Outback with 11,000 miles on it. My AC died on the hottest day of the year while driving to the Shore 2 days ago. I called several local dealers and no one would look at it Friday afternoon or on a Saturday. Today I will drive home in the heat. The dealer who I bought if from will service it on Tuesday. A new car should not have an AC fail.

    I think Subaru is the most hated vehicle brand in the world. I never see sooooo many bad videos as I see with Subaru. Still we, who owns one or more Subarus knows how amazingly they drives. Their safety and their reliability is as good as Toyota and Honda. CR rate this brand above those two. I am on my # 5 one and will never buy another brand. This is coming from a guy who loves and still think beautifully about Toyota and Honda.

      Subaru certainly has it detractors, but at the same time has a fandom of brand loyalists in many parts of the world. My 2022 Outback is my 4th Subaru, and I find it to be a massive upgrade over my previous Liberty sedan I had for almost 20 years. Sure, there some issues (eg.the infotainment system), but overall the positives are huge (to me) - ride, comfort, economy, spaciousness, off-road ability etc. It's a great package along side other good competitors.

    • @restaurantattheendofthegalaxy
      @restaurantattheendofthegalaxy 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      If you live on the west coast or in the northeast, Subarus have a cult following. They are durable, easy to work on and are a big hit with the outdoorsy types. People in flyover states see them as a cheap liberals car, but it’s really not. They are often handed down from parents to children when the kids go off to college.

    Have 4 Subaru’s currently still in the family 2016 Outback 2018 Crosstrek 2019 Outback and my 2022 Legacy. My 2022 has the most issues. 800 miles oil leak, battery issues always having to use a trickle charger, infotainment glitches and unresponsiveness, windshield just cracked at 5500 miles sitting in the garage overnight with no impact. I currently have 6600 miles. Buy your Subaru but get the extended warranty if you plan to keep it past 3yr/36k. Are we still going to own more? Yes.

  • @jhonrutger3508

    The 2 issues we had with our subaru (forester) was the USB socket would quit working and at 70,000 miles the thermal control valve went out which would have cost 3,000$ to fix if we didn't have the hook up we had. It's still a good vehicle but it's some things to be aware of.

    • @midwesternertk3714
      @midwesternertk3714 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      There's a class action lawsuit for the thermal control valve issue. Hope you know about it. 2019 to 2021 outbacks, foresters, crosstreks, and legacy models. Folks are pushing for a recall.

      @midwesternertk3714 That would be great because after a few things that my partner had to deal with she's wanting to dump her forrester for either a honda or toyota. I personally like subaru as I'm a fan of the outback unfortunately gas prices make it pretty prohibitive, so I got a kia hybrid it's been pretty solid so far traveling.

    As I watch reviews of cars/SUV's/Trucks I'm hearing many reviews talked about the electronics/infotainment systems having issues. I'm in the market for a new car and I've pretty much narrowed it down to the 2024 Subaru Forester Wilderness. I've seen videos of the 2025, but I don't care for the Ford like front end and also the big infotainment screen.

      I just bought my 2nd Subaru, a '24 Outback Wilderness. My first one was a '19 Crosstrek. Loved them both. No electronic problems thus far. Favorite 2 cars and I'm in my late 60s and I've had Toyotas, VWs and a Honda. Your mileage may vary, but some of the information in this video is just plain incorrect. Deceptive!

    I have experienced a lot of these issues in my 2022 Outback, and yet I still love it and am in talks to lease a new one. Take these issues with a big grain of salt - every car has its own issues, these ones are really not deal breakers and many you will find across all vehicles with these features. The overall experience with the Outback has been second to none - the safety features alone make it the gold standard.

  • @DanielBeard-bt7mn
    @DanielBeard-bt7mn 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    My '22 Crosstrek Limited also gets lousy real-world gas mileage (i.e. 21 mph city, 34 highway), but I do prefer the two-tier infotainment system. It's a lot easier to use, and it's nice having a CD player. I'll probably wait until the '25 Outback comes out before I trade it in. Hopefully, the enormous touch screen will be a lot more responsive by then.

    I have had a 2023 Subaru Outback XT now for 18 months, 19,000 miles and have noticed an occasional glitch with the infotainment system, but overall, nothing too drastic. It is a very comfortable and pleasurable vehicle,drive and I love it. Every vehicle you buy will have some issues and features that aren’t perfect, but is anything in our new high tech, computerized world without issues? If you are looking for perfection, get a vehicle that isn’t man made!

      @michaelostrowski8630 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      In Sydney heat, we don't even use a fraction of the 2023 Outback's AC power. Not a concern at all. Screen? Love it! Physical buttons for temperature plus front and back screen defrosting, knobs for volume and tuning. The rest is on the screen, but easily and quickly accessible.
      We also had a noisy seat ventilation - to a large extent fixed under warranty. Coming from a hydropneumatic Citroen I would say the ride quality is OK rather than fantastic. Small and large bumps are dealt with quite well, the medium-sized ones just OK. Slow? How long is a piece of string? In town it is a rocket: no turbo lag (well, no turbo...), always ready to accelerate. Heavy loaded on a freeway it is quick just enough. Have a look at the towing test videos - still managed to accelerate uphill with a 2000kg trailer. It is a bit heavy on the gas, but accepts our lousy 91-octane petrol. My son and brother also bought the 2022 and 2023 Outbacks - what a terrific value for money!

    I own an Outback 2023 and unfortunately I had problems to start the motor right at the first sign of frost (Oct 2023). After several months of investigation (broken down situation and even tow ...) the manufacturer changed a major electronic components in the dashboard. I like the big dashboard but because of all the electronic gadgets, it can cause battery drainage if you don't drive the car frequently.
    No matter the brand, if you have the bad luck to own a car that has a quality problem/defects with the electronics, it's complicate and $$$$ if you don' t have a guarantee. I really wish I could give a better review but this is the experience I have so far with my first S : (

Turned off not needed electronics and am happy driver! Have always stayed away from fancy models with all the bells and whistles because of the additional maintenance issues with cost.

    Plus, all the controls are in the info screen

Chimes relentlessly - when I open the driver door or back into a parking place. Backing up -- perceives the asphalt street at the end of my driveway as a barrier and brakes violently. No way to permanently turn off the Drive Monitoring System (it goes crazy when i lower my sunglasses to scratch an eyelid). Climate control system very difficult to change while driving because controls are distributed across screens and buttons. Screen hard to read in sunlight. I totally agree with commenter below -- all this is on me because I failed to adequately research this POS. NEVER AGAIN.
