One of the best car reviews I have seen. Well done!
Great review. I really enjoyed the detail about the driving experience. I like to know what it's like to drive a vehicle when I watch a review. This one is spot on. So many reviewers get bogged down in the details about the infotainment system but not here. Keep up the reviews!
Thank you David I really appreciate the comment!! 🙏🏼👍🏼
FYI the rear seats DO recline using the levers near the outer bottom of the outboard seats. They fold down using the buttons on top of the seats.
I like that standard on the Onyx is the star tex vinyl seating, blind spot/rear traffic alert with very noticeable markers on the inside of the mirrors, not IN the outside portion of the mirror itself, power tailgate, power drivers seat, roof rails with those built-in crossbars, wireless phone connectivity, adequate power in a non-turbo engine, and the best AWD you can buy. Just wish Subaru provided a longer warranty, even a 4 yr/60K miles would be more reassuring with all those electronics on board.
Just traded in our 2020 crosstrek due to my wife wanting a new warranty... Went with the onyx... So far we're thrilled and the dogs have more room... Power wise compared to the premium it's with the upgrade compared to the 2022 outback... Power isn't there and there's no options for drive so yeah, I can see why people are complaining about the 2022 compared to the 2023 with more options for your get up and go...
That color looks sick man. Thanks for the great review.
Thanks for the video, mistakes aside, I enjoyed your enthusiasm, review and relatability.
I really love this vehicle!! Amazing job bro.
Thank you Jeremiah!!🙏🏼
@@WTFCRLT1 Welcome bro.
What a great review
Thank you!🙏🏼
I just picked up this same model/color today and love it. FYI to anyone considering one, I’d try to grab a 2023 as the sales guy I dealt with said the 24’s should start rolling out in June and advised there’s a $2K price increase on Outback’s.
Great, fact filled and driving heavy review.
Thank you!🙏🏼
Saw comments regarding the climate controls being ahhh. Honestly everything is voice activated, so as long as the kids aren't screaming I can do anything with my voice like turn in the heated seats, change temp/fan speed etc. Startex isn't vinyl, it's urethane which is UV resistant and should hold up better.
I do like the front end more on the 2023, nice review.
Very subtle changes but overall It’s a much nicer looking car! 👍🏼
I test drove an Onyx XT last week. Loved it. I am a bit concerned how reliable the driver is on the touchscreen. If that quits, does the car still run? There are no manual buttons to adjust climate control. It’s all on the touchscreen.
My lease is ending next year on my 2020 Subaru Forester Touring. I am having a difficult time trying to decide whether to trade or keep. I will be at 60,000 miles next year. And I am not sure if I want to keep it at that many miles. I am considering the 2023 Outback onyx Xt and the wilderness. I have noticed with my chrome on my forester so hard to keep clean. I am also seeing what Subaru of America will release the 2024 forester.
Adam- do you think the non-turbo is strong enough to pass cars on the highway? Thanks
Nice video. I like everything about this outback except for the climate controls. Not a deal breaker. I just don't want to have to look to adjust. People like knobs when it comes to certain things.
I agree 100%...I like knobs for certain controls.
Agreed as well knobs would definitely be appreciated! Thanks for the comments guys!!👍🏼
And manufacturers like cheap manufacturing, so knobs will never come back.
I agree.
Sadly Subaru refuses to listen to their “Valued Customers”.
No front camera on the onyx edition is that an option
Drive the turbo! You’ll love it!
Hopefully I can get my hands on one asap!! 👍🏼
Turbo models are nice, but the upcharge isn’t
Great video, I really appreciate the time and effort it takes to produce a quality presentation. Too bad you can't t take home one you put a deposit on and have approved finacing due to a factory defect.
Thanks Ed I appreciate the comment! I wasn’t aware of any stop sale here I’m pretty sure this one is available to be purchased!
Anyone reading all the comments ref the windshield glass fracturing just on its own, mostly the 2022 Outbacks, I believe. And the dealers are VERY reluctant to replace them!
Does these new Outbacks have auto brake hold, like the Forester has? I don't see a button/switch on the shifter/console area to turn that nice feature on.....
Yes, it’s in the controls on the screen
At 12:49 he touches the mechanism that allows the back seat to recline a little, just before later saying it does not recline. It is a common mistake I see on video reviews of both the 2023 and 2024 Subaru Outback Onyx. They do in fact recline a little...certainly not a full recline. Maybe 15 degrees. I do not understand reviewers missing that so often. I have the 2024 Subaru Outback Onyx...like it so far. The latch for folding the seat down is at the top of the seat.
thx for reviewing the non turbo engine, not everyone are interested or can afford the high end trim with XT.
Glad you liked it man agreed the extra power is nice, but most people don’t need the extra power.. Thank you for the comment!🙏🏼
No spare tire? Thanks for the review!
Full size spare
@@ivanchavez8175 donut in the Onyx and most trims, full-size in the Onyx XT and Wilderness
@@ACSFernalld stand corrected. Just bought the XT
Rear seats DO recline. Rear cargo cannot fit an 80” tv.
I like video I subscribe
did he say 8.5 seconds 0-60 in the turbo?
In the na
Damn he cute😍
Sorry, but blind spot monitoring is a must living in the city. Too much traffic and too many cars love speeding up to catch you, then slowing down and staying in your blind spot.
Sorry but learn how to drive
@@pythonman8103 real mature. You obviously never used your mirrors. Cars do not appear in your mirrors when they’re riding in your rear quarter panel. Either that are you’re some fucking kid who’s never driven on the interstate before
Has Subaru fixed their excessive oil burning with their engines and if not do they still claim it's normal?
Jesus, living in the past are you?
That’s something from a decade ago
Lol not at all. They still drink oil
I have a 2018 Forester. Never had an oil issue
Is Subaru reliable?
I would say yes. Most Japanese made autos are. Honda, Toyota, Mazda and Subaru. I believe the Subaru's are actually made in Japan. The quality is even better because of that.
@@1Springloaded The Outback is made at Subaru's plant in Indiana.
@@davetisee Thanks, it is the Crosstrek I was thinking of.
@@1Springloaded and the Forester is exclusively made in Japan.
@@davetisee Only the Subaru’s for the US !
Can’t wait for the day when dealers are eliminated from the BS
Um sorry but Subaru doesn’t offer a non plug-in hybrid in any Outback, Forester.
It seems that they would since they’re in bed with Toyota.
We LOVE our Outback and would sell it and buy a hybrid Outback in a heartbeat.
Subaru really needs to enter into the 21st century and actually do what they say about loving the environment.
W.T.F with all this plastic clading, every facelift there is more of it. Fasing out steel I suppose.
What is wtf?
Is it just me or is everyone else sick and tired of Depressing Grey or Death Black interior colors that became popular in 1990?
We refuse to buy another vehicle with gloomy colors.
Bro slow down smh
As somebody who has ADHD and thinks a million miles per second, this guy speaks perfectly to me. You can watch videos on youtube at .75 speed, you might like that.
@@cameronfreeman6753 lol I have adhd too. How do you do that? I don’t speak fast I speak freely with no filter.
