The end had me in tears for how poetic the description of this car is.
me too, it hit home, what with me sharing the owner's same name and all LoL
Yeah that was good.
so much so yes, after saying goodbye today this is literally the most perfect description
See I love this era of cars. It's like, halfway electronic, with radio, windows and all. But no stupid complicated infotainment, stupid cruise control and lane-keeping assist that you can't turn off.
And a proper gearbox.
Love it
I have 2008 Outback and you really summed it up well! Actually you made me appreciate my Outback even more, thank you for that.
my black 06 outback just got totaled in a not-at-fault accident. she just got towed away today after 17 years of service (almost hit 200k mi). brings tears to my eyes watching this. what an accurate description of why I've loved but also have been totally peeved by this car all these years. rugged and ready for anything is the perfect way to describe it, along with the ending tag. thank you
Sorry for your car loss. Hope you are back up and on the road agaiiiiiin☆
I know your pain. Four days ago, my first and only car, my Green and tan Subaru Legacy Outback 96 was rear ended and totaled in a not-at-fault accident. I Loved that car because not only was it awesome but it was my grandfathers and I had a lot of old and new memories associated with that car. He bought the car new from Subaru all those years ago. I took care of it as much as I could and it got me to many places. I had just recently done a lot of work cleaning it up and fixing some issues. Lots of mechanical work I did myself, put on a hood scoop, and a tint. Now, I'm forced to move on from it. Its like it took a piece of me with it. It had 295k miles. Now I'm looking to buy a white Subaru outback 2006 2.5i. Its hard to say goodbye but this is the start of something new.
I just got my first Subaru and is a 2007 Outback man and I'm in love with this Wagon! The way you put it in words was perfect!!
I love my 07 outback!!
What the hell. I watched this as I’m looking into getting an 08 outback. I have a 04 bmw 545i and wanted something a little bigger for me to daily as I have a 3 year old girl now. While we get her mother the larger family vehicle I wanted something in the middle to haul my daughter and her things. Watching this made me picture taking her camping. Hiking. Road trips. Back road drives in the country since we live in texas. You worded it so eloquently. And have gained my subscription. Good work man. Keep fighting the good fight. 😂🎉
Dude the way you described the outback in the end just made me want to buy one 💯 You do amazing work keep uploading🙏🏽
The wingman 🥺 I was about to cry🤣🤣💕
Traded in my 2008 Impreza Outback Sport a year and a half ago. The car has 180,000 miles but was still zippy and reliable. Basically the perfect city car. I upgraded to an Audi Allroad, which I love, but my financial situation has worsened in the last year, so I'm considering going back to this gen of Subarus. They really are the best bang for your buck.
First time watching one of your reviews! You’re awesome man!
What an incredible review. I'm researching because my work does not accept call-offs for snow
Great review. Just bought a 2006 Outback, my first Subaru and much to my surprise I love it...it is not just outback it is background. Every great feature and top tier mechanical edge is right there doing its' thing perfectly without ego. I am singing the chorus to your excellent and poetic review. The car and review form a masterpiece...unique and full up.
How's your suburu holding up since you left this comment? I'm looking at a 06 for my kid.
Amazing review. Thanks for taking a look at older cars like this one.
Awesome car dude! This looks exactly like the one that was parked near the mosque I worked at, love from New Zealand! 🇳🇿
That was a fantastic review and made me solidify my decision to buy a 2006 outback. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!! I totally subscribed
How's it treating you now?
@@oliverviscoli...am curious too...
Genuinely think this must be one of the best car reviews i have ever watched.
I just bought one yesterday. Then I saw this review Its on point!! amazing man! This is an awesome review bro!
Keep it up.
Thinking about buying one with 82,000 miles and in good condition. Would you recommend?
I love the your work man. Recently discovered your channel and the content is superb!
You made a great video for the 2006 Subaru review, love the take home.
I love this review kick ass dude!!! You analyzed it perfectly👌👌
I like Subaru. They are very discrete but comfortable, and I like that they still have personality in a sea of bland crossovers. Nearly every car is the same, but at least the Outback has a personality about it. I have a 2012 2.5i Limited and it's been great. It's very comfortable to live with and the insurance cost is very low. The resale value is amazing as well. They are not very fashionable, or fast, but they are practical, easy to live with, and my car has some nice added features like a sunroof, a good Harmon/Kardon sound system, dual-zone climate control, bluetooth, navigation, backup camera, heated seats, and my favorite feature of all, the windows go all the way down. Sure it's no BMW or Mercedes with rims, but I like it because it's not so much of a show-off in-your-face type of car. It just gets on with whatever task you have for it and it does it well.
I’ve never can explain why I love my Outback so much compared to what I’ve had before it, that ending summed it up pretty good for me
Dude I just copped this less than a week ago in hella good condition. This makes me feel better about my purchase.
Love my little suburu outback. It's gone up steep sand dunes, helped my mates move houses multiple times, I sleep in the back on camp trips, it's the car that takes everyone's stuff on camp trips, towed trailers, gone down rocky roads and survived long trips. Best car I've bought.
I got my wife one of these. It's lovely honestly, the best inbetweener car ever really. Turns out also some years the XT wasn't the turbocharged engine. I was surprised when i looked at one and had no turbo lol
HA this was as good as it gets so well done sir... i have had a 96 97 98 99 and now 08 not a bad wagon to have for the colder climates and just the right size, and you are so right on that outbacks lead you to the great outdoors frame of mind
i grew up with not one but simultaneously two of these, and a 1st gen outback as well.
one of my favorite cars ever.
You my friend just convinced me to choose this car over Lexus RX. I test drove both today and will be making the purchase tomorrow!
Awesome video dude!
Nice cozy windshield-wiper heaters to curl up with in the winter with the frameless windows too
Thank God I have my wing man lol I love my 06 outback , perfect family car
Great review I am on my third one of these and my wife has one too I have a 3 L and I think they’re the best car in the world my wife’s car 2.5 is now got 200+ thousand miles drives like a dream again thanks for the review it was honest👏🇬🇧
Dude I just sold mine today after putting 50 thousand miles on it, and I cried bro I went on so many adventures and beat the fuck out of it. She took me from Maine to Miami and everywhere between I’ll never forget her and her wooden wheel.
You got me in the final thoughts review
Just got my first 06 wagon, can’t wait
The outback got you there 😂 Somebody needs to get this kid in contact with Subaru
I own a 06/2006 2.5i outback with a 1owner/89.4k miles on it and man, had been running her since 2016 and she's a fucking tank! In all honesty, this car is my version of the miata cult. I can tell you that my neighbors and a school bus were pulled out of snow banks by her and I'll definitely grab another one or rebuild the one I have now.
I have a 06 as well! I got it in December I LOVE it . Only has 146,000 miles on it. I will drive it until I can’t anymore LOL.
You filmed this in and around downers Grove! I can tell because you drove past the Belmont Station and down Ogden by the car lots off of Main
in the australian version we miss the heated seats but we do get flip out cupholders in the back of the center console
I ahve this car for 6 years and I love what it can do and do with grace and reliability.
I drive an '05 Outback and I am in love with it. It only has 100k miles on it so I will drive it until it cannot anymore. Also lover your review but the rear seats actually do have a functional cupholder.
I got 210k miles on 09 Outback with ALOT more to go, still makes me smile every day, I’m gonna see how many miles I can get out of it, so far I’m at 25-30k average miles a year per car, including the same annual mileage average on my wife’s car 👌
im honestly sold after your review now i just need to test drive one and see if i can fit my drums and gear to gig with my band
i love your discription of it but i have to say when it does "focus" on its self and you push it. it handles like a champ. the 06 outback is my current and second car (she's my logo) and i focus solely on it and its everything i love the engine transmission and the ride are all 10x better than what youd expect from a 170hp 4 speed wagon no matter what happens to it i will always own it
Great video
Thansk👍🏾
i got a 06 outback and i’m in love ❤️
Wow---I love this review--soooo much
Me watching this while sitting in my 2006 legacy wagon: huh very interesting
Strangely enough, I am looking at buying a 2005 OB. Same configuration with the 2.5 sohc and 4 speed auto. I have a 2004 Liberty as well but want to do some camping and also be able to put things in the boot.
Thanks for the video.
Sell me a pen! I’ll buy whatever you sell bro! This is good stuff!
This video was absolutely beautiful
First car was a 2006 Subaru Outback and absolutely loved it and can’t wait to get another one.
another 2006 outback?
As a 16 year old driver that just bought a 2007 2.5b manual, this is the perfect first car. Very roomy, seats for friends and family, fun to drive. Only regret: i didn't but the turbo outback XT. never the less, love this thing
Guarantee you your future self will thank you for not getting an xt. More problems, more money, more tickets. I wanted an xt for the longest time and thank God I never got one. The turbo just leads to more issues earlier on and Subarus are notorious for running forever. Best not to risk blowing head gaskets for a little more power
@@nicobolas9999 Turbos aren't really prone to the same head gasket issues as N/A issues were, not to the same extent at least
As a "librarian" with a 2.0 16 valve,165bhp Legacy wagon here in the uk, I can say that there is a big difference between the Legacy and the Outback, apart from ride height. The chassis and body of the Outback are specifically strengthened to go offroad. Subaru say that the Legacy is not. I have had Subaru legacies for nearly 30 years now and they are great cars. My current Legacy is 16 years old and just run in with 115,000 miles on the clock. I have had it from new and it has been almost faultless.
Good review. Thinking about buying a 2007 outback 2.5 with 111,000 miles
Did you buy it?? If you did, how has it faired?? I’m considering buying a 2006 Subaru Outback with 113,000 miles
@@lovely_liability8081 no it was sold
@@tomcat6933 im really interested in buying a outback 2.5 2006 with 90,000 miles but i am concerned with the reliability since i do put around 30-40 000 miles per year!
@@roadtoyoungaeshtetics9960With that many miles a year i would look for a honda accord or toyota camry.
I just search because I'm thinking about buy one 05. 135 miles. But they asking 2500😬🤔
I love my 2008 Outback 3.0r, i will always keep it.
I drive the 07 outback and it's my favorite. I love what he said at 9:51
subaru is love , thanks for sharing
I have a 2009 outback with 54k miles. plan on keeping it bone stock and in good shape for the next 40 years or so since its the only modern car I feel I can handle. All the other modern cars are annoying and get in the way of driving in general. The outback is a new car with new cars amenities but with the spirit of a car from the 80s. The next best thing is my grandpa owned it so its already a family treasure.
You should drive the Outback XT with MT 5spd! Everything you said way more fun! Only downside is MPG suffers...
I have a 2006 legacy outback. Do you know how that differs with just an outback
Great review. There's one of these for sale by a mechanic I know near me, I'm thinking of buying it. 140,000 miles, new tires, brakes, water pump, hoses, timing belt. $3,500.
That is such a great deal. I bought mine for double that and had to do all those things myself
I hope you bought it 🙏
@@MWorsa I did! I just drove zig-zag across the entire US in it, over 9,000 miles. One flat tire (fixable, ran over a nail), small crack in the windshield (from rocks in the desert), and in the last 1,000 miles something is going on with the cruise control, but it still runs great. Really great! Best car I ever owned. Even if it needs fairly serious work, I'll be okay sinking good money into it, as I have a feeling it will last another 100,000 miles if I take care of it.
@@PhilAndersonOutside Awesome to hear, great cars for cross country adventures, you should expect 300kmi from these cars. The cruise control issue, is your CEL illuminated? The cruise will flash and is inoperable if your check engine light is on. Congratulations on your purchase 🙂
i saw one at $3,599 i think it is an exelent deal, btw the end was very poetic lol
I love my 09 legacy 3.0R 😌
Somewhat as rare if not more than the spec b.. It has some sti goodies from the factory like the bilsteins. It's been Solid from 80k and now sitting at 135k. Sure it's more thirsty and has less torque than the GT but I prefer the reliability. It's plenty quick enough thou I wish we got the manual versions other countries got. Damn you subaru lol 🥲 They also had sti tuned gts with even more goodies to add salt to wound lol.
first time watching you, enjoyed your video. enjoyed your poetry. greetings from Juarez, Mexico. Feliz dia, amigo.
Subscribed for you bud. Hope it helps. Just loved the video. Don't need the car reviews really.
Base manual legacy with proper sport tires is a beast on snow or dry. Those who say it is a librarian car are giving false advice. Legacy is just unique because it is a great neutral car but if you push it is... great.
Just bought one, my Miata a 2nd car became my default daily because ... Covid. I need the opposite of an NC mx-5 on a budget ... Four doors, 5 passengers easy load cargo space ... And most of all a seat that can recline.
Good review... wonder how low the views are!
Just got an 08 outback with 129k in amazing condition! I will be pulling my popup camper everywhere!
I have an 09 with 118k. Been driving it since 68k. I really wanna see how far it will take me lol.
how has it fared?? going to look at an 08 outback tomorrow and I’m really considering purchasing!
@@TheDaisyForce you can't go wrong man. Do a check on the vehicles history of course but you really can't go wrong with this gen. On top of that, you won't be getting the grandma looking versions of the car that came the gen after. 08 generation still looks sporty enough to pass these days
Hi,
I am getting a 2006 Subaru Outback…170000 KM done is it worth taking it?
How fast does it accelerate? 0-60 in what?
Actually the gen after had both a cvt and a 5 speed auto called 5EAT .....allow with the impreza
Damn it David I’m crying now
Hi can you do a 2007 ls460👍
Hey man, I am in Australia and am thinking about purchasing one. Does the car have inbuilt Bluetooth speakers?
This particular model unfortunately does not have inbuilt Bluetooth speakers.
😳
Nope, no Bluetooth. But it does have a 6 CD changer!
@@abigcoI i am the god of hellfire
@@whoknows8101 true
Currently have 209K miles on our '06 Outback... very easy to DIY and is an absolute beast. Last year when I was replacing brake fluid (around 200K miles) and pumping the pedal to cycle the fluid through the lines - brake fluid leaked all over the driveway.. Had a rupture due to corrosion on a 4-way line connector near the rear passenger side of the undercarriage. Towed to the dealer and Subaru replaced ... EVERYTHING... free of charge. Hope I can get another 200K out of my new brake lines ! Sure I leak a little oil here and there... but replace with conventional every 3-4K miles and no problem.
Just hit 220K on mine. Love the thing. Very good to me.
Well now I feel like I should wash my Outback...
I found an 2006 subaru with 164k mile selling for 4k. Apparently really well maintained. Could it be a good buy? I don't care about cars, I just want them to take me place without breaking every time.
If service is up to date, it is a good buy.
The 5-speed auto (5EAT) was only on the 2.5XT (Turbo) and the 3.0R (Flat-6). 2.5i only got a 4-spd auto or 5-speed manual. XT also got the 5-speed manual. 3.0R only got the 5EAT.
Can you say that 3 times fast ?.........
I am ready to cry in the comments. That ending made me buy 6.
This is love
Is a 2006 subaru outback with 180k a smart move for a used car at present?
As long as it’s been well maintained. At that mileage, I would expect to have replaced the head gaskets with the new triple layer gasket (not the same original gasket) so they won’t leak anymore.
In the UK, its funny that you call 23mpg good fuel consumption
My 2008 is a family member 🐶🐶🐶🚙💨
Wouldn't the Forester be a more capable "off-road designed" vehicle than the Outback ? By the way, I like more the general design of the Outback than the Forester....
I'm getting one after this 😅
SOOO do you love it ? hate ? 1-10 what do you rate it
I would love to get me one but i dont know bout that CVT
CVT started in 2010 for the OB. Or get a manual.
You know, I’ve really thought about buying one of these. But an XT 😀
XTs are too cool
If you know, you know.
i do ive seen you recently at the fire by arthur brown song
@@whoknows8101 Hahahahah noice!
Lmaooooo have you read his manifesto
happened for a third time today
Subaru ❤️
review tip:
this particular car is almost poorest equipment of US Outback B13
LOL at "a Legacy is something a librarian drives to work".
It's about enjoying your trip to needless kill animals, not about the car that got you there.
Are you sure there's no aux on this model? was that added on the 2007?
Not a 4 speed it's a 5 speed auto,mate you drove it how would you not know this?
As for "Outback was a package, you could get it on the WRX" - that's because WRX was a package, too! For a while, Subaru made only two "models" of car (for the US) - the Impreza and the Legacy. Every other "vehicle" was just a package/trimline of the Impreza or the Legacy. Even the early model Forester was just an Impreza with a more extreme "Outback" package.
I just thought it especially odd when they marketed both the "Outback" and the "Outback Sport" - you'd think the "Sport" was just a higher trimline, or a sportier trimline of the "Outback". But no. The plain-Outback was a Legacy with the Outback package, the Outback Sport was an Impreza with the Outback package!
Heck, when they discontinued the "Outback Sport," they replaced it with the "XV Crosstrek" which is itself just a "more offroady" newer model Impreza.
I think I'll go with the Outback so I didn't have to change professions to a Librarian :)
Trust me, the windows freeze shut, the door freeze shut
Happens to every car when it's cold enough
Not if you use silicone grease on the door rubbers.
