Not at all happy - 2015 Subaru Outback
By busymommy - October 10 - 11:35 pmIve had my 2015 Outback since August. Within the first week, we noticed several rattles. I took it to the dealer for its first oil change and mentioned the rattles. They said they couldnt duplicate two of them (a rattle under the dash and a rattle on the rear passenger side), and for the 3rd, they told me to not put the seatbelt positioners in the lowest setting, even though that fits me better. The car has been to a different dealership twice now and will be going in again this week, all for the same issues. I agree with others about the wind noise, the short seat bottoms, lack of interior storage, etc. Im very disappointed with the quality of this car and regret buying it.

Subaru joins the many automakers that kill roofline height - 2015 Subaru Outback
By jamesrivera - July 21 - 1:31 pmWith this OUtback, my wife is pleased, but not me. When Isit in the front seat I feel like I am aout to eat the roof in front of me. THe old Outback;s rooflije did not slope down as much as this one. I have poor visibility in this car. I wanted to like the new Outback but its not for me. Ive been looking for a car myself, so far the Cmax is a better option.

Best one yet. - 2015 Subaru Outback
By gsctht1 - July 3 - 9:42 amThis car is awesome. In the last 5 years I Have owned a Legacy and 2 Outbacks each one better than the last. Popular car in my area. I used to rely on pages like this in the past but people just seem to nit pick the heck out of every little thing, some imaginary! Please go try this car for yourself and dont let other people make up your mind for you. You will love it. No car is perfect gas mileage on the 2.5 isnt quite as advertised but whose is? Voice command isnt perfect but better than most. For quality and cost you cant get better than a Subaru!

5th Subaru and the Worst one ever - 2015 Subaru Outback
By James Meyer - June 5 - 6:17 pmWe bought our 5th Subaru because of the Outbacks revised exterior styling, 4 cylinder engine and the new touch screen system. I was happy as we drove off into the sunset and then my attitude soured. I think the entire entertainment layout is horrible. The volume control for the stereo is very small. Touch screen is not intuitive. The outside temp and time displays are very small. The worst is how it handles in the snow. Just driving in my neighborhood I have slid around corners and through corners with bad traction control and antilock braking. My confidence is shattered. Mountain driving is no longer fun as I am white knuckling the entire time. Anyone else experience this?

Truly a great car - 2015 Subaru Outback
By cohmar - May 5 - 5:07 pmThe 2015 Outback is light years better than the previous generation. Ive had mine for 4 months now it it is an incredible car. Great handling, good enough power, excellent on back roads and highways alike. Handles rough roads incredibly well and very quiet at high speeds on the highway. I have not encountered the wind noise that people complain about over 70 mph. This car has a normal amount of wind noise over 70 which seems to come mostly from the roof rail. And for those who live in snowy climates this car deals with snow and ice like no other. I live on a dirt road on a high hill and never worry about getting out to work or home from work in even the most horrid winter conditions.

Traded in our 2012 Outback for a 2015 - 2015 Subaru Outback
By rweller49 - March 31 - 7:16 pmI read a lot about how the 2015 Outback was improved over the 2014 and earlier versions. We decided to take a look and drove off the lot with a new Premium model (4 cyl). Everything is better on the 2015. Stereo, speaker quality, suspension/handling and interior materials have all been upgraded. Most importantly the CVT auto trans is greatly improved. The cars acceleration is far more responsive and that horrible CVT engine drone and "mushiness" is gone.

4th Subaru, and it wont be the last - 2015 Subaru Outback
By lstickle - September 22 - 6:28 amHands down the best vehicle in snow I have ever had. I have had Jeeps, SUVs, 4 Wheel Drive Trucks, nothing can compare to the sure footedness of the Subaru. Prior to this I had a 2001 Outback, 300,000 miles on it and sold it for $6000. These cars are built to last, they hold their value and are as advertised. Great technology is available now that wasnt available back then.

Lots of research paid off. Very impressed - 2015 Subaru Outback
By flfoofighter - May 1 - 1:51 amBefore I ever saw the 2015 Outback in person, it was at the top of my list when comparing all the features for the price. The model had a history of safety, reliability, good resale value, amongst the most room, best gas mileage, and best all-wheel drive system. In most comparisons, it was actually the best price too. The ground clearance was also the highest. When I went in for a test drive, the first thing that struck me was the quality inside and outside and the attention to detail. It could easily be confused for something more expensive than a luxury Acura. It drives very much like a car and only when fully loaded with friends do you notice its size. Very happy with this purchase.

Worth the wait - 2015 Subaru Outback
By nchesanow - April 20 - 6:55 pmIve only had the vehicle for 4 1/2 days. I was able to mate my iPhone to the car on the first try. I used a voice command to change the temperature on the first try. The radio comes with 36 presets, instead of the usual six. In 28 degrees, the heater heats the entire vehicle in 5 minutes flat. Some auto writers feel its looks are ho-hum. When I pulled into the first shopping mall, three store owners came out to admire it. Great-looking metallic paint is standard ($550 extra on a BMW). The speed appears in large numbers in the dash over the steering wheel, so you dont have to look at the speedometer. The nav system directions also appear over the steering wheel. No need to look at the map.

First Subaru - 2015 Outback 3.6R - 2015 Subaru Outback
By echodave2004 - December 10 - 4:29 amWas originally interested in the 4cyl Forester, but after reading about Oil Consumption Issues with the 4cyl engines, decided to go for the 6cyl Outback. The 6 cyl with the CVT is very Smooth/Quiet and has nice pep. There is a little lean with turns, but no big deal (taller car). The interior and infotainment system is much improved over previous models. Speakers are clear, but seem to lack some depth to the sound. USB ports are GREAT for music. Did not get the eyesight/nav system cause of the extra cost. LOVE the blindspot monitoring system. Very happy with the purchase and look forward to the next 10+ years with this vehicle. Bring on Winter!!
