  • Great car with a few issues - 2015 Subaru Outback
    By -

    2015 2.5i Limited. I have owned for about 4mos/4000miles. Great car overall. I will list a few pros and cons for the new model as I have owned a few OBs over the years. Pros: infotainment system works better than most, rear seat room better than most, few luxury touches like powr gate and blind spot warning are nice, maintains grt ground clearance, now with much improved ride. Cons: seriously excessive wind noise (I believe this issue is being addressed by the factory), MPG less than advertised, far less interior storage from prev models, esp in the rear cargo area. CVT works well, but has a very annoying lurch during initial acceleration, lthr seats too short under thigh, too hard.

  • Good car but comes with problems - 2015 Subaru Outback
    By -

    Chose this primarily for all the safety features. (We have teen drivers.) In general, great car. Problems: 1) Auto rear door gets stuck on occasion. Wont open with key or by pressing button in the back. Dealer wont do anything b/c they cant replicate since it only happens on occasion. I had several videos as evidence, but that didnt matter. 2) Useless voice recognition. 3) Navigation difficult to use. I gave up, just use my phone. 4) Screen system not intuitive, though my teens figured it out. 5) Heat controls confusing.

  • Subaru Refined - 2015 Subaru Outback

    Our 2013 Subaru Outback Limited 2.5i was a great car but the 2015 Subaru Outback Limited 2.5i is a better car in almost every category. The new 2015 model has a quieter cabin, better ride, more refined steering, slightly better fuel economy. The appointments have a modern look and feel and are well within reach. Interior material has a soft touch textures. Its a fantastic car to drive and we look forward to a long road trip.

    Just upgraded from a 2013 to 2015 Subaru Outback. They improved its handling in snow and the electronic steering and cvt are smoother. I rated the 2015 low due to quality of the fit and finish of the body panels – especially my hood. My 2013 and other manufactures have nice consistent gaps between body panels. I even found an online video where someone was showing issues with their hood.
