If you get one from a subaru dealer and then end up not liking the car, their buy-back program is pretty incredible.

I've owned two (but I live in snow country). Good cars, low maintenance, practical.

I just turned 240K on our Outback after 17 years of ownership (it’s the 2002 2.5L).


I had one of that vintage (2001). Did you have the head gasket issue that plagued so many subarus in that time period?

I like women and identify as lesbian some days. Stereotypes aside, it is a good vehicle for what it is built to do. Don’t get the lesser models if you truly want the outdoor usage. Mileage could be better but that’s why it falls in between other wagons and SUVs.

Now they go with some variation of the 4. I don’t care for that. The V6s on the Outback are a tank.


The new turbo 4 models are faster and more fuel efficient. They've basically put the 2.4L turbo from the bigger Ascent into the Outback. It makes the Subaru Outback turbo the fastest car in it's class now.

Pfft. Everyone knows “Coexist” stickers go on Forresters, not Outbacks ;)



Yes, but the new Foresters have now gone mainstream. They actually look good and offer a lot of interior volume.

Where will all the lesbian's go now? Pickup trucks?

You won't find many people that hated Hillary more than me.

We have a 2014 Outback with about 80,000 miles.

It is a Subaru, not a Bugatti. Change the oil, not anything you couldn't do yourself.

So you're going to eat the depreciation of two new cars in 3 years for that little?

Yeah. They are not complicated cars by any stretch.

ETA: The complaints about the new Outback are around how their infotainment screen works. That may make the case for finding last year's model if you can.

swing and a miss then.

My opinion is probably my heavily influenced by the crazy old white woman who lives on the corner next to the entrance of our neighborhood. House decorated like it’s the 70’s, she wears mom jeans up past her belly button, calls the cops on anyone walking their dog in the neighborhood, and has her ancient security cameras all pointed at her Biden/Harris 2020 signs in the front yard.

And parked in the driveway? You guessed it.
Littered with camping stickers from every liberal politician that’s ran for anything in this part of Texas since 2016. Including a BETO sticker

You do know that at just 15 more mph, you could get 54 mpg, right?

I could sleep full length in the back, tote all my dogs and hunting gear around, and the tow capacity is enough for whatever I need.


Basically the reason I bought a 2012 Outback in 2015. With AWD it makes it easy to pull my boat up the ramp, AWD is good for the sand roads around here, and my sand driveway. Kayak goes in the back easily, or on top. Sleeping in it is legit when doing a roadtrip, screw setting up a tent. Reliability is important to me. I'll be buying another Outback in a few years. You have to be really insecure to GAF about the perceived politics of a Subaru driver.

If practicality is what you're looking for, you should look at the Honda Ridgeline. You get the functionality of a pickup and all the other qualities of a minivan.
