  • The Outback is basically a cross breed, and you're getting the benefits of an SUV combined with the benefits of a wagon, without it looking too wagon-y. Nedahl Stelio spent a week with it to see how it handled family life.

    How easy was it to reach the seat belts when you had the 3 kid seats across the back? I've got an outback and tried setting up the same configuration (baby #3 due soon), and found it nearly impossible to reach the seat belt to buckle in the booster seat! (Love the Family Reviews btw - keep them up!!)

    Does she come with this car? She's gorgeous. I have a 2016 Sub Outback... it is not everyone's cup of tea... because it is very utilitarian, and being a wagon, with some clearance, but not so much an SUV that you climb up into it. I love the thing, it roll right through Canadian winters without issue. The gas door sticks in winter, and car wash jets spraying on the sunroof flex the seal, and you get some drip. Volvo was out of my price range, and the Subaru Assent was few years away when I got my OB. Have an Outback owner come up to me telling me i could depend on this ride for years... I think he had a 1990s-2000's model. Had two people ask me questions about how I like it... compared to CR-V's and Rogues, is not a common ride.

    All 2.5 NA Subaru engines err on the side of slow. Good cars, but certainly not zippy, quick or any other adjective relating to rapid forward motion.
    And more so with four people and luggage and then a hill appears...

    This review is hopeless. All that was mentioned is what the car felt and looked like. What fuel does it run on? 91,95,98? What is the service intervals? 6,9,12 months? What type of gearbox does it have? CVT, dual clutch, traditional automatic? Is the power steering hydraulic or electric? Is it 4wd , all wheel drive , front wheel drive? How much can it tow? Does it have a limit slip differential? What’s it diff(s) ratios? How much does it weigh? What is the cars actual dimensions in SI units? What type of induction does the engine have Atmo, forced, direct injection? What is the compression ratio of the engine? How many cylinders? What size are the tyres?

      In Australia they come standard with the clever roof rail system that turn into racks by following a quick, simple 3 minute procedure. You can strap extra passengers to the roof (like the in laws for example) when your three kids are in the back.

      So if the Subaru is a Japanese Volvo, does that make Volvo a Chinese Volvo. Subaru are also much better quality than the Indian land rovers.

      1mandrich the CVT is a auto, unlike a normal CVT which has a one gear drone, it simulates gear changes like a smooth Auto. But you can use the paddle shifters if you want a manual style effect

      Graham Walker some people just don't get it and jump in silly bandwagons. I haven't driven a Subaru CVT but I have others with gear step logic and they feel 99% normal. To the point that even Lexus on its flagship LS uses it.

    ALERT..!!! The 2018 Outback has a major safety problem. If the fuel Gage indicates 1/4 to 1/2 full, YOU ARE RUNNING OUT OF GAS, and they have not found out how to fix the problem. Make sure you always have 1/2 to full in the gas tank. There is a recall on these cars.

    • @joefattal7592
      @joefattal7592 Před 6 lety

      GB Sailing to answer your question because If you as a car maker who can make a car as good as Subaru can engineering with quality then making it look better should not be all that difficult should it? Yet it always has been. For this brand. If Kia /Hyundai/Toyota can all do it so can Subaru yet they don’t. It’s 2018 not 2000 and it’s not good enough in my humble opinion.
