haha, i thought the same thing, but of course they call their kids grandparents "granny" and "grandpa" for simplicity...my parents both did the same thing, mainly for the fact id correct anyone referring to my grandparents as mom or dad id say "you mean granny/grandpa"?...i feel like Granny especially is like Granny of the Beverly Hill billies where she is for ever to be known as "granny" by everyone, not just Kin
my public service notice about EyeSight, especially for people who think they are used to it - KEEP YOUR WINDSHIELD CLEAN. you likely have seen the winter fog/frost warning message "EyeSight is Off". The tricky thing is, one smashed insect in just the wrong place, in the summer, will make EyeSight blind and the car will NOT notice it nor warn you. The only symptom is lack of the "following a car" symbol, and lack of slowing down, on cruise control for traffic ahead. This has happened to me, once in 36,000 miles.
It must run in the family or something... I traded in my 15' Impreza sport for our 18' Crosstrek when the 15' needed tires before the lease was up. and yes, these nice folks are my parents.
We have a 2015 3.6R Limited. About 33k it began to make a sound that was exactly what wheel bearings sound like when they are going out. I replaced the tires with Michelin Premier A/S tires and WOW, what a difference. Silence. Way quieter that it was even when brand new. Plus they ride better and are absolute MONSTERS in the wet. It is unflappable in even heavy rain or standing water. We don’t get much (or any) snow down here in San Antonio, so I can’t speak about that, but otherwise these tires are the single best upgrade we’ve made. In a few thousand miles I’ll be doing the same to our 2017 Forester XT Touring.
The 20mm rear bar coupled with new geolander go55 tires absolutely transformed our 18’ 3.6r touring. Makes it feel so much more confident around curves. Also when climbing mountain passes the cvt is the perfect pair with the 3.6, the transmission doesn’t have to downshift, it just minutely adjusts to the grade
My wife has a 2018 Outback Touring with the 2.5. It has almost 20k miles on it and my wife just loves it. Hers is the really dark blue and looks absolutely beautiful. The adaptive cruise control works beautifully.
That’s a good Spec Outback not many Subaru owners purchase the top of the line models so they do stand out especially with the cool color interior and exterior that they have
We have a 19 Outback in Cinnamon Brown Pearl with Ivory interior. My wife fell in love with the colors so we bought it. We average 4-5 feet of snow in the winter and we’ve never had a problem with it. We do have to go into X mode to get up our private road and into our garage. We only have 10K miles on it and it’s now 3 years old. Once Subaru gets the bugs worked out of the new Solterra, then we’ll buy it for me. We recommend Subaru to anyone.
The swaybar upgrade sounds good. I have to wonder how often they're going to scrape those exhaust tips, they hang down awfully low for the back of that wagon.
@@normt5463 give up, the tourx will soon be gone from the market because it's a boring Opel with buick clothes. I drove one, what a snore fest that was
Whiteline adjustable rear sway bar upgrade is the BEST, it's either 24 or 26mm. Installed it on my Forester, HOLY MOLY... now I can take turns. The bar is twice as thick and adjustable. Best thing ever!
@@johnphillips1879 yeah I have the Cusco one, don't really feel a difference. Cusco brake master cylinder brace, was a great add on as well, being the 17 Forester brakes are so crappy
I shopped around at two different Subaru dealerships looking for the Outback I wanted. I found one that I really liked and bought it. Both dealerships had the ugly poop brown outback that they couldn't give away......lol.
Bought a 2012 Outback for my first car when I was in college. I know, a 20-year-old wanted a wagon? Well, I really liked it because I could fit all my friend's gear and we would head to the mountains to ski. It was very versatile and I was able to move myself from my parent's house to my dorm. I liked the AWD system since I am from New Jersey and we still get pretty bad snow storms. The system held up well during my trips to the Catskills for skiing and for my daily comute. Never felt like it would slip really. It's been pretty reliable, 110,000 miles, and other than oil changes, it's been great. I got the 2012 with the backup camera and navigation and those have been great too. My next car will probably be a newer Outback with brighter headlights
My 16 Forester shifts like a dream. It shifts as quickly as I can pull or push the stick and operate the clutch. I rented a CVT forester one time. That thing was terrible.
@@zimmejoc a big reason that I sprung for the turbo engine is that high torque masks the unpleasant effects of CVTs much better. (the other side of the choice is that I was a sucker for the fancy Touring model's gadgets and brown leather, so we were forced into no stick shift)
@@marksandstrom4248 my car has no toys on it at all. That is the price I paid to row my own gears. I wish I had the iSight. I test drove a Subie with that on it and was very impressed.
@@zimmejoc I still love gadgets, but they are definitely my Touring model's weakest point. (for example, seat position memory loses its place on height, verified by dealer, but cannot be fixed. EyeSight is excellent, nearly zero flaws). My 20/20 hindsight says I should have special-ordered a 2017 Forester Premium 6MT, which at least would have the big sunroof which is my favorite feature of all.
From the for what it’s worth file, I had a 2005 Outback with very high mileage. I commuted from Colorado to North Dakota on a 15 and 6 schedule. Just under 1000 miles each. A lot of 2 lane highway and a LOT of wildlife to avoid. After 2 near misses where I was able to avoid the elk but lost control of the car I made 2 upgrades. I added a larger rear sway bar and a tower strut bar under the hood. Now the Outback was never a performance car to begin with and with 200,000+ the original suspension was fairly worn out. An emergency maneuver would result in the rear coming around. I absolutely could not believe the change those upgrades made. The car cornered much much better. If they was to make one additional upgrade I would suggest that strut bar under the hood. Probably less than $250 and an easy install.
John Phillips I have an 2018 2.5i Outback, will have to look up where I can get those two upgrades. I would love to lift it sometime, so unsure if the rear sway would be affected by a 2” lift
Nice these are the ppl that keep the Dealership open. And Subaru turning out STIs. Thank you Nice people. Hopefully you can get that 2021 when it comes out. I have no doubt those guys at the dealership are smooth talkers
I have a 2018 3.6R Touring and love it. The cvt is livable and if it proves reliable even better, good thing Subaru extended my cvt warranty to 10 year 100k. My really only gripe is not having cooled front seats which drives me nuts!
Cute couple and fun episode. Surprised they didn't complain about terrible stereo design. The '19 Outback is a fine car but next to the CVT (which is a mixed blessing) the stereo, Car Play integration and such are pretty poor. Lane keep assist is also "impulsive" contrary to what she said and also commonly mistaken (in lane but markers off road surface freak system out).
so was that an exhaust from nameless or lachute or just the tips from a Forester? I have the same in a 19 3.5r and the exhaust sounded a good bit different than my stock one., Also, the 19mm sway bar seems to be more common on the forum I frequent; with some adding upgraded bushings from traildog. My overall mpg meter shows 25.8mpg.
I just bought a 2019 Outback. I thought I did my research, but who knows. Reviews go from love to hate. I don’t give a crap about features. I want the car to start every time, and run to 200,000 miles and only buy oil, tires and batteries.
Literally my dad has bought 2 new Outbacks over getting his old one new tires because it was cheaper to trade in his year old one than for the tires! They’re good at holding their values...
The one thing I would change is I would put the blind spot monitoring lights back in the mirror and I would include an audible signal like most other manufacturers have.
I am retired and have a 9 year old car and 20 year old truck. I guess it is time to get a new vehicle. My truck will be needing new tires soon so I guess I need to buy a new truck. All ready have new tires on the car. Did they lease the 17 so that was why they got a new one?
she keeps saying she doesn't want to be like everybody else when everybody else is saying the exact same thing... so that makes her just like everybody else. (-_-) tsss
These folks are so in love with their ride that their minds are making their eyes see things. The looks are not different or quirky, it has the same potato shape and looks as most other SUVs.
I have a 2019 3.6R with those same Bridgestones. Bought the car brand new back in November 2019. The tire noise (3:52) has been excessive from the get go. The CVT has done well in the mountains of Western PA. Highway mileage is about 30. City mileage is about 23. A couple of trim issues, which was disappointing. Interior trim around the sunroof opening came loose. Also, a piece of black plastic above the passenger side A pillar was loose. I'm most concerned about waiting for the cracked windshield issue to appear. I've read about the windshield issue on Subaru forums and how Subaru has not been supportive to its customer base on the issue. If I have this same experience, I'll trade it in before having to replace the windshield several times plus the camera re-calibration costs
OK, come on, she's talking about the general appearance within the car line she was interested in buying. My experience here in Chicago is almost all I see are white (like she said) or silver.
Such a nice couple. And EXACTLY what i would want to do with my dog driving cross country. And yes folks there doing it in style it's a beautiful car. However, i'm NOT a fan of the brown interior. I think the Touring should have come with a black and tan color option like the Limited does. The brown exterior with a tan interior would have been gorgeous. I would also have added chrome exterior side mirror covers which you can get on Ebay. They easily install with 3M tape. There chrome tips looks ridiculous and stick out too far i would have gotten the chrome Forester tips which look far better from what i've seen on various forums.
I love this car! The brown paint and nut interior is beautiful. I had some service done on my Forester recently and had a loaner for a day and loved the Outback. Very possible my next car will be the new Outback with the turbo four and touring trim. Cant wait to drive the new model! BTW, just turned 170k on my 14 Forester...its a beast and just a great performer as well...time to upgrade!
Me. I went from an ‘13 Mustang GT to a ‘17 Focus ST to a ‘17 CPO Fusion Sport over 5 years. I made money on both the Mustang and Focus ST by buying them at a huge discount as leftover models from the previous year and then selling them privately to enthusiasts before depreciation negated that discount. Those profits left me at a net positive from where I started even after switching to a fully loaded Fusion Sport, which I bought CPO at a huge discount since the dealership needed to make room on the lot for the new Rangers. I also raised my credit score 120 points in 3 years by paying off the first two loans early. Not all car buying decisions are bad, contrary to what the internet says. I have to admit, I didn’t do all that to make money though. I switched to the Focus because I moved somewhere that gets snow. Then I switched to a big safe sedan because we decided to have a kid. I was just able to make it work out in my favor financially with careful planning. I’m inclined to think a fella that wears his shorts that high didn’t let himself get upside down on his car loan either. He even bought the last year of a generation to get the most reliable version rather than buying the first year of a new generation so he knows what he’s doing.
First Subaru was in 2008, Had 5, so about 1 new Subaru every 2 years and a few months. This is not a Strong supportive case for long car life. They never had any problems with the CVT, well I hope not. My daughter still drives a Toyota Corolla I purchased new in 2008. We and She never had any trouble out of it . Subaru was a fine car company, then they went CVT, CVT means do not buy. The Subaru CVT costs about twice as much to replace than a regular automatic. Even if it lasts as long as a regular tranny (which I doubt) the cost of transaxle replacement is too high. Also according to Autoguide and Your Mechanic ( both have presence here on CZcams ) Place the Forester in the top 10 most expensive to maintain over a 10 year period. CVT failure and Head casket failure. As a Perspective Fiat has no cars in the top ten.
The one thing I hate about my WRX is that I can roll up.the back windows if I turn the engine off. Just the backs, before you open the doors you can roll up all the windows but the back...
Bextar636 2019 is a big step up year for Subaru going to the global platform and redoing the engine management so it doesn’t cut power so bad when off-roading has been a god send lol nymph the fact they finally stepped it up with interiors
goatmonkey2112 that’s not what happened at all not was it a weakness of the awd but a weakness of the engine management with the cvt and cutting power which they’ve reworked but hey the more you know
Since they like 4WD and station wagon or hatchback type of cars, I imagine that for their next car they would say "Instead of Tires We Bought A New 2020 Tesla Model Y | Dude I am Crazy about My New Ride!"
I'm not too sure what the purpose of this video was. I guess TFL wants to show what owning a stock Subaru Outback with a cheap license plate frame, horrible looking exhaust tips and an annoying owner is like. I don't see how this video adds to the channel in any way. TFL, if you read this comment, make some changes! Showing old folks and featuring stock, run-of-the-mill cars surely doesn't lower the age of your viewers or get more views, which is why I presume you added Tommy to the team.
It doesn’t do well that their opinion on car financing seems to be based on poor judgement. Therefore hard for me to respect their opinions especially on the CVT because both the 17 and 19 have it.
The Outback 3.6R is a brilliant sleeper luxury car and it's surprisingly quick. Does a respectable 7 second 1/4 mile and will hit almost 140. Love the 3.6R 6-cylinder and it's a shame it's being replaced by a turbo 4-cylinder. They don't handle that well and braking is not great but otherwise it's one of the best cars on the market especially with the 6-cylinder. Leslie and Chuck need some TFL fashion advice! Wow those high water shorts and tucked in shirt scream old guy tourist!
@@carminedauria-gupta2561 Proven reliability and smoothness of Flat-6. And I'd lose my luddite badge. I want to see how reliable the 2.4 turbo is before considering one. In a couple years we''ll see how it's holding up. The specs are there more power and torque plus better fuel economy and performance at altitude. A 260 hp, 277 lb-ft flat-4 in the Outback is going to be a fairly quick wagon not sports car territory but respectable performance.
I doubt that car ever sees 140mph. I would love to see a video of it doing that verified by gps. Also 7 second 0-60 is slow, 7 second 1/4 you must be dreaming
Could it be that the MAN needs to talk more instead of the women..Just saying! Personally, I like the ladys excitement. But the man is not sharing all that is in his heart about THE OUTBACK they own..Have fun with your Subbie..JT
He is at the age that many men stereo-typically go out and purchase cars like the Mustang GT or Camaro ZL1. Or even a BMW or Mercedes. Heck, the Hynudai G that they recently tested, would rock, for someone that age. The Subaru is a nice car, but I do not see it as a car of mass excitement. I think he is sharing his thoughts...his wife just purchased a pottery shed and he couldn't be happier.

12:46 the look on Andre’s face as he’s trying to figure out how they could still have living grandparents.
Yeah, I'm trying to figure that out myself. I guess they could have grandparents in their late 90's.
Lol, so true...
That look to the cameraman, 'Did you get that!'.
Aren't they about 70? I'd say their grandparents would have to be over 100.
haha, i thought the same thing, but of course they call their kids grandparents "granny" and "grandpa" for simplicity...my parents both did the same thing, mainly for the fact id correct anyone referring to my grandparents as mom or dad id say "you mean granny/grandpa"?...i feel like Granny especially is like Granny of the Beverly Hill billies where she is for ever to be known as "granny" by everyone, not just Kin
She doesn't like to be like everybody else, she says, thus being unintentionally ironic.
my public service notice about EyeSight, especially for people who think they are used to it - KEEP YOUR WINDSHIELD CLEAN. you likely have seen the winter fog/frost warning message "EyeSight is Off".

IDK about the car, but Leslie is delightful!
Just average folkes who love their ride! Great video Andre and gorgeous Subaru!
I traded my POS '18 Frontier 6 speed for a '19 WRX and what a difference in quality, finish and comfort.
Frontier is probably the worst interior new car. Besides maybe a chevy express van.
Brown on brown wagon👍 The gen 5 Outback guys have been installing the larger WRX and STI rear sway bars for years. It’s a great oem+ mod for $100.

OK, come on, she's talking about the general appearance within the car line she was interested in buying. My experience here in Chicago is almost all I see are white (like she said) or silver.
Such a nice couple. And EXACTLY what i would want to do with my dog driving cross country. And yes folks there doing it in style it's a beautiful car. However, i'm NOT a fan of the brown interior. I think the Touring should have come with a black and tan color option like the Limited does. The brown exterior with a tan interior would have been gorgeous. I would also have added chrome exterior side mirror covers which you can get on Ebay. They easily install with 3M tape. There chrome tips looks ridiculous and stick out too far i would have gotten the chrome Forester tips which look far better from what i've seen on various forums.
Love the wheels, the openings look like lava lamps and the spaceship from asteroids.
she doesn't let my man get a word in
Isn't the Ascent their top of the line?
if you mean big, yes. if you mean fancy, it's a tie.
Hello Richmond heights! Im here in Medina!
I love this car! The brown paint and nut interior is beautiful. I had some service done on my Forester recently and had a loaner for a day and loved the Outback. Very possible my next car will be the new Outback with the turbo four and touring trim. Cant wait to drive the new model! BTW, just turned 170k on my 14 Forester...its a beast and just a great performer as well...time to upgrade!
Couldn't wait 3 more months for the 2020?
Probably got a good deal on this 2019 which - with over 500 miles on the odo - was likely a demo.
They said they didn’t want the 2020 being the first year of a new generation and wanting them to work out any possible bugs with them.
Where is the Lincoln aviator grand touring video.
Subaru? Are they still making them i havent seen one on the road in a long time or maybe they are just boring to get noticed.
Best year model for outback
Forester, Outback, and Ascent all have heated steering wheels...
We have an 04' and love it! Will drive it till it dies or rusts away due to Ohio winters lol.
Andrey is talking like a rapper/Italian the way he moves his arms! 🤣
I would love to know where you got those exhaust tips, and the brand
Why not wait for 2020?
She gave Andre a run for his money as to who was going to do the talking, LOL
I’m so happy just because they are from the great state of Ohio❤️ where I’m from. I hope you a safe trip back to Ohio guys.
Well it is a brown station wagon, but it isn't stick shift or used from the factory, so Reddit would pass.
Was in an Uber outback 3.6r had like 211k mi. Ran and sounded brand new.
Who the hell goes through 3 cars in a 8 year time span?
Me. I went from an ‘13 Mustang GT to a ‘17 Focus ST to a ‘17 CPO Fusion Sport over 5 years. I made money on both the Mustang and Focus ST by buying them at a huge discount as leftover models from the previous year and then selling them privately to enthusiasts before depreciation negated that discount. Those profits left me at a net positive from where I started even after switching to a fully loaded Fusion Sport, which I bought CPO at a huge discount since the dealership needed to make room on the lot for the new Rangers. I also raised my credit score 120 points in 3 years by paying off the first two loans early. Not all car buying decisions are bad, contrary to what the internet says.
I have to admit, I didn’t do all that to make money though. I switched to the Focus because I moved somewhere that gets snow. Then I switched to a big safe sedan because we decided to have a kid. I was just able to make it work out in my favor financially with careful planning.
I’m inclined to think a fella that wears his shorts that high didn’t let himself get upside down on his car loan either. He even bought the last year of a generation to get the most reliable version rather than buying the first year of a new generation so he knows what he’s doing.
Most self employed.
A fairly large amount of people. I, for one, can't stand to keep a car for more than 3 years.
alot of people but im thinking of cheap beaters \
2020 Subaru Outback XT tow test with the max 3,500lbs please. Mpg, Ike, light trail towing, the whole shebang. Thank you!
Nice interview/review. Sadly, CZcams did not exist the last time I bought a new vehicle.
First Subaru was in 2008, Had 5, so about 1 new Subaru every 2 years and a few months. This is not a Strong supportive case for long car life. They never had any problems with the CVT, well I hope not. My daughter still drives a Toyota Corolla I purchased new in 2008. We and She never had any trouble out of it . Subaru was a fine car company, then they went CVT, CVT means do not buy. The Subaru CVT costs about twice as much to replace than a regular automatic. Even if it lasts as long as a regular tranny (which I doubt) the cost of transaxle replacement is too high. Also according to Autoguide and Your Mechanic ( both have presence here on CZcams ) Place the Forester in the top 10 most expensive to maintain over a 10 year period. CVT failure and Head casket failure. As a Perspective Fiat has no cars in the top ten.
The one thing I hate about my WRX is that I can roll up.the back windows if I turn the engine off. Just the backs, before you open the doors you can roll up all the windows but the back...
Guess Roman is not mad at Subaru any longer..
Bextar636 2019 is a big step up year for Subaru going to the global platform and redoing the engine management so it doesn’t cut power so bad when off-roading has been a god send lol nymph the fact they finally stepped it up with interiors
Is he mad at Subaru? I thought they just wouldn't give them cars anymore because they broke one and showed the weaknesses of their AWD system.
goatmonkey2112 that’s not what happened at all not was it a weakness of the awd but a weakness of the engine management with the cvt and cutting power which they’ve reworked but hey the more you know
@@wolvesdengaming4844 Yep, you're right. It has been a while since I watched that video.
Since they like 4WD and station wagon or hatchback type of cars, I imagine that for their next car they would say
"Instead of Tires We Bought A New 2020 Tesla Model Y | Dude I am Crazy about My New Ride!"
I'm not too sure what the purpose of this video was. I guess TFL wants to show what owning a stock Subaru Outback with a cheap license plate frame, horrible looking exhaust tips and an annoying owner is like. I don't see how this video adds to the channel in any way. TFL, if you read this comment, make some changes! Showing old folks and featuring stock, run-of-the-mill cars surely doesn't lower the age of your viewers or get more views, which is why I presume you added Tommy to the team.
$100 says these that typical Karen that cruises in the left lane doing 5 under the limit too.
They’ve had nothing but Subarus. Ofcourse they think CVT is great and the car is fast😂
Consumer review is nice thank you guys!
6:13 you mentioned 2015 was the first year the Outback had EyeSight. Wrong! Was 1999 in Japan, in the (JDM) Lancaster.
Love these segments!
It doesn’t do well that their opinion on car financing seems to be based on poor judgement. Therefore hard for me to respect their opinions especially on the CVT because both the 17 and 19 have it.
Do a battle between old hybrids, find a first gen Prius and a Honda Insight
Nice for sure.
I've never heard the term "ginger bread" before, and now I've heard it twice.
Dennis Gaspar yeah, what does she mean by that?
I will NEVER own another car with a CVT. Even my 4 seat UTV has had trouble with the CVT. Screw that crap.
Rich Farfugnuven sadly I believe it’s here to stay
@Eat Jat you have to remember no power in a Prius though to stress that CVT. I can fry a belt in my 200HP SxS pretty quick.
The Outback 3.6R is a brilliant sleeper luxury car and it's surprisingly quick. Does a respectable 7 second 1/4 mile and will hit almost 140. Love the 3.6R 6-cylinder and it's a shame it's being replaced by a turbo 4-cylinder. They don't handle that well and braking is not great but otherwise it's one of the best cars on the market especially with the 6-cylinder.
Leslie and Chuck need some TFL fashion advice! Wow those high water shorts and tucked in shirt scream old guy tourist!
Dylan Mitchell 7 second quarter mile? Cars with 4x that power barely hit 7 seconds
@@Warrendiehl 7 second 0-60, 15 second 1/4 mile
Turbo r gets better gas mileage. Why wouldn’t you want it?
@@carminedauria-gupta2561 Proven reliability and smoothness of Flat-6. And I'd lose my luddite badge.
I want to see how reliable the 2.4 turbo is before considering one. In a couple years we''ll see how it's holding up. The specs are there more power and torque plus better fuel economy and performance at altitude. A 260 hp, 277 lb-ft flat-4 in the Outback is going to be a fairly quick wagon not sports car territory but respectable performance.
I doubt that car ever sees 140mph. I would love to see a video of it doing that verified by gps. Also 7 second 0-60 is slow, 7 second 1/4 you must be dreaming
Good video
Geez man, let your wife have a word...lol
The exhausts tips changes the ground clearance
Instead of car vertical, you could also check that shit for free 😂
This Subaru is Superb except for that dam CVT!
CarVertical sucks. I ran a report today on a 2014 E250, valuation was in Euros and there were ZERO records for the car. Waste of $14.99.
Has there been an episode that they hate the car?
Great car
Could it be that the MAN needs to talk more instead of the women..Just saying! Personally, I like the ladys excitement. But the man is not sharing all that is in his heart about THE OUTBACK they own..Have fun with your Subbie..JT
Some people are simply more reserved in the amount they talk. Surely that's pretty commonly understood, no?
He is at the age that many men stereo-typically go out and purchase cars like the Mustang GT or Camaro ZL1. Or even a BMW or Mercedes. Heck, the Hynudai G that they recently tested, would rock, for someone that age. The Subaru is a nice car, but I do not see it as a car of mass excitement. I think he is sharing his thoughts...his wife just purchased a pottery shed and he couldn't be happier.
Will the dealer install the sway bar mentioned at 8:45?
Folks live a long time in NE Ohio!
