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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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?
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!
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
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
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).
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.
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...
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.
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.
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.
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!
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 RUclips ) 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 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.
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.
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
i got 2005 legacy gt turbo first owner i tell you its not that great i got oil leak all over the motor from top to bottom they told me this motor goes up to 3 hundred thousand miles i onlygot 152000 miles go figure
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.
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!"
@@theburgermeister7214 My friend has a 2012 AWD model and I got to drive it in the sand. I could do donuts all day in this thing. Traction control Off and you can have so much fun. In fact more fun than my 2015 Subaru Forester which is limited by the VDC system and the stupid CVT.

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.

IDK about the car, but Leslie is delightful!

Frontier is probably the worst interior new car. Besides maybe a chevy express van.
Just average folkes who love their ride! Great video Andre and gorgeous Subaru!

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.

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 \
Subaru: THE CAR for grandma and grandpa
Forester, Outback, and Ascent all have heated steering wheels...
Will the dealer install the sway bar mentioned at 8:45?
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.
she doesn't let my man get a word in
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.
Best year model for outback
Was in an Uber outback 3.6r had like 211k mi. Ran and sounded brand new.
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!
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 RUclips ) 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 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.
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.
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...
We have an 04' and love it! Will drive it till it dies or rusts away due to Ohio winters lol.
2020 Subaru Outback XT tow test with the max 3,500lbs please. Mpg, Ike, light trail towing, the whole shebang. Thank you!
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.
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.
Love these segments!
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.
She gave Andre a run for his money as to who was going to do the talking, LOL
Love the wheels, the openings look like lava lamps and the spaceship from asteroids.
i got 2005 legacy gt turbo first owner i tell you its not that great i got oil leak all over the motor from top to bottom they told me this motor goes up to 3 hundred thousand miles i onlygot 152000 miles go figure
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.
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.
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!"
Andrey is talking like a rapper/Italian the way he moves his arms! 🤣
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.
Good video
Has there been an episode that they hate the car?
They’ve had nothing but Subarus. Ofcourse they think CVT is great and the car is fast😂
The exhausts tips changes the ground clearance
What Subaru dealer did they buy from?
Anyone know what kind of exhaust are those?
Nice for sure.
the stock tires they had only lasted 20k? thats bs id be mad if i was them.
@@normt5463 dang did i get lucky on mine then? i just replaced mine at 33k, did you do rotations every 5k?
Awww they are so cute 😍
But it still has a CVT.
And?
And nothing. It's a CVT.
Ya and that's awesome, CVTs are great.
More and more auto Mfgs. are using the CVT trans. for improved gas mileage.
Yeah... Terrible for more difficult terrain.
Well it is a brown station wagon, but it isn't stick shift or used from the factory, so Reddit would pass.
Geez man, let your wife have a word...lol
Still waiting for offroad test of the Kia Sportage AWD
Absolutely thank you!!I have an sx turbo and would love to see them review it.
@@theburgermeister7214 My friend has a 2012 AWD model and I got to drive it in the sand. I could do donuts all day in this thing. Traction control Off and you can have so much fun. In fact more fun than my 2015 Subaru Forester which is limited by the VDC system and the stupid CVT.
Nice interview/review. Sadly, RUclips did not exist the last time I bought a new vehicle.
Great car
