Nice ride! I have a 2012 Subaru outback 2.5i Limited with Navigation and a backup camera. I love it so far. While it's not as advanced as this one, for a sub 12k car with 87k miles, it worked out really well. I'm from the northeast and we have tough winters and powerful summer storms. My Outback feels very confident in any of those conditions. I drive in suburban traffic and go on long road trips to Upstate NY. My Outback handles it all and it's surprisingly quiet and comfortable for a 12k vehicle. It's been reliable too. I do oil changes every 4-5k and it runs like a dream. The car has 106,000 miles and I plan on keeping it till it reaches 175,000 miles. I might just get another Outback, maybe this one!
Anyone suffering battery issues should know. The 2.4 is FAR more prone to battery issues then the 3.6R is. Reason being is because i learned on a Subaru forum they only put a 356CCA battery in the 4cyl. And a 490CCA in the 6cyl. They upped the CCA in the 2018 4cyl model after all the complaints in model years 2015-2017. Bottom line is either put in a Odyssey or Optima battery at around 700CCA and around 120RC which is your "reserve capacity" and you shouldn't have another further problems. Also invest in a good battery tender to hook up to your new battery. Especially, if your not using your vehicle every day and leaving it parked for more then a week. Doing that should prevent any further problems with a battery issue. Something Subaru should have taken care of in the first place. So people aren't left stranded without knowing this information.
I have a 2016 Outback 3.6L V6. Love the car!! The one complaint I have is the battery life. We’re on our third battery already. Ive done some research and the Outback community says Optima batteries are the only way to go. That’s what we have in there now and so far-so good

Hi yakfish yaco !! I see your older video of your youtube channel of the forester 2014 or 2015 !! Great video . I'm gonna by one but my girlfriend don't touch the clutch pedal to the floor even if the seat is completly forward !! You have a half-inch stopper to the clutch and i don't no were i can found it !! Please can you help me ? Sorry for my english, isn't my first language !!
Hi, many people asked me for the same thing. I’ve trie to find it again but not able to. It was actually a “BRZ clutch stopper” but will work for the Forester as well. Hope you can find it online, sorry again. If I find it I will let you know. Cheers!
Thank you for the review. You convinced me to get the 3.6R version. The version i personally feel should have come standard for this size vehicle. The 2.4 is "anemic" in terms of power and just sounds like a "toy". Plus, it's not half as reliable as the 3.6R is.

I’m going to be in the market for a newer car here by the end of the year and I really like the outbacks and this was a great review!
Great thanks! Glad it was helpful

You’re welcome, 3.6R is definitely a good choice
We have the 2.5 in the UK and I had one last year. Plenty quick enough for whats it’s designed to do. Yes ?
