I just bought a 2019 Outback and I learned more from this video than reading the giant Subaru manual. Include this video with every Outback!! I’M TALKING TO YOU SUBARU! Great job Victor Bravo, keep it up.
Best information on this car that I have seen thus far. And, I have seen a lot. Thank you, for such a thorough and informative video. All Subaru sales people should view this.
diana ray Hi good morning, Diana. You’re very welcome! I’m glad you found it informative. And I agree every Subaru Sales consultant should watch my walk arounds😊
Oh, man. As if I didn't want a Subie Outback bad enough, now I had to go and watch this video. Very thorough explanation and demonstration of all the features. Highly appreciated, even if my wallet disagrees!
Excellent. At last, so much stuff succinctly covered that I have been searching for through multiple long RUclipss videos since buying my Outback. This is the best. Of course I am in Scotland so unlikely to ever be a useful customer, but thanks anyway
Hi David, all the way over in Scotland. I’m glad you liked my walk around. I never thought people from all over the world would be watching my videos and finding them useful. Thank you for your feedback I appreciate the comment.
Been in the market for a used Subaru and this video was very helpful. You’re very knowledgeable and did your homework. Subaru is lucky to have you as their rep.
Good video but for some reason the volume was limited. I had my lap top volume at full and had to use cc in order to get all the info. Yes, checked with husband and not my lap top or hearing at fault
Thank you Alessio for your kind words. Don't let bonehead salesmen deter you from buying the best car in the market. I'm telling you there's not another car that is going to give you this kind of reliability, durability, visibility, safety, resale value, performance or handling at this price point. Subaru's are Solid! Let me know what you end up getting.
I have been shopping for a new vehicle for a while now and your video has sealed the deal. I've had the outback as my ideal car for probably 3 years. With a third child now this video confirms what I want I wish you could get the commission somehow. Thank you
Kari Delacour The only differences are the Touring has a heated steering wheel, more chrome on the outside, a different wheel pattern and Tule crossbars.
Victor, I agree with others who say this is the best video I've seen on the Outback. You influenced me to buy the 2019 Limited model. (If I lived near your dealership in Fresno and not in Connecticut, I would have given you a chance to make the sale!). If anyone from Subaru marketing ever looks at these videos and the related posts, I have an idea. Why not set up a competition among those making these videos, offer the winner $100,000 for rights and post the video on the Subaru website. 1) Such an amount would be quite an incentive for those making a video but would be a very small fraction of Subaru's marketing budget which I am sure is in the many millions, 2) It would be very helpful for those considering a car purchase as well as for those who have already bought a Subaru, 3) Right now you would be a front-runner for $100,00 but you might have to step up your game even further to retain the title. For example, I think a full demonstration of Apple CarPlay would be a helpful addition. In addition to your video, I've spent time with the owner's manual that came with my new Outback purchase (a LOT to digest with all the safety features, etc.) but there is no explanation whatsoever on Apple CqrPlay in the documentation that came with the car.
I sent this idea to the head of marketing at Subaru and one of his minions replied that the idea would not be submitted to anyone in authority who could make a decision on the advice of Subaru lawyers. I know this is standard in large corporations because they fear that someone will want to be paid for an idea, but I would have been willing to sign a release giving up right to compensation. It's too bad that Subaru is just like any other large corporation, constrained by lawyers at the expense of customers and employees. So all this happy shit about how responsible Subaru is as a corporation is just crap.
Charles, I certainly appreciate you taking the time to email Subaru and pitch the idea. As a token of my appreciation I’m making you an Apple CarPlay tutorial. I sell a lot of cars so my time to work on videos is limited. So please be patient with me. You know, When I first started this RUclips channel I never thought in a million years my videos would get this kind of attention and response from viewers. So when I say I appreciate you, I really do. Last year Subaru rolled out a new position titled the Encore Delivery Specialist. Basically what they do is invite new owners back to the dealership to go over the car after they’ve owned the Subie for a couple of weeks and answer questions. A couple of issues with this model. It’s super inconvenient for the consumer to take time out of their schedule to come back to the dealership. The issue is most people aren’t going to write down all their questions or remember all their questions. Also what happens when future questions pop up? If the attention span of the average human is six to nine seconds that means most people are not going to read through the arduous owners manual to learn about their car. So most people just go without using key features of their car because they don’t understand them. Or they turn to RUclips to learn what they can. If Subaru sells 680,000 cars a year for America if you times that by $25.00 which is the incentive for coming in and meeting with the Encore delivery specialist that’s $17,000,000 a year. For a fraction of that RUclipsrs like myself can make really cool how to videos that people can learn from in the comfort of their own driveway or garage. Also they can rewind the video as much as the need to till they understand what features they’re trying to learn. I just feel the the automotive industry is due for an overhaul. The antiquated delivery process is dead and is in desperate need of an overhaul. What good are all these cool techy features if owners aren’t able to use them to their fullest potential? Thanks again, Charles. I’ll be in touch🤪
Victor, your observations above make so much sense. In fact, my wife (who was unable to be with me when I collected the new car) and I are seeing the salesman next week on the follow-up visit that you describe and it's a reminder to write out any questions that we have. But as you say, a video can be seen at convenience, especially important in working families, and can be rewound and replayed. Thank you for your responsiveness. You must have many loyal return customers. Thanks for considering an Apple CarPlay tutorial and all the very best to you. Maybe someone at Subaru headquarters will read our dialogue and can do an end run around the legal department to implement some of these ideas.
+Christopher McKinney Chris, my brother! I don’t mind at all dude! I must warn you as “newbie” sales person it is easy to get in the habit of data dumping. That’s where sales people overload their clients with information causing them to get bored, have to think about it and overall confuse their clients. If you think of the walk around step of the sale, it’s the precursor for the test drive. So tailor your walk around based off the information you’ve collected from your needs assessment. By doing this your clients will feel that you’re listening to them and will be more open to going through your sales process. How long have you been selling Subies?
Hey! Sorry for the delay. Actually, I'm still in training. I haven't hit the sales floor any day now. But I was at a Chevy Shop for six months before this. That was my first auto sales gig. Before this, I spent 25 years peddling guitars. In one role or another. I was able to be pretty successful at that... so I'm hoping for the same here.
Christopher McKinney awesome dude!! Guitars and Subaru’s are two of my favorite things in this world. 😊 you’re going to love it. The Subaru buyer is way different from the Chevy buyer. It’s funny I started recording video for my RUclips channel as sales training tools to help sales people get more sales. I never thought that consumers in the market would appreciate them as much as they do. Anyway, I’m glad we connected.
That’s where the pull bar goes. Go check out my first video of the three part series of the 2021 outback I did a few months ago. I explain it in more detail.
I'm in the market for a used 2018 Outback and I just ran across this video. Although I currently own two Subies, this presentation provided a lot of new information. How could anyone not buy a car from this guy?
J.A. Jones you should! I always tell my clients it only takes 20 minutes to fall in love with a Subaru and once you do you won’t want to drive anything else!
Thanks Victor, my new Outback is 7 days old and I couldn't find the hood opener until I saw this video. I'm in northern Australia and my Outback will actually go to the outback, opening the hood may come in handy, thanks.
M Morales Thank you soooo much! It’s comments like yours that drive us to keep making more content. I appreciate you watching. Do you currently own a Subie?
Victor Bravo Hell yeah I do! I own 2 actually a 2007 Impreza wagon 2.5i (daily driver) and a 2014 STI hatchback . Best cars ever no matter the road, weather or anything mother nature throws at them!
very in depth review, probably the best on the internet, the only problem was it was a little quiet, might just be me but dang, that was really in depth
Eu sou do Brasil e achei miito , muito interessante sua apresentação. Parabens I am brasiliam people and i thing very interesting your explanation. Congratulation
Thank you for doing this video. My parents are in the market for a Subaru. I showed them this video and you convinced them to buy this car. Not even the car salesperson went into the important details like you did. Thanks again ! Great video. Keep up the good work. I just subscribed to your channel.
Excellent stuff - wall to wall information (all heard AOK!), no unnecessary razzmatazz. Been driving Scooby's for years, picking up a 2018 OB next week. Great job (inc the bit where you slide out from under it😁). Thanks..
Victor, Great video, have my Outback for three weeks now, What I would really like to see is an in depth video on the operation of the Tom Tom Navigation system. getting to different functions when driving and what can't be done while driving. All the different options/settings, etc.
Ronald Lippman thank you for the video suggestion. 👍🏼 a few people have messaged me about the Navi as well. I’ll break all that down in the near future.
This video is delicious... Been researching a new Subaru purchase and this video may have pushed me over the edge. I want to come buy a car from you now!!! Great job!!
Victor, I wish I could have taken you up on your offer but I made a purchase a couple weeks ago. 2018 Outback 3.6R Touring, my first Black car. Living in Wisconsin, it would have been a long drive to make a purchase... I'm always up for a road trip, so you never know.... maybe I'll come visit in the new Subaru!! This video did play a role in my final decision!! That I can tell you!!
You may think it boring, but I'm going for the Crystal Black Silica. I'm am a little confused though, the MSRP on Subaru site says $29,495, but my dealership has a tag of $31,000, then state they discounted down to about $29,495. It is a stock 2.0XT Premium without extras. Are they messing around? Any tips for negotiation? I already have financing established, so that's not an issue. You looking at Premium or Touring?
I know it’s not really relevant but could you make a video like this about the SG Forester (pre facelift if you can) I would love to see you explain different points why it is different from its opponents in those years...awesome video and I like your enthusiasm in your examples and explanations :)
I watch 1 video and I am already a fan like 5 minutes in and ht the subscribe button , damn now I have to watch all your videos. Very well made and very informative, you are a master reviewer dude. With some more effort you can be in the same league as DougDeMuro or MKBHD. Wish your channel all the best and wish more videos were made like this.
Prashant Khanolkar thaaaaaaaaank you so much for your kind words. It’s comments like this that keep me motivated to keep making videos. I appreciate your subscription and feedback!
Wow!!! Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. You did an awesome job and I enjoyed it thoroughly, very helpful. You also remind me of a much younger version of my favorite character in Flash Gordon (circa 1980) - Prince Vultan aka Hawk-man. Cool! :-)
Victoria Rose Bless your soul for saying such sweet things. I’m glad I was able to help you make whatever choice it is you decide to make. I will say this, I’d give up a pinky toe to have a pair of Hawk-Man’s wings😎
And ya know what? We went out and bought one. Wow. What great car. I looked at all the top "similar" vehicles from Range Rover on down. I would prefer this over anything else on the road. Thanks.
Excellent review of the outlander, because of this video my wife and I decided to get the outlander instead of the forester which we were about to buy, will subscribe
Victor, excellent video. My wife and I are fans of Toyota because of their reliability and low maintenance. We're considering an Outback right now but my question is whether you would advise going with the 2.5i, 3.6, or waiting to see if they do a turbo engine in 2020?
Matthew Barnes Hi Matt, Duuuuuuude this is a super hard question for me to answer because I’m so excited for the new Outback w/a turbo. Our current gen Outback is damn near perfect. If you do go with a 2019 I would definitely go with a four cylinder. The 250 HP on the 3.6R is amazing but the higher cost and fuel economy make it hard to justify when the capability of the 2.5i is so good. I know this isn’t much help but keep me posted on what you decide😊
Thanks for the video. A couple of comments/questions: 21:10 Aren't you talking about the Parking brake for stopping at an uphill? 23:31 What about the Japanese? They drive on the opposite side of the road and also have the gas gate on the right side of the car? The filling of the gas on the side of the road sounds good for safety reason. Also, if forces you to be on the opposite side of the car to check tire pressure if no tire sensors.
Very detailed and great information about the Outback. I really learned a lot. The volume was a bit of an issue as it was really hard to hear even at full blast. Keep it up man, great job
excellent video thank you for so much detail the Subaru has always been a favorite of mine the Outback especially most detailed video I think I have ever seen on the instrumentation and gadgets on the Outback thank you again excellent job
Danny Warren awh Danny, thank you so much for your kind words. I really appreciate you taking the time to leave me a comment. It really helps the channel. The next video we’re working on is the Subaru Crosstrek! There’s only two other people that help me make these videos so it takes us longer because of the amount of detail we go through. It’s really cool to see how many people appreciate the work we put into the channel😊 thanks again
The best video i've seen on the outback , But i do have one question , On the moon roof ? Does the back part of the roof also Tilt up ? Or only slide all the back open ?
Great video, very informative. I am in the process of getting this model and I appreciate all the great information. I am pretty sure that they have 18" wheels not 19". Keep up the good work. Cheers!
Hi Victor, Thanks for this great video. I have question for the seat cushion, did you find that there is almost no cushion or cushion is so hard in the seats and it feels like rock on the back, even it does not feel comfortable on thighs and hips?
Hi Prashant, thanks for reaching out and watching my review. In my experience I’ve found Honda and Toyota’s seats to be hard like park benches. The Outback seats are not like that at all. They have a 10 way adjustment so you can find your perfect level of comfort. I think you’ll be happy with the cushion. You should go to your local dealer and sit in one and play around with the buttons.
You are funny and very informative! Thanks! The toll hook, fantastic, no other video has ever mentioned it! You can't change the battery on your key-fob yourself?
Victor: Nice tutorial for new Subaru owner. My wife’s Subaru Outback Touring model defaults to radio (on) every time engine turns on despite previously being turned ( off). This is most annoying and safety issue when radio noise is NOT wanted. Is there a work around to disable radio from turning on when starting engine? Many thanks!!
Excellent video Victor. I'm about to leave my 2002 Liberty Subie 267000 km behind and head off in a new car, Tossing up between XV Forester and Outback. V hard to choose!
We have 100 acres of mountain wilderness with no formed roads into it (in Australia) but live in a city so whichever car has to be comfortable but rugged. We'll probably eventually get a forester for my husband's main car and I might prefer the xv, although the cargo space after the wonderful Liberty's will be v tight. I won't miss scraping the bottom of the car on driveway exits! Gotta love the clearance :) What do you think about the XV (I think it's Crosstrek in the US). I'm not tall so maybe the Outback would be too big....
Bron King - Yeah, they used to be called the Crosstrek XV. I think in 2015 or 16 they dropped the XV and now it’s just Crosstrek. To me the Crosstrek a little on the small side. It’s literally the same car as an Impreza. The Forester is probably my favorite Subaru. Keep in mind though coming from the Liberty the Outback is going to give you comparable cargo space. If you do go with a Crosstrek or Forester. Pick up a basket for the top of your car. I went from an Outback to a WRX and SUPER missed my cargo space.
@@Only9mm You may freak out the sales man but find an open parking lot for you to crank the wheel all the way to the left and hold it in the locked position. Then give it a little gas and make a few revalution to check out how tight the turning radius is. It's super tight! Which is great because it makes them super easy to park when you're in busy parking lots like Costco, Target or Wal-Mart! Have fun!
Great video and you're definitely a good seller as well (lol)... I would like to suggest, if you have already planned to make a video, please do not use auto ISO and please take off a little contrast to the video so that the darker areas don't look too dark.. Please. It's really annoying when the exposure is set for the whites on the outside and you don't get to see all the details on the product (whatever it is). Keep it up, i agree with all the other coments that mentioned this is one hell of a review video! Cheers.
Daniel, thank you so much dude. One of my best friends is a short film maker and he gave me a good two hour ear beating on ISO and white balance. This is my first video shot with my new DSLR. I'm still working all the kinks out with my camera and audio equipment. I just bought a lavalier mic for the Ascent video that I'm shooting in a couple of weeks. Thank you for your feedback I appreciate your willingness to help.
How do you increase the sound of the back-up sonar alarm? How do you set the speed warning alert for visual display on the dash if going over speed limit of the road you are on?
He is just a wizard at this. If every Subaru dealer has a “Viktor” like him, sales would skyrocket with Outbacks all around.
Man this guy is good!
This is the most thorough review on a vehicle ever ! Great video!
I’m glad it served you well, good sir!
You deserve a RUclips OSCAR🏆🥇
J.A. Jones lol Thank You! 🙏
This video is SO good and so informative that you need to pull it, fix the audio, and re-upload.
Probably THE BEST video I've seen about the Outback. You provide a LOT of useful info that no one else mentions. Thanks!
I just bought a 2019 Outback and I learned more from this video than reading the giant Subaru manual. Include this video with every Outback!! I’M TALKING TO YOU SUBARU! Great job Victor Bravo, keep it up.
You are too KIND! Thank you.

All Subaru sales people should view this.
diana ray Hi good morning, Diana.
You’re very welcome! I’m glad you found it informative. And I agree every Subaru Sales consultant should watch my walk arounds😊
Great Video. You covered all the main points. Please please please fix the audio and reload the video. We love it 😊😊😊
Phenomenal overview. The dealers don't even give you this kind of walkthrough anymore. 👍
You just qualified me to be a Sabaru car sales person! You’re energy and knowledge are contagious!
Xiomi🌺 awhh thank you, Xiomi. 🙏 Are you looking to buy an Outback?
Great video!!! Also love how clear your audio is. Perfect!!
+OffRoad thank you kindly
This is the BEST description of the devices on the Outback! Nicely done Victor!
Richard Jimenez Thank you for watching and leaving a comment. It really helps our channel😊
This is an excellent deep dive into the Outback. Great attitude, production, and lots of detail. Love it.
The outback looks good in white.
Heck yeah!

Excellent overview of the car. Only problem is the audio, hard to hear in some spots.
Been in the market for a used Subaru and this video was very helpful. You’re very knowledgeable and did your homework.
Subaru is lucky to have you as their rep.
I learned more from you than from the salesman at my local Subaru dealer.
Fantastic video
Good video but for some reason the volume was limited. I had my lap top volume at full and had to use cc in order to get all the info. Yes, checked with husband and not my lap top or hearing at fault
He knows his Subies!
+DrDennis77 Do you have one?
I went to 2 Subaru dealers last weekend and I only wished they showed me the car like this. If I do buy an Outback is because of you, Victor.
Thank you Alessio for your kind words. Don't let bonehead salesmen deter you from buying the best car in the market.

Best video of the outback! Thank you for that
Great break down of all the features
Same Fly Thank you for watching and leaving a comment I appreciate you!
Just bought a 2019 Outback 2 days ago and this video was wonderful and very informative. I'm loving my subi
Kari Delacour congratulations! 🎉🎈🎊 What color did you get?
@@VictorBravocarsales Besides the color of the leather on the touring what other differences are there between the outback and the touring pkg? TY

I like the way how you presented all the functions of the car and its usage... how I wish to have one ...
This is the BEST review video of the Outback in all RUclips!
*I dare someone that can find me a better video than this*
EXCELLENT job my friend 👌👌👌👌

very in depth review, probably the best on the internet, the only problem was it was a little quiet, might just be me but dang, that was really in depth
Eu sou do Brasil e achei miito , muito interessante sua apresentação. Parabens
I am brasiliam people and i thing very interesting your explanation. Congratulation
best video I've seen about this car
Thank you for doing this video. My parents are in the market for a Subaru. I showed them this video and you convinced them to buy this car. Not even the car salesperson went into the important details like you did. Thanks again ! Great video. Keep up the good work. I just subscribed to your channel.
That's so awesome to hear. Thank you for sharing your story with me. Thank you for your subscription I appreciate you!
Excellent tour. One thing, "cubic feet" and "square feet" are two different measurements. You were saying "cubic square feet."
Thank you for making this video. It is everything I was looking for when learning about the car.
Excellent! Very informative. Thank you!
Lama thank you for your feedback😊
Excellent stuff - wall to wall information (all heard AOK!), no unnecessary razzmatazz. Been driving Scooby's for years, picking up a 2018 OB next week. Great job (inc the bit where you slide out from under it😁). Thanks..
What do you think about the 2020 Outbacks??
Victor Bravo, You excel all expectations in your Subaru reviews. Thank you.
Victor, Great video, have my Outback for three weeks now, What I would really like to see is an in depth video on the operation of the Tom Tom Navigation system. getting to different functions when driving and what can't be done while driving. All the different options/settings, etc.
Ronald Lippman thank you for the video suggestion. 👍🏼 a few people have messaged me about the Navi as well. I’ll break all that down in the near future.
Just got my first Outback today! Learned a lot from this,Thanks! 🤗
Thank you so much for doing such a great video, very informative, one of the bests I've seen.
Thanks for watching 🤓
This video is delicious... Been researching a new Subaru purchase and this video may have pushed me over the edge. I want to come buy a car from you now!!! Great job!!
Scotty B you should- I’ll treat you better than you’ve ever been treated. On top of that i got the best test drive on this side of the Mississippi!
😊
Victor, I wish I could have taken you up on your offer but I made a purchase a couple weeks ago. 2018 Outback 3.6R Touring, my first Black car. Living in Wisconsin, it would have been a long drive to make a purchase... I'm always up for a road trip, so you never know.... maybe I'll come visit in the new Subaru!! This video did play a role in my final decision!! That I can tell you!!
Great video! The sound quality was a bit low - however, not sure if it was our computer or not though. Thanks again!
I'm a week or so away from getting a 2018 Forester 2.0XT Premium. Thanks for all your videos.
Jonathan Thomas that’s what i want to get is the XT Forester. What color you getting?
You may think it boring, but I'm going for the Crystal Black Silica. I'm am a little confused though, the MSRP on Subaru site says $29,495, but my dealership has a tag of $31,000, then state they discounted down to about $29,495. It is a stock 2.0XT Premium without extras. Are they messing around? Any tips for negotiation? I already have financing established, so that's not an issue. You looking at Premium or Touring?
Jonathan Thomas the MSRP on XT premiums are $31 and change. At $29,495 they’re probably $500 over invoice.
Ahhh. Any advice on trying to get a lower price? It's been on their lot for a month now. Thanks.
best review video i’ve seen. you’re awesome.
I know it’s not really relevant but could you make a video like this about the SG Forester (pre facelift if you can) I would love to see you explain different points why it is different from its opponents in those years...awesome video and I like your enthusiasm in your examples and explanations :)
this is like the best video ever!!
A GAME thank you for commenting - I appreciate your feedback!
Can't hear.
I watch 1 video and I am already a fan like 5 minutes in and ht the subscribe button , damn now I have to watch all your videos. Very well made and very informative, you are a master reviewer dude. With some more effort you can be in the same league as DougDeMuro or MKBHD. Wish your channel all the best and wish more videos were made like this.
Prashant Khanolkar thaaaaaaaaank you so much for your kind words. It’s comments like this that keep me motivated to keep making videos. I appreciate your subscription and feedback!
very detail, thank you
Nikki Tangtiphongkul you’re very welcome, Nikki❤️
Wow!!! Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. You did an awesome job and I enjoyed it thoroughly, very helpful. You also remind me of a much younger version of my favorite character in Flash Gordon (circa 1980) - Prince Vultan aka Hawk-man. Cool! :-)
Victoria Rose Bless your soul for saying such sweet things. I’m glad I was able to help you make whatever choice it is you decide to make. I will say this, I’d give up a pinky toe to have a pair of Hawk-Man’s wings😎
Awesome video! Very informative! Make sure you are in your car when watching this video. Very helpful!
Bill W Thank you for stopping by, Bill. I always tell my customers to watch this video while you’re sitting in the car.
Thank you. I couldn’t figure out CarPlay and this video helped! Great info
You’re very welcome, Chandra! I’m glad you found it useful❤️
Wow. This was great. I like my 2018 Outback even more. COOL!
Put together well, but can't hear you at all.
Good video 👍 but why is the volume so low?
Great video! Thank you!
o_0 vivi You’re very welcome. Did you come across this video to learn more about your Outback or are you thinking about getting one?
@@VictorBravocarsales I just purchased one a couple weeks ago. I needed to refresh my memory on all the little things it has & what they do. Thanks
I would love to see one of these on the Forester!
Very nice video, Victor!
Uthman Khawn island 🌴 has to do this is
Harvinder Sandhu thank you 🙏
The best review I've seen. Well done.
Woooohooo! Thank you for your feedback.
And ya know what? We went out and bought one. Wow. What great car. I looked at all the top "similar" vehicles from Range Rover on down. I would prefer this over anything else on the road. Thanks.
David Bolger lol David you are officially a Subaru snob. Welcome to the club!
Excellent review of the outlander, because of this video my wife and I decided to get the outlander instead of the forester which we were about to buy, will subscribe
You are awesome Friend and the way you explained the features mind shattering 👍👍👍👍
Awwhh Thank you so much Srinivas! I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Victor, excellent video. My wife and I are fans of Toyota because of their reliability and low maintenance. We're considering an Outback right now but my question is whether you would advise going with the 2.5i, 3.6, or waiting to see if they do a turbo engine in 2020?
Matthew Barnes Hi Matt, Duuuuuuude this is a super hard question for me to answer because I’m so excited for the new Outback w/a turbo. Our current gen Outback is damn near perfect. If you do go with a 2019 I would definitely go with a four cylinder. The 250 HP on the 3.6R is amazing but the higher cost and fuel economy make it hard to justify when the capability of the 2.5i is so good. I know this isn’t much help but keep me posted on what you decide😊
Thanks for the video.
A couple of comments/questions: 21:10 Aren't you talking about the Parking brake for stopping at an uphill? 23:31 What about the Japanese? They drive on the opposite side of the road and also have the gas gate on the right side of the car? The filling of the gas on the side of the road sounds good for safety reason. Also, if forces you to be on the opposite side of the car to check tire pressure if no tire sensors.
The placement of the oil filter makes me moist.
sync232 😂
Fabulous video! So thorough!
Thank you❤️
Very detailed and great information about the Outback. I really learned a lot. The volume was a bit of an issue as it was really hard to hear even at full blast. Keep it up man, great job
Really nice video with lots of details. Where is the review for 2019 Ascent Touring ;)
Vikas Dangwal it’s coming soon! Thank you for watching and leaving a comment. It really helps the channel😊
VERY informative! Never knew about the pull bar! And the drain plug under the spare tire! "Very cool". :)
Thank you for your feedback Chad!
Damn! Dude knows his stuff!
Awesome review! However might I recommend a lapel mic next time. You got muffled a number of times.
excellent video thank you for so much detail the Subaru has always been a favorite of mine the Outback especially most detailed video I think I have ever seen on the instrumentation and gadgets on the Outback thank you again excellent job
Danny Warren awh Danny, thank you so much for your kind words. I really appreciate you taking the time to leave me a comment. It really helps the channel. The next video we’re working on is the Subaru Crosstrek! There’s only two other people that help me make these videos so it takes us longer because of the amount of detail we go through. It’s really cool to see how many people appreciate the work we put into the channel😊 thanks again
The best video i've seen on the outback , But i do have one question , On the moon roof ? Does the back part of the roof also Tilt up ? Or only slide all the back open ?
Great video, very informative. I am in the process of getting this model and I appreciate all the great information. I am pretty sure that they have 18" wheels not 19". Keep up the good work. Cheers!
Amazing man, that was awesome man, I was really surprised seeing this video full on man. Thanks for sharing this video really helpfull.
Hi Victor, Thanks for this great video.
I have question for the seat cushion, did you find that there is almost no cushion or cushion is so hard in the seats and it feels like rock on the back, even it does not feel comfortable on thighs and hips?
Hi Prashant, thanks for reaching out and watching my review. In my experience I’ve found Honda and Toyota’s seats to be hard like park benches. The Outback seats are not like that at all. They have a 10 way adjustment so you can find your perfect level of comfort. I think you’ll be happy with the cushion. You should go to your local dealer and sit in one and play around with the buttons.
You are funny and very informative! Thanks! The toll hook, fantastic, no other video has ever mentioned it! You can't change the battery on your key-fob yourself?
Victor:
Nice tutorial for new Subaru owner. My wife’s Subaru Outback Touring model defaults to radio (on) every time engine turns on despite previously being turned ( off). This is most annoying and safety issue when radio noise is NOT wanted. Is there a work around to disable radio from turning on when starting engine? Many thanks!!
Hi Larry, I would schedule an appointment with your service department. I’m pretty sure there’s a software update to correct that issue.
Excellent video Victor. I'm about to leave my 2002 Liberty Subie 267000 km behind and head off in a new car, Tossing up between XV Forester and Outback. V hard to choose!
Bron King Dude, that’s a tough decision to make. Which one are you leaning towards?
We have 100 acres of mountain wilderness with no formed roads into it (in Australia) but live in a city so whichever car has to be comfortable but rugged. We'll probably eventually get a forester for my husband's main car and I might prefer the xv, although the cargo space after the wonderful Liberty's will be v tight. I won't miss scraping the bottom of the car on driveway exits! Gotta love the clearance :) What do you think about the XV (I think it's Crosstrek in the US). I'm not tall so maybe the Outback would be too big....
Hey I just went to your channel and found the xv and forester reviews - thanks I'm off to watch them! Cheers
Bron King - Yeah, they used to be called the Crosstrek XV. I think in 2015 or 16 they dropped the XV and now it’s just Crosstrek.
To me the Crosstrek a little on the small side. It’s literally the same car as an Impreza. The Forester is probably my favorite Subaru. Keep in mind though coming from the Liberty the Outback is going to give you comparable cargo space. If you do go with a Crosstrek or Forester. Pick up a basket for the top of your car. I went from an Outback to a WRX and SUPER missed my cargo space.
Does it have a built in garage door opener?
PaP it sure does. It’s called Homelink😊👍🏼
@@VictorBravocarsales thats good to know, ill be test driving one tomorrow, thank you
@@Only9mm You may freak out the sales man but find an open parking lot for you to crank the wheel all the way to the left and hold it in the locked position. Then give it a little gas and make a few revalution to check out how tight the turning radius is. It's super tight! Which is great because it makes them super easy to park when you're in busy parking lots like Costco, Target or Wal-Mart! Have fun!
@@VictorBravocarsales thats a great idea, im going to put it thru the ringer, thank uou again, best of luck to you
Great video and you're definitely a good seller as well (lol)... I would like to suggest, if you have already planned to make a video, please do not use auto ISO and please take off a little contrast to the video so that the darker areas don't look too dark.. Please. It's really annoying when the exposure is set for the whites on the outside and you don't get to see all the details on the product (whatever it is). Keep it up, i agree with all the other coments that mentioned this is one hell of a review video! Cheers.
Daniel, thank you so much dude. One of my best friends is a short film maker and he gave me a good two hour ear beating on ISO and white balance. This is my first video shot with my new DSLR. I'm still working all the kinks out with my camera and audio equipment. I just bought a lavalier mic for the Ascent video that I'm shooting in a couple of weeks. Thank you for your feedback I appreciate your willingness to help.
Victor Bravo my pleasure man!. Can't wait to see what you're up to next time!
How do you set navigation to show traffic, accidents, etc.
How do you increase the sound of the back-up sonar alarm? How do you set the speed warning alert for visual display on the dash if going over speed limit of the road you are on?
