Had 4 outbacks,a 2006,2015,2220,and now a 2024 outback premium,in Autumn green metallic,as a 75 year old ,who has driven a lot of junks,these cars are heaven!

My wife and I picked up a 2024 Premium about 6 weeks ago. We live in the U.P. of Michigan where we normally get a ton of snow. So far, we love our Outback!

I like the gas tank on the passenger side, can usually slide right in and get gas while others are lined up for the drivers side tank. Would have liked the auto lift gate, otherwise am very happy with our first Subaru!

Ordered my Premium today! Didn't need all the extras, just wanted the larger display.

I like how Subie puts the amber light for Blind Spot alert on the inside of the mirror housing, not in the far corner of the mirror itself, like most every other car. They could go even better by putting the alert light on the inside of the door's vent glass, much like my 2016 Acura MDX.

Thanks so much for the review! I live in the PNW. I bought metallic gray w gray interior subaru outback 2024 premium, option 15 package 2 days ago. I still don't know how to work all the bells and whistles. I got the dog seat cover for the back seat, all weather mats and all weather mats for the back of the back seat, so when you put it down, they are protected from my big ol muddy golden retriever after our adventures;) I traded in a 2010 nissan altima that had 196,000 miles on it that I bought brand new. I am hoping to get 200-300,00 miles on this subaru. Pros and Cons so far for me. Pros-I almost ran into a vehicle the day I bought it and the safety braking system saved my ass! BIG PRO! love the color. The ride is really nice and smooth over speed bumps, hardly feel them. I am 5'10 and I fit very comfortably in it and so does my 80 pound golden, Kimchi. We haven't slept in it yet but plan on it and we will both comfortably fit with the seats down. The roof rack has retractable cross bars with the push of a button. Major selling point. When not using the cross bars for a SUP or Kayak, I can retract them since having it all set up affects gas mileage. Cons-cup holders in the middle are small, coming from an Altima. I cannot fit a hyrdoflask or a big mason jar with my smoothie. Would've been nice to have a cup insert that comes out to make it bigger. Guess I will have to purchase a thinner, taller water container. Glove box is extremely small and with the owner's manual in it (which is huge), not much room to put anything else in it. Center console storage is way smaller than what I am used to also....guess that will help me even more with my minimalist lifestyle;) Floor is black so golden retriever hair really shows up, do not know if any other option would have been available. I was looking for a 2023 but was hard to find, so got this one.

That’s very exciting for you and Kimchi! Big upgrade over the aging Nissan, especially for the activities you enjoy. For light weight objects like SUP and Kayaks the factory bars are perfect and very convenient. Goldens are the best, one was our family dog when I was growing up. Thanks for watching! 🙂

I paid a little over 35 which include the back dog seat cover and the all weather mats that go on the back of the backseat so when the seats are down, my muddy dog won't mess up the back of the eats. How much are you paying and what color are you getting? Something to let you know in case you don't already-first 1,000 miles or so get really crappy gas mileage. I mentioned it to the dealership and they said that is normal while the car is breaking in. Also, try to avoid hard braking, quick acceleration etc during the first few thousand miles...you really want to baby it at first. @@wendymeulemans708

I get that! Thanks for watching, and briefly sharing your experience with the 2014.

New car prices are out of control. I'm done paying ridiculous amounts of money for new cars. However, I'm THRILLED with my new 2024 Chevrolet Trailblazer LS. And I didn't even get the RS because it's $5000.00 more. Thank you very much!

I just ordered a 2024 Outback Premium in the blue color. I’m trading in my 2022 Forester Premium. About the only way you can get a basic premium is to order it as the dealers do not tend to have basic trim levels on the lot. The only options I got were the floor mats and seat back protector. I wanted the 17 inch wheels, which are the same size as my snow tires. I did not want the push button start, the power lift tailgate, the sunroof, and was able to order the car exactly as I wanted it which was nice. Thanks for reviewing the premium model which very seldom gets reviewed. 👍

I would have loved the 2.4T.. Minnesota winters and short errand driving would have been really hard on it. Plus the added cost ruled it out for me. It's not very often that I wish I had it anymore. 2.5 is good enough. 2.4 is still more fun though...

To my understanding, that is correct. Although I have only heard of one system going out on one of the models forums.

Interesting, for the 2024 Outback, only the Touring trim gets the latest 3 camera eyesight safety system, but if you buy an Impreza, all trim levels for 2024 get the 3 camera eyesight system. Guess the Subaru people don't think all things in life have to make good sense. 😊
