I have the 2017 Outback 3.6R and it's far nicer than what's being described here.... The CVT by Subaru is rock solid, if you don't beat on it and it's well maintained!! The paddle shifters are great for hard mountain driving!! FYI, turn off all traction-control devices if you get stuck, or run in very deep snow, or sand and vehicle will pull itself and others out very efficiently. Lastly the newer CVTs' are even better for off-road and towing trailers.... New internls, software and final-drive gear is much, much better. Biggest regret, is the idiots discontinued the V6 ... Now like several other car companies, they turbo charge and over work a little 2.4 Cy 2.4

V6?

Subaru 3.6R 256 H.P. 247 Lbs ft. torque. These boxer engines are also quite a bit lighter than "V" or inline type engines. The engine cases are thin walled castings instead of a solid block, and perfect primary balance allows for a crankshaft without large counterweights.

@Misticzerx0r 3 года назад

Thanks for the review! Any chance you can let me know if you're still happy with the car and if reliability has still been good?

@fubartotale3389 3 года назад

I dont know about other cars, but Subarus Adaptive Cruise and Eyesight system are just plain excellent.

@tjsloyan Год назад

To each their own but I HATE it. I never use it and wish it would default the other way. It's way too safe. Using it in Chicago traffic doesn't work well. I generally turn off all the electronic controlling BS

@Erik0914 5 лет назад

I have this car. Watch that oil changes get enough oil back into the car. Mechanics may get used to putting 5 quarts in as needed by the 4 cylinder where the 3.6 capacity is 6.9 quarts. Love the car.

@IRWAutomotive 5 лет назад

Erik Miles that’s one reason why I do my own oil changes!

@johnpiotrowski3108 2 года назад

I have the 2017 Touring Outback 3.6R . It just turned 100K. I keep it serviced regularly by the dealership I bought it from. It runs like a charm. I could not be happier. Well,,,,a bit more if they would have included a remote start.....the only option not on it.

@Jetdoc001 5 лет назад

I have the 2017 Outback 3.6R Limited and I love it. If you engage the cruise control then briskly accelerate, the shift points disappear. Just disengage before letting off the peddle as it will try to slow down to the cruise set point.

@IRWAutomotive 5 лет назад

Jet Doctor I have noticed that twice before, and both times I had the cruise set. I’ll have to try it again next time on the highway, it feels faster without the fake shifts

@tomtalker2000 6 лет назад

Shut your traction control off if possible. I have found that works WONDERS in terms of "off the line" speed when you need or want it. I'm not sure if that would work for a CVT like the Subaru or Nissan. But it sure as hell does for my 2014.5 V6 XLE Camry which puts out 268hp. Which is certainly a VERY potent yet underrated and underestimated engine in my honest opinion.

@IRWAutomotive 6 лет назад

You’re right about the V6 Camry being pretty powerful. Though for the Subaru, turning off traction control doesn’t really make a difference because the tires always have traction off the line from the AWD.

@Jason99942 6 лет назад

This is hilarious. Here I was thinking I was watching an Outback 3.6r video, as that's the vehicle I"m interested in.

@deshood3406 5 лет назад

Yes mate, I'm from Australia. 2010 model same, bad road noise. Mine has only done one hundred thousand kilometers, it maybe 10 year old but road noise is annoying, they say because of all wheel drive, and also being a station wagon. Who knows, other than that, love it.

@Hallowsaw 4 года назад

My 2011 legacy 3.6r isnt bad on road noise. Might have something to do with tires, bearings, and the glass. I am soon going to upgrade my legacy to the outback just cause I really could use a trunk. Cant stand suvs(even though it is a wagon) I'm gonna miss my car

@fubartotale3389 3 года назад

My 2018 Outback is really quiet up to 70-80, then just some wind noise.

@MoMo-ve7yq 6 лет назад

@cmmiskovic 6 лет назад

With normal driving, what kind of average MPG do you get? I see wildly varying figures online.

@IRWAutomotive 6 лет назад

It definitely varies for me. If I’m doing mostly inner city driving I get 18-20 MPG. Highway driving I have gotten over 30 MPG, but 27-28 is more realistic.

@neftv1 6 лет назад

When you see the 27-28mpg do you use cruise control alot? Do you drive in inner lane alot to pass traffic? I do that alot. Right now I have 2016outback 2.5 premium I never been able to get over 28 on highway. More like 25-26. Off highway town driving it settles to 23-24mpg My commute to work is 25miles each way 60% of that highway. Im about to get the 2018 OB limited 3.6r. I test drove the 2.5 2018 OB with the refinements on cvt and it seems improved but the 3.6 didn't get that but I want to try the 3.6 this time around. You comments welcome.

@MrDaCharle 6 лет назад

80 city 20% highway I got 19mpg and 25 freeway. I used to have a 2012 3.6 jeep. Grand Cherokee and i thou this was going to b cheaper but i feel the same

@porsche558 6 лет назад

neftv1 I have a 2015 Outback 3.6r and I do about 95% in town driving. I work 15 miles from my house and I get 20mpg. Occasionally I might do 85% in town and 15% in highway and I manage 22 mpg. I totally recommend the 3.6r.

@Hallowsaw 4 года назад

I have a 2011 3.6r with the auto. It is rated at 18city and 25 highway. I use to drive 90/10 highway/city and was getting 28mpg. When I took a 300 mile trip on straight interstates I got 30mpg. However... I live in a city/suburban area now and i only get 18mpg at most and sometimes less. So... city mileage sux on these but highway mileage is actually really good. Btw I use cruise control pretty much every chance I get and I coast a lot to save on gas.

@jstersmithson 5 лет назад

How's the gas mileage with the 3.6R I'm stuck between the 2.5I and the 3.6R I'm worried the 2.5I is gonna be slow and I'm worried the 3.5R is gonna be bad on gas also what is the difference between the 2016 and 2017 Subaru Legacy Limited did a lot change from 2016 to 2017

@IRWAutomotive 5 лет назад

Justin Smith If I do mostly inner city driving I get 18 MPG, but highway cruising I’ve gotten as high as 32 MPG. Combined/suburban driving is usually somewhere in the low-mid 20s, so it really depends on what kind of driving you do. The 2017s with EyeSight got High Beam Assist, Rear Parking Sensors with Auto Braking, which the 2016 doesn’t have. All 2017 Limiteds also came standard with sunroof and and keyless/push button start, which not all 2016s will have.

@jstersmithson 5 лет назад

@@IRWAutomotive sounds the the 3.6R is bad on gas I hoping the 2.5I can average 29 mpg I heard they get 26 city and 38 highway but I also heard the 2.5i is slow as heck and I can't believe the 2016 doesn't have rear backup sensors I guess I try to find a 2017 2.5i Limited

@103eaglecrest 6 лет назад

Accord Sport or Legacy 3.6? Which do you prefer?

@IRWAutomotive 6 лет назад

I don’t think I could choose just one. The Accord is by far more fun to drive and also feels bigger inside, but the usability of Subaru’s AWD in the Legacy I think is unparalleled by any car in its class. In terms of features it’s kind of a draw, although I might argue that an Accord EX-L or Touring 2.0T is more comparable to the Legacy 3.6R Limited. That being said, there’s a reason I own both a newer legacy and an older Accord!

@villasantamaria1 6 лет назад

The LEGACY no question !!!!!!!!!

@4ft3rburn3r 6 лет назад

Good question. I am planning to check out the Accord Touring 2.0T and the Legacy 3.6R. I've driven Accords in the past, and they are nice cars. I haven't driven the Legacies, but having all-wheel drive is a big plus imo.

@MrAndresrolon94 5 лет назад

I took a Subaru over a Honda, I took the 4 cylinder just because I live in LA and traffic sucks so it saves me gas, still runs good though I’m satisfied I get good comments from people about my vehicle.

@lifeisgood070 4 года назад

I've driven both. Accord is way more reliable, way faster, way more mpgs, way better interiors, and less maintence over the vehicles life, oh and the accords with 20k miles were around 17k-21k. The outback 3.6 is usually 25-30k. Why buy an outback then? Ground clearance, awd, roof rack ability, rear seats fold down, very nice trunk. Literally if honda would make an awd hatch back with a roof rack..... ugh. The old subarus were off-road machines. But I think the new ones are limited to around 70hp from a dead stop which makes going uphill and over a large root or rock from 0mph hard. The stick shift versions have np and u can easily put down 100-200hp close to 0mph (not that you need that much).

@alanl9497 5 лет назад

The year is 2020... ...and it’s gone 😞

@tomtalker2000 4 года назад

YUP...!!! And it's the worst mistake Subaru made in my honest opinion. If i decide on an outback it will have to be an older model 2017 probably. Because i just will NOT take the chance on this new turbo they've decided to go with. Many have already stated that the 3.6r has MUCH more power then this new turbo in the 2020 models.
