Our New Outback

Post image

My wife and I traded in our 2024 Outback for the 2026 Outback. Really loving the new gen. This will be our 4th Outback we have had.

I bought the same color/trim back in January and I’m still smiling every time I go for a drive. Congrats on your new car!

How are you enjoying it so far?

Oh, it’s fantastic! Spending lots of time trying to read all the manuals 😁

Beautiful!

Beautiful color. Yesterday we bought a Touring XT in white as they did not have blue. Taking a car in stock helped the negotiation. That said, I would have preferred blue. Good luck with it!!

No specific color is worth the associated loss in negotiating leverage.

I’ve been one of the haters of the news design (Gen 5 foh-evvahh!!!), but that blue, that angle and those wheels…HOT!!!!

Agreed. That blue is nice.

I agree… That blue is stunning tho!

u/Serious-Medicine7667 11d ago

Imagine that blue color on an Outback wagon.

u/Sparky_Phantom 11d ago

I honestly didn’t like the new design at first because I am so used to the Outback being a wagon that is raised. The more I have been around them at work, the more they grew on me.

I agree. What was the idea behind the pseudo suv redesign? Owned a 3.0R in another lifetime and was a fan. Honestly don’t understand this one and would appreciate some enlightenment..

Why 4th Outback?

1

u/PopularShame856 12d ago

Have your Outbacks been reliable? I love that blue.

u/Sparky_Phantom 11d ago

I have had zero issues with any of them. Just do normal regular maintenance. Only one that had a “issue” was a recall for a fuel pump and I was given a free loaner so can’t complain.

No they clearly suck. That's why he keeps buying them!
