The end had me in tears for how poetic the description of this car is.

See I love this era of cars. It's like, halfway electronic, with radio, windows and all. But no stupid complicated infotainment, stupid cruise control and lane-keeping assist that you can't turn off. And a proper gearbox. Love it

my black 06 outback just got totaled in a not-at-fault accident. she just got towed away today after 17 years of service (almost hit 200k mi). brings tears to my eyes watching this. what an accurate description of why I've loved but also have been totally peeved by this car all these years. rugged and ready for anything is the perfect way to describe it, along with the ending tag. thank you

I have 2008 Outback and you really summed it up well! Actually you made me appreciate my Outback even more, thank you for that.

I just got my first Subaru and is a 2007 Outback man and I'm in love with this Wagon! The way you put it in words was perfect!!

The wingman 🥺 I was about to cry🤣🤣💕

Traded in my 2008 Impreza Outback Sport a year and a half ago. The car has 180,000 miles but was still zippy and reliable. Basically the perfect city car. I upgraded to an Audi Allroad, which I love, but my financial situation has worsened in the last year, so I'm considering going back to this gen of Subarus. They really are the best bang for your buck.

Dude the way you described the outback in the end just made me want to buy one 💯 You do amazing work keep uploading🙏🏽

Amazing review. Thanks for taking a look at older cars like this one.

Great review. Just bought a 2006 Outback, my first Subaru and much to my surprise I love it...it is not just outback it is background. Every great feature and top tier mechanical edge is right there doing its' thing perfectly without ego. I am singing the chorus to your excellent and poetic review. The car and review form a masterpiece...unique and full up.

What an incredible review. I'm researching because my work does not accept call-offs for snow

I got my wife one of these. It's lovely honestly, the best inbetweener car ever really. Turns out also some years the XT wasn't the turbocharged engine. I was surprised when i looked at one and had no turbo lol

First time watching one of your reviews! You’re awesome man!

You made a great video for the 2006 Subaru review, love the take home.

I love this review kick ass dude!!! You analyzed it perfectly👌👌

I like Subaru. They are very discrete but comfortable, and I like that they still have personality in a sea of bland crossovers. Nearly every car is the same, but at least the Outback has a personality about it. I have a 2012 2.5i Limited and it's been great. It's very comfortable to live with and the insurance cost is very low. The resale value is amazing as well. They are not very fashionable, or fast, but they are practical, easy to live with, and my car has some nice added features like a sunroof, a good Harmon/Kardon sound system, dual-zone climate control, bluetooth, navigation, backup camera, heated seats, and my favorite feature of all, the windows go all the way down. Sure it's no BMW or Mercedes with rims, but I like it because it's not so much of a show-off in-your-face type of car. It just gets on with whatever task you have for it and it does it well.

What the hell. I watched this as I’m looking into getting an 08 outback. I have a 04 bmw 545i and wanted something a little bigger for me to daily as I have a 3 year old girl now. While we get her mother the larger family vehicle I wanted something in the middle to haul my daughter and her things. Watching this made me picture taking her camping. Hiking. Road trips. Back road drives in the country since we live in texas. You worded it so eloquently. And have gained my subscription. Good work man. Keep fighting the good fight. 😂🎉

That was a fantastic review and made me solidify my decision to buy a 2006 outback. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!! I totally subscribed

HA this was as good as it gets so well done sir... i have had a 96 97 98 99 and now 08 not a bad wagon to have for the colder climates and just the right size, and you are so right on that outbacks lead you to the great outdoors frame of mind

I’ve never can explain why I love my Outback so much compared to what I’ve had before it, that ending summed it up pretty good for me

I love the your work man. Recently discovered your channel and the content is superb!

I just bought one yesterday. Then I saw this review Its on point!! amazing man! This is an awesome review bro! Keep it up.

Genuinely think this must be one of the best car reviews i have ever watched.

i grew up with not one but simultaneously two of these, and a 1st gen outback as well. one of my favorite cars ever.

Dude I just copped this less than a week ago in hella good condition. This makes me feel better about my purchase.

i love your discription of it but i have to say when it does "focus" on its self and you push it. it handles like a champ. the 06 outback is my current and second car (she's my logo) and i focus solely on it and its everything i love the engine transmission and the ride are all 10x better than what youd expect from a 170hp 4 speed wagon no matter what happens to it i will always own it

You my friend just convinced me to choose this car over Lexus RX. I test drove both today and will be making the purchase tomorrow!

Great video Thansk👍🏾

Awesome video dude!

Great review I am on my third one of these and my wife has one too I have a 3 L and I think they’re the best car in the world my wife’s car 2.5 is now got 200+ thousand miles drives like a dream again thanks for the review it was honest👏🇬🇧

You filmed this in and around downers Grove! I can tell because you drove past the Belmont Station and down Ogden by the car lots off of Main

The outback got you there 😂 Somebody needs to get this kid in contact with Subaru

Thank God I have my wing man lol I love my 06 outback , perfect family car

Love my little suburu outback. It's gone up steep sand dunes, helped my mates move houses multiple times, I sleep in the back on camp trips, it's the car that takes everyone's stuff on camp trips, towed trailers, gone down rocky roads and survived long trips. Best car I've bought.

Just got my first 06 wagon, can’t wait

You got me in the final thoughts review

I drive an '05 Outback and I am in love with it. It only has 100k miles on it so I will drive it until it cannot anymore. Also lover your review but the rear seats actually do have a functional cupholder.

Me watching this while sitting in my 2006 legacy wagon: huh very interesting

Nice cozy windshield-wiper heaters to curl up with in the winter with the frameless windows too

I ahve this car for 6 years and I love what it can do and do with grace and reliability.

I own a 06/2006 2.5i outback with a 1owner/89.4k miles on it and man, had been running her since 2016 and she's a fucking tank! In all honesty, this car is my version of the miata cult. I can tell you that my neighbors and a school bus were pulled out of snow banks by her and I'll definitely grab another one or rebuild the one I have now.

in the australian version we miss the heated seats but we do get flip out cupholders in the back of the center console

Wow---I love this review--soooo much

im honestly sold after your review now i just need to test drive one and see if i can fit my drums and gear to gig with my band

Good review. Thinking about buying a 2007 outback 2.5 with 111,000 miles

Strangely enough, I am looking at buying a 2005 OB. Same configuration with the 2.5 sohc and 4 speed auto. I have a 2004 Liberty as well but want to do some camping and also be able to put things in the boot. Thanks for the video.

I have a 06 as well! I got it in December I LOVE it . Only has 146,000 miles on it. I will drive it until I can’t anymore LOL.

As a 16 year old driver that just bought a 2007 2.5b manual, this is the perfect first car. Very roomy, seats for friends and family, fun to drive. Only regret: i didn't but the turbo outback XT. never the less, love this thing

i got a 06 outback and i’m in love ❤️

subaru is love , thanks for sharing

As a "librarian" with a 2.0 16 valve,165bhp Legacy wagon here in the uk, I can say that there is a big difference between the Legacy and the Outback, apart from ride height. The chassis and body of the Outback are specifically strengthened to go offroad. Subaru say that the Legacy is not. I have had Subaru legacies for nearly 30 years now and they are great cars. My current Legacy is 16 years old and just run in with 115,000 miles on the clock. I have had it from new and it has been almost faultless.

This video was absolutely beautiful

I drive the 07 outback and it's my favorite. I love what he said at 9:51

I love my 2008 Outback 3.0r, i will always keep it.

First car was a 2006 Subaru Outback and absolutely loved it and can’t wait to get another one.

Sell me a pen! I’ll buy whatever you sell bro! This is good stuff!

I have a 2006 legacy outback. Do you know how that differs with just an outback

Great review. There's one of these for sale by a mechanic I know near me, I'm thinking of buying it. 140,000 miles, new tires, brakes, water pump, hoses, timing belt. $3,500.

I love my 09 legacy 3.0R 😌 Somewhat as rare if not more than the spec b.. It has some sti goodies from the factory like the bilsteins. It's been Solid from 80k and now sitting at 135k. Sure it's more thirsty and has less torque than the GT but I prefer the reliability. It's plenty quick enough thou I wish we got the manual versions other countries got. Damn you subaru lol 🥲 They also had sti tuned gts with even more goodies to add salt to wound lol.

Dude I just sold mine today after putting 50 thousand miles on it, and I cried bro I went on so many adventures and beat the fuck out of it. She took me from Maine to Miami and everywhere between I’ll never forget her and her wooden wheel.

Just bought one, my Miata a 2nd car became my default daily because ... Covid. I need the opposite of an NC mx-5 on a budget ... Four doors, 5 passengers easy load cargo space ... And most of all a seat that can recline.

Hi, I am getting a 2006 Subaru Outback…170000 KM done is it worth taking it?

Hi can you do a 2007 ls460👍

Just got an 08 outback with 129k in amazing condition! I will be pulling my popup camper everywhere!

You should drive the Outback XT with MT 5spd! Everything you said way more fun! Only downside is MPG suffers...

i saw one at $3,599 i think it is an exelent deal, btw the end was very poetic lol

Base manual legacy with proper sport tires is a beast on snow or dry. Those who say it is a librarian car are giving false advice. Legacy is just unique because it is a great neutral car but if you push it is... great.

first time watching you, enjoyed your video. enjoyed your poetry. greetings from Juarez, Mexico. Feliz dia, amigo.

How fast does it accelerate? 0-60 in what?

If you know, you know.

Actually the gen after had both a cvt and a 5 speed auto called 5EAT .....allow with the impreza

Hey man, I am in Australia and am thinking about purchasing one. Does the car have inbuilt Bluetooth speakers?

Good review... wonder how low the views are!

Currently have 209K miles on our '06 Outback... very easy to DIY and is an absolute beast. Last year when I was replacing brake fluid (around 200K miles) and pumping the pedal to cycle the fluid through the lines - brake fluid leaked all over the driveway.. Had a rupture due to corrosion on a 4-way line connector near the rear passenger side of the undercarriage. Towed to the dealer and Subaru replaced ... EVERYTHING... free of charge. Hope I can get another 200K out of my new brake lines ! Sure I leak a little oil here and there... but replace with conventional every 3-4K miles and no problem.

I have a 2009 outback with 54k miles. plan on keeping it bone stock and in good shape for the next 40 years or so since its the only modern car I feel I can handle. All the other modern cars are annoying and get in the way of driving in general. The outback is a new car with new cars amenities but with the spirit of a car from the 80s. The next best thing is my grandpa owned it so its already a family treasure.

This is love

Subscribed for you bud. Hope it helps. Just loved the video. Don't need the car reviews really.

Well now I feel like I should wash my Outback...

The 5-speed auto (5EAT) was only on the 2.5XT (Turbo) and the 3.0R (Flat-6). 2.5i only got a 4-spd auto or 5-speed manual. XT also got the 5-speed manual. 3.0R only got the 5EAT.

I found an 2006 subaru with 164k mile selling for 4k. Apparently really well maintained. Could it be a good buy? I don't care about cars, I just want them to take me place without breaking every time.

Damn it David I’m crying now

I'm getting one after this 😅

I would love to get me one but i dont know bout that CVT

Subaru ❤️

Wouldn't the Forester be a more capable "off-road designed" vehicle than the Outback ? By the way, I like more the general design of the Outback than the Forester....

I am ready to cry in the comments. That ending made me buy 6.

Is a 2006 subaru outback with 180k a smart move for a used car at present?

My 2008 is a family member 🐶🐶🐶🚙💨

SOOO do you love it ? hate ? 1-10 what do you rate it

You know, I’ve really thought about buying one of these. But an XT 😀

review tip: this particular car is almost poorest equipment of US Outback B13

LOL at "a Legacy is something a librarian drives to work".

Are you sure there's no aux on this model? was that added on the 2007?

As for "Outback was a package, you could get it on the WRX" - that's because WRX was a package, too! For a while, Subaru made only two "models" of car (for the US) - the Impreza and the Legacy. Every other "vehicle" was just a package/trimline of the Impreza or the Legacy. Even the early model Forester was just an Impreza with a more extreme "Outback" package. I just thought it especially odd when they marketed both the "Outback" and the "Outback Sport" - you'd think the "Sport" was just a higher trimline, or a sportier trimline of the "Outback". But no. The plain-Outback was a Legacy with the Outback package, the Outback Sport was an Impreza with the Outback package! Heck, when they discontinued the "Outback Sport," they replaced it with the "XV Crosstrek" which is itself just a "more offroady" newer model Impreza.

It's about enjoying your trip to needless kill animals, not about the car that got you there.

Not a 4 speed it's a 5 speed auto,mate you drove it how would you not know this?

Збс👍суба

Trust me, the windows freeze shut, the door freeze shut

Trust me from experience, the issues will come

I think I'll go with the Outback so I didn't have to change professions to a Librarian :)
