Well said! Also please, please, please, please give us the turbo version.

I have a March 2016 Diesel Outback which I bought when it was a year old, (ex demo with 4200 miles on the clock). I have had mixed experiences with Subaru dealers within the Southwest. It is now nearly 8 years old with not quite 51,500 miles on it at time of writing, (16/01/24). Lowish mileage, and really nothing for a 2 litre diesel engine. Various dealers have been good, some not quite so. Afters sales service, although not brand new at time of my purchase, has generally been good overall. It's just about to go to a Subaru dealer in Somerset for a service and the cost seems fairly reasonable. Subaru UK replaced the front grill for nothing despite not being on warranty due to the grill 'pitting' and discolouring after a short period of time. In the main, whilst main dealers servicing costs are high, I can't complain too much. If Subaru UK bring out a hybrid or electric version I will be tempted. But, for Petes' sake, (or for the sake of Pete), don't do away with the spare wheel. For a customer who goes off road and gets a puncture, I don't expect a recovery service company would take too kindly to trying to the get to a place where an Outback can reach to hook up a tow rope. Good luck to them if they try.

I also think it's time for a petition to be put in place, preferably by Subaru UK, to establish if they're customers actually want the turbo version. I'd happily sign it.

Mine is on order...my first Scooby.

So after a year Volvo's estates are back. Volvo costumers have gotten what they wanted. Australia Subaru owners wanted the XT version of the Outback, complained about it, a lot, and got it. UK Subaru owners either don't have enough interest in this subject for Subaru UK to take seriously or perhaps its another reason. It's difficult to understand why the UK and EU Subaru offer is so limited in variety when the US and Australia have a huge range.

Just selling my 3 yr old, brought from new, Outback due to a series of problems coupled with very poor support from the dealership network and from Subaru Uk. Subaru appear to be trading on their past reputation for customer support and vehicle reliability.

I've found the Subaru customer care service in the UK (handled by a company called IM Group in Solihull) to be extremely poor. No wonder Subaru sell only about 1000 new cars in the Uk each year. For example. Extortionate cost of parts, even though they pretend their servicing costs are average. 'Mechanics' who are really just fitters and won't bother to search for any underlying cause for a routine problem. Sadly, with so few cars sold in the UK there isn't an extensive range of independent Subaru specialists you can depend upon to ameliorate the ineptness of Subaru dealerships. ..AVOID!
