i have the cosmic blue pearl and it changes color according to the lighting..... light blue in direct sunllight then darker blue and almost black at night. i love it!!
I got a 2024 Premium in April. I would have gotten the car without the moonroof (I rarely use it) to save some money, but they had limited choices. The navigation is ok as a backup when out of cell phone range, but I wouldn't pay for it if there was a choice. The main upside to the 2 packages is the blind spot and rear cross traffic alert. One thing I wish the car did have would be a beeping backup object alert... I am used to it in my other car, and sometimes forget its not there in the Outback.
it's wild to me that in 2025 subaru is charging an extra $1500 for a moonroof and on board nav (OP 13 vs. OP 15) do people actually use onboard nav when wireless carplay/android auto exists?
@@GetOffMyyLawn not saying it can't come in handy, but the fact that you have to pay $1500 to get it is ridiculous if you don't care about the moonroof, it should be a $300 option, $500 max. $1500 for nav when 98% of the time you're going to use your phone is just nuts to me
@@kylesmith245 I don't disagree... i wound up getting the moonroof because i wanted the blind spot alerting and the dealer didn't have the color I wanted without the moonroof... i have an old garmin that I prefer to the built in tom-tom nav.

@@kylesmith245 there are still some places without good cell service and it's nice to have as a backup

If I get an unrepairable flat on one of the tires, do I have to replace all 4 due to the AWD?
No. But you might need to shave the new tire to match the others. They need to match diameter and tread pattern.
The onyx is 2k$ more and has the harmon kardon system and the startex interior and some other stuff
Thats how they get you 2k more and 2 k more till your on the highest
@@smd9685absolutely next thing you know you're driving around a 45k outback
@@bernardl4441 for $200 I put a good set of speakers in my Premium.
I use Waze for navigation
With WAZE, does it fill in a good portion of the screen?
Why no test drive ?
This isn’t a review, but rather a deep dive into the features and packages the Outback Premium offers
