Refuse to pay for unordered items added to your new purchase, and you might even get it for free.
We purchased a new 2021 Outback Premier, specifically WITHOUT a towbar kit ($1200) and when it arrived it had a towbar kit fitted. We said we didn't order it and wouldn't pay for it, so please remove it.
Dealership rep argued that it was difficult to remove as they would need to remove various bits to remove the bar mounts, and the electrical system would be a problem to remove the wiring...

Does anyone know the technical differences between the High Torque CVT vs the normal CVT? I have searched the forum and did not see the details of what makes the High Torque able to handle the additional hp/torque of the 3.6 engine.

I tried updating my map subscription on my 2020 Outback. I contacted Subaru after having no luck, they suggested taking my car to my local dealer. Did that and they couldn’t get it work. After updating the Map just says, NO ROUTE POSSIBLE. Subaru refunded my $160 for the update and said there is nothing else they can do.

In girlfriends 2021 Outback I use CC extensively on the highways and as often as I can in the city. What we started to be aware of is as we slowly approached traffic ahead it felt as the brakes were being applied instead of/along with the throttle dropping back. This was really brought to mind as the back brakes were replaced mid 30K miles (San Luis Obispo) . To further evaluate I would click off the cruise control as I approached vehicles and the lunge forward was not nearly as pronounced...

Our Gen 4 has been having a very long crank time when cold and it seems like it doesn’t always catch. My wife also noticed that our exhaust smell is very strong when this happens. I’m think injectors or a catalytic converter issue? The plugs and battery are newer and test good and the car has been maintained well. It gets mostly highway miles about 80 a day so it’s not like it’s it’s or does short trips. It’s got 171,000 miles. Thanks for any ideas ..read more

I have Gen 2 Subaru Outback that runs fine but living in the city the bumpers are scratched, scraped, etc.
I would like to do a very basic paint of it. Not trying to have it look new, just the color of the bumper look uniform gold/tan color. Has anyone done this specifically for this Gen 2 bumper? It is plasticy, so not sure if can do real sanding?
Just clean it and spray? Or is there a...
