Subaru Outback parts reviews

Overall the Outback performed better than I expected with 4 occupants and a trailer, however I wouldn’t want to tow any more then 1500 pounds for the distance I traveled. Acceleration was obviously impacted but not as much as I feared, the 2.5i does have enough power for the load I was putting it under. At really high elevations and fairly steep grades I did have to decrease my speed to keep my RPM’s down

Yokohama Geolander G015s are a good choice, and I'm about to fit a set of Continental CrossContact AX6s to my Outback.

Nothing wrong with Subaru’s that the best made one I’ve found.

The last was a Pilkington and has lasted twice as long as all the OEM combined!

Go aftermarket. Pilkington if you have a choice, but any aftermarket will likely be better than OEM (Carlex). Zero issues with eyesight.

I put an Optima Yellow Top battery into my 2018 OB 3.6R because the CCAs of the stock battery were pitiful (490 vs 720). Maybe check out other brands aside from Duralast? Also, get something that’s way beefier than the stock battery, especially if you live in hot or cold climates.

My OEM fits great (23 OBW). Sure it doesn’t fold as compact as a flexible one, but I like the Subaru logo.

I'm still running on the original battery, which does surprisingly well until subzero temps set in, and then the poor thing just cries a lot and breaks my heart, so I jump it with my Noco and things are fine.

I had ordered the OEM Subaru accordion-style one, but it was honestly terrible; really long and rigid, hard to unfold and put up, and very expensive.

I have a 2019 Subaru outback. The battery dies every two months and I am left stranded.
