Subaru Outback Wilderness One Year Review: Buyer's Remorse?

In this video I'll be talking about the first full year of ownership of my 2022 Subaru Outback Wilderness Edition, the things I like, the things I don't like, and if I would buy the OBW if I had it all to do over again.

I promise this isn't the only shirt I own, lol. I just realized it was the same shirt I wore in the 1-month update. lol

Anker is a really solid tech brand. I've purchased many products from them. Never disasspointed

[matthewwain]

We have been blown away with my wife's OBW. It has its minor annoyances, but overall we love it. Don't regret a single second. Amazing engine.

[Armor_Clad]

I’m glad you still like it. I have one ordered and should arrive in October

[jeffyates]

I got my OBW May 7th. Got just shy of 3k on the clock. This is my second Outback. I've been on the fence on it being worth trading my 20 Onyx for about 6 months. So glad I pulled the trigger. The Wilderness handled the North Carolina mountains so much better than the Onyx did. I totally agree the rear cargo tray is subpar for sure, its also the same in the Onyx.

Bought mine August 2021, and it really is a perfectly balanced car for commuting, road trips and the occasional off road. The CVT though does get jerky, but overall a great car.

I recently bought a 2024 Forester Wilderness to do a bit of light overlanding. So far, very pleased with it.

[bfarm]

Knowing mine and the vehicle’s limitations off road I’m going to be very happy with one. I’m not jeeping over massive ruts, deep mud or vehicle killing rocks. Just your average dad doing average stuff.

[soulknight]

I'm going to get one next year. I'm glad you made this video. It's going to be a huge upgrade for me coming from a Corolla. I've used my Corolla to go on long road trips, camping, light off-roading to campsites and hiking trails. I'm excited for the turbo.

[thomaskrutulis]

Stop sign near 2:58 ? Just wondering lol. Cool car. We had a 19 3.6R. Fun wagons for sure

[SoulfulHouseMafia]

Great review and solidifies my decision in purchasing one this week. FYI the '23's do have a better textured rear tray and wireless Android Auto and Apple Car Play is standard.

[patrickmclean]

The first thing I installed on my OBW was Primitive racing skid plates, the factory skid plate really doesn't protect much

[williamaungleyraud]

Very interesting use of a 360 camera 📷👍

[elsaandnoah]

I’ll get OBW in 2023. I still have to decide on white or dark grey

[swimster]

About to order a '23 a d thankfully they now support wireless android auto and it uses much more of the screen. Way better. Also fixed the awful climate control UI. Glad to see Subaru listens to customers.

Ordered my '23 OBW last week. Now, the big wait.

[carlcolvin]

The main thing that I like about the OBW is that it has a Real Spare Tire.
No other Subaru's have a real spare tire.

[vargulfen]

Wireless Carplay/AA is in the '23.

[devinwashington]

Just subscribed brother! Just ordered a black wilderness forester. Can’t wait!!
