My wife had a 2015 Outback Limited and we just traded it in for 2025. The 2015 cost about $34k and didn't have the eyesite system. The 2025 Has all the new technology. 11" display. A GPS that actually works. Apple Carplay. LED headlights that adjust when you turn corners. All the collision avoidance and lane departure stuff. The sideview mirrors tilt down when you put the car in reverse. Leather heated seats. Heated steering wheel, etc. It even reminds you to look in the back seat to make sure you didn't leave a kid or pet back there. Thankfully there is so much customization available that you can disable that function since we have neither pets or children. The car is loaded. The car remembers you. When you get in it will adjust the seats and mirrors to your presets. It also has two switches in the door that will do the same thing.

We paid around $37k at the Wesley Chapel Dealership. They were very easy to deal with. We didn't get any warm and fuzzies from the two local dealerships. All those features in a car under $40k is impressive in my book.

These cars are absolute beasts in the snow. The Outback handled the snow better than my 3/4 ton Dodge 4x4 with snow tires and 500lbs of sandbags in the bed.

If I had any complaints it would be power. The car certainly isn't going to win any drag races. It's a great around town car and we were comfortable taking it across the country. There is a turbo version of most of their cars with ~$2k upcharge.

If you have any questions you know how to find me.
