Best years for Outback - Subaru Outback Forums
WEBDec 21, 2022 · Wiscoutback87. There’s no terrible years to buy. For your price you could do a Gen 5 if you can go 2018-2019 it would be best but it may push the budget or look at higher miles. 2013-2014 you had no timing belts or head gasket issues. I would stay away from 2015 it was the first Gen 5 but you get to 2017 it was solid.
Which year Outback is "best"? ie reliable, dependable, low upkeep
WEBJul 10, 2019 · Using the rule of “first year of the generation has most kinks”, years 2015 and 2018 should be the least reliable years. 2015 is the first year of the generation, and 2018 is the first year of the mid-generation refresh. Note, however, I have a 2018 and do not subscribe to the rule I just mentioned.
Which 4th Gen Year is Best? - Subaru Outback Forums
WEBApr 5, 2016 · Generally speaking, the 4th and 5th year of a generation is the "best". Those years would include the "Big Minor Change" (aka "Facelift") where they finish shaking out the bugs of the new platform. That would be 2013 and 2014 for the generation in question. I would say the 2012 Outback is perhaps the wisest choice for a used Gen4 Outback.
