Superb Outback
by Outback 2015 on 3/11/2026 3:02:55 PM
As of March 2026 my 2015 has 233,000 miles on it. Still gets 31-37 mpg. Never had an issue that had to be taken in for repair. Bought a tire pump years ago as I did off road engineering. Change oil every 3000 miles myself and change all filters myself. Great travel car! It’s been on many 3000 miles round trips from Fort Wayne, IND to Key West and back. - 4.0
