This video was shot within a private property owned by my friends parents. This is the first time I ever drove offroad for any significant distance. The vehicle is a bone stock 2016, uh, Outback.
Overall, the car is very planted and go up the steep unpaved road and down the gravel road with ease (even without the x-mode). The ride was smoother than my friend's Toyota Tundra.
I tried many so called AWD SUV's and the ride the Outback gives was a major factor in my decision. I will correct that a major decision made by the wife.
That's what the driver said. I actually went through that loop 3 times during my stay but I only showed one to keep the video politely brief The property is lovely but I can only go there maybe once or twice per year. Gotta try fishing there next time
Wow, you went over leaves and grass and I think I even saw some twigs. It looks like a nice drive. If this is your first Outback you will be amazed when you do that same or similar drive in 8" of snow. It will have no problems.
Does yours have the CVT transmission? I'm curious about how it felt on the hills. Kid #1 has the 2000 Outback, kid #2 will get the 2008 in a couple of years and I have my heart set on the 2016 around 2018. Maybe a lease buy-back or certified used.
Yes, mine has the CVT. It is better than the CVT on the 2013 XV Crosstrek but my favorite transmission I ever tested is the 6 speed dual clutch transmission (VW called it DSG) on a 2013 VW Golf GTI.
...go there when it snows a bunch of wet snow --then have that CRV I saw at the top of the "loop" see if he could follow you --I bet not!!??
My "guess" this is some sort of "private " subdivision ? The tip I got was all the underground utilities boxes on top of the loop?.
Pretty area --sort of reminds me of some of our woodsy/hilly areas in Missouri--especially around here (central and south central).:grin2:
Beautiful property. I would have had to stop and fish that river though!
My wife and I live to camp and fish and we take our OB on some sketchy dirt roads. It does great!
