I've been reading pretty much every post on this site for the past few weeks, trying to decide whether the Outback is right for me.
Well, thanks to this forum, I've decided on the 2013 Subaru Outback Premium 2.5i CVT (with PZEV) in Venetian red.
I'm getting the moonroof and all-weather package, and popular package #2 (which includes wheel arch moldings, splash guards, rear seat protectors, rear bumper cover, etc.)
MSRP on the model with the options I want is about $29,920, but I'm getting mine for about $1400 below invoice. And that's not even considering my trade (which I'm only getting $3250 for, but considering it's a 2003 Civic with 125,000 miles... I guess that's not so bad.)
Can't wait to post pictures! When I called today it was still all wrapped up.
Thanks to everyone who's posted on here recently!
EDIT: Wanted to add the pic to the front page. The color is fantastic!
Good luck you will love it. Give it about 7,000 miles to break in before the gas mileage really picks up and then again at about 10K plus. Get a Fumoto Valve | Qwik Valve™
This will make oil change a breeze. No mess. Also don't let the dealer do filter changes ( cabin) for $129.00 plus. It will take you about 3 minutes and $16.00. Same with air filter.
My car has 36,000 in 14 months and has been flawless. My wife drive 99% highway. Always gets about 31-33 mph doing within 9 of the speed limit (55-65). Tires still have 9/32's brake still look new, we just checked. The 30K service was also a breeze.Again do it your self. It's fun.
FYI. It will be for sale in June/July with the 14's come in with about 56K on it. 2012 Limited 2.5 loaded in Pear White. No one have ever sat on any other seat but the drives. This is a Mon-Friday drive. She has a 13 Audi S5 Cab for weekends.

I am going to replace the head unit in my Subaru Outback 2.5i 2012. I need access to the space under the steering column to route various wires, so I need to remove that whole driver side kick panel to expose the area underneath. Does anybody have a guide as to how to easily remove...
Hi all. I have changed each low beam bulb on my 2011 outback and it's no fun. Also this is the only auto I've ever owned that I've had to replace bulbs on. The last time I changed the bulbs, the passenger side ended up "pointing wrong", limiting illumination.
As I hate changing the bulbs I...
Hello Outback friends,
Main Question: Can a bad torque converter and/or valve body damage the main CVT? ( 4th Gen 2012 Outback 2.5 with 130k miles) My symptoms are hesitation / lurching from a stop to drive.
I've read through many posts about torque converters and CVTs but none quite answer...
I have a plan to improve the dreaded HK audio system in my 2013 OB. The idea is to keep everything looking stock (stealth) but to reduce the muddy bass, install a real subwoofer, and improve the upfront sound stage. Options for dash speakers are extremely limited, so I have decided to keep the...
