Okay, so I did some searching and found random threads talking about stuff people wish their 4th Gen Outback had but I did not find 1 single thread with everything listed. Maybe I missed it if so I apologize.
So, what do you think Subaru should have included with your Gen4 Outback? I am going to post a link to this thread on Twitter and tag Subaru so they come over here and look. Same goes for FaceBook. This may not help current owners but it will help future Subaru customers.
1. Double sun visors. My FJ Cruiser had two sets of sun visors per side and it is the 1 thing I miss the most. One to fold down in front of you and the other to swing out to the side window. I really, really, miss this option and wish Subaru made it available. Cheap and easy enough to do. I am thinking of mocking up my own because I tire of swinging it back and forth during sunset driving.
2. More power adapters. The Outback is suppose to be a wonderful road trip car yet it only has power hookups in the front/middle. Why? There should be AC and DC outlets in the front and rear portion of the vehicle for various camping gear.
3. Larger cup holders. With all of the active people that own Outback's it would be nice if the cup holders would hold a 32oz Nalgene water bottle. The most common active water bottle today.
4. Optional non-carpet floor. For those of us that spend a lot of time in the dirt, it would be awesome to see a floor we could hose out with a drain plug.
5. Cargo hooks in the rear floor. There should be at least four no exceptions. Also, the weather mat for the back needs to have cutouts for these so you can still use it.
6. Roll down rear window. Once again, as a road trip/camping vehicle, this would be a wonderful option. Great for sleeping in the back or loading larger gear when you don't want to put it on top.
Those are my main misses by Subaru. Note, this thread isn't for nitpicking complaints about current features. Let's discuss missing options or accessories that we wish our Outback's had. Overall, I love my Outback I just wish it had a few more creature comforts for travels.
Cheers
