Just got an 2018 Outback last week. My old car, a VW, had a nice cubby in the glove compartment where to store the manual. Is there a place in the Outback where the manual is suppose to live, aside from taking over the glove compartment?

Yup, the first thing I did when I brought my new Outback home was to pull the manuals from the glove box so that I could actually have space to USE the glovebox!
I have electronic versions of the manual(s) in my cloud storage account so I can access the content from any of my devices anywhere.
Got mine saved to my PC and in my Dropbox account so I can view from phone/IPad. Hard copies in the den. Had to make room in my glove box for a recent road trip. The search feature is really nice to find just what you're looking for.
Forgot to mention above - if your car has EyeSight and a trailer hitch, you may consider getting a dedicated trailer to haul all this paperweight around :smile2:
I put the pdf's in iBooks so I could quickly search the topic of interest and go straight to it, or see everywhere a certain term is mentioned. Much better than paper form.
Once I find the spot in the manual I seek, I figure out whether a paper copy would be more valuable, and either print it, or go find the manual hiding in a storage box with the factory speakers, the factory floor mats, the factory interior bulbs, and anything else that would go with the car if/when it was sold.
I'm curious if anyone has found a source for the manual as a single PDF vs all the individual files located here. For those of you who refer to soft copies here, are you getting them from the location I linked, or somewhere else?
If you haven't done so already, register on mysubaru.com. Once you have, log into your account and you will find Support & Resources link at the top, and there you will find complete manuals (not the individual sections).
