The 2021 Subaru Outback Premier XT: before you buy

No 2021 Subaru Outback Premier XT is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. This page puts the 2021 Subaru Outback Premier XT in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.

Recalls and complaints

Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.

Engine and fuel

The 2.5L 4-cylinder with all-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. It runs on regular gas. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.

By the EPA's combined rating of 8.2 L/100 km, 300 km takes about 25 litres. For 1,000 km, budget about $127.10 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,300 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

What to expect from the Outback

The higher seat of a compact SUV gives a good view of the road in traffic.

Who it is for

It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits winter trips and weekends with more gear than people.

Rent it for a week first

A week with the Outback answers more than any brochure. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. A test week in the Outback tells you more than any review.

What it costs to run

Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $127.10 at our price setting. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.

Picking a year and a trim

If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Compare the Premier XT with the other trims of the same year before you decide. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
