I've put almost 19k miles (~30.5k KM) on my 2022 Subaru Outback Wilderness so figured I had enough experience with the car to provide an honest review of the good and bad of this vehicle.

Note: I am not a professional YouTube creator so please forgive the crude editing and my often awkward and unpolished voiceover. I'm just a regular guy sharing my POV and so if you find this review of value then I would appreciate a comment and like. If not, sorry.

12:32 Overall Summary

A few things I forgot to mention in the video that are helpful to know:

- Turn off the Rear Automatic Braking (RAB) functionality if you have something in the trailer hitch such as a bike rack or the car will freak out when you put it in reverse
- The touchscreen only works with certain gloves so perhaps bring the gloves you drive in during the winter to your test drive to determine if that will be annoying for you or not
- The car interior is roomy enough to provide comfortable seating for 4 regular sized adults. Yes, it seats 5 but I do not think that 3 regular adults would be comfortable for extended trips in the back seat.
- I live in Massachusetts and so that's good to know for context of the geography I'm primarily using the car in.
- I have the following Subaru options, I forgot to mention some of them. This car came new with them already installed and so after two years of use this is my take on whether I believe they are worth it.

Cargo Net: nope
Cargo Sidewall Protector: yes (if you need it)
CD player: nope unless you really like CDs
Door cladding (exterior): maybe
Door scuff protector (interior of door): nope
Exterior Auto Dim Mirror: nope
LED map and dome lights: yes
Footwell lighting: a nice to have but I do enjoy it
License plate bracket: yes
Rear seatback protector: yes (if you need it)
Remote engine starter: nope
Splash guards: yes
Trailer hitch: yes (if you need it)
Wireless charger: nope (I REALLY dislike this option)
