2015--2017 Subaru Outback Available Features: Cons
Year	Comment
	Subaru scores big points for safety features and all-wheel-drive. But a few desirable features offered on the Cherokee aren't available with the Outback: heated steering wheel, cooled front seats, auto-dimming headlights, rain-sensing wipers, obstacle detection, and an active parking system. Then again, you might not want any of these features enough to pay for them. see full Subaru Outback review

2015--2017 Subaru Outback Available Features: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2014	4dr Wagon 173-horsepower 2.5L H4 6-speed manual AWD	My biggest complaint with the Premium is that you can't get a backup camera unless you also get the sunroof. I can't take the sunroof-- as I need the headroom it takes away. Also, the sunroof isn't that great, even if it didn't steal over an inch of headroom-- it is rather small. The one on the Forrester is much nicer. see full Subaru Outback review
