TrueDelta Reviews the Available Features of the 2016 Subaru Outback

2016 Subaru Outback Available Features: Cons
YearComment
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
