Adventure Subaru Outback Deep Snow Winter Driving 2011 Feb 09 Fang Island HD

How does a Subaru Outback with Symmetrical All-wheel Drive handle in the deep snow? Adventure Subaru Outback 2.5i Limited 2010 model with VDC (Vehicle Dynamics Control) turned off. The snow was deep but no match for the Subaru. February 09, 2011 Fayetteville, AR

Does your outback (the one in the video slaying the snow) have the CVT transmission? I just bought one and I'm hearing the CVT is not so great in the snow.

@buckfush2 Yes, my Outback in this video has the CVT. Lots of people say they do not like the CVT. Personally, I have no problems with it. In fact, I just bought a 2012 Subaru Impreza that also has the CVT and I love it. Sure, it is NOT as cool as a manual, but the fuel economy is much better. The only time I wouldn't want a CVT is if I was buying a WRX!!

Thanks for the post. Nice quality video too. Just bought a 2011 Outback 2.5 Limited w/ CVT. Judging by your video and what I read around the net seems the thing to do is shutdown the VDC when running in snow, would you say tha'ts correct? Did yo have it in manual mode and if so what gear did you stay in or were you shifting/in - D - ?

Also, what tires were you running at the time of this video? Thanks -

@YellowMetalDriver

Stock Continental tires, mostly stayed in "automatic" mode. I down shifted only to control speed going down hill (engine braking). VDC was off for most of the video since VDC will sometimes slow your momentum when driving in deep snow. Congrats on your new Outback!

Why do I always seem to find a concrete parking block when I drive like that?

@weengreen I have a 2012 Outback with the CVT and so far it has done awesome in the snow, climbing hills and in the snow.

Hi, I run the UK Subaru Drive Team, we organise Off road and Circuit/Track driving events for potential Subaru buyers in both Outback and Forester models (Off road) and the STi (Circuit/Track).

I just wish we had that amount of snow here in England, great fun! Impressive driving too!

We use the 2.5 Lineatronic (CVT) Outback which amazes our customers with it's Off Road ability.

Take a look at SubaruVideos channel to see some of our events.

Cool video! Subaru is the king of AWD technology and nothing else can compete with them when it comes to snow. I was blown away the first time i took mine up to the mountain into some deep powder, carved through it like a snowmobile would. Amazing cars!!!
