Favorite feature: |
It drives wonderfully with the 5 speed. The limited's interior is plush |
Least favorite feature: |
Gas mileage and cramped interior. |
Advice to buyer: |
Previous Subaru owners will love it. SUV owners may be scared away by it's cramped quarters. |
Detailed review: |
Test drove the 2.5 XT 5 speed, the 2.5i automatic and the 2.5i Limited 5 speed. The XT was incredible but I actually felt a bit stressed by the available acceleration! The 2.5i automatic didn't have the pep I wanted. The 2.5i 5 speed was just what I was looking for. Sporty, with good acceleration and lots of safety. Interior is a bit cramped if the whole family is aboard. Getting in and out of the driver's seat can be tricky. Gas mileage has been at the low end of the ratings, somewhere around 24-25 mpg. Considered older Outbacks but the resale is so high I went with a new 2006. |
