Miles Overview
The Outback is Subaru's lifted wagon, a practical alternative to the typical SUV that still feels at home on gravel roads. It handles with a planted, confident feel that makes it easy to forget you're in a tall wagon. The cabin is straightforward and functional, with plenty of room for people and gear, though the rear seat is a bit snug for three adults. Owners praise its long-term reliability, but head gaskets and radiators can be trouble spots once the miles pile up. Stepping up to the XT from the 2.5i brings the 2.5L boxer engine, which gives the wagon stronger passing power on the highway. The 2.5L pairs with the automatic transmission and all-wheel drive to deliver a 0-60 time around 6.5 seconds, making it one of the quicker wagons of its era. The XT's firmer suspension and larger brakes are the trade-off for its sharper handling, so expect a stiffer ride on rough pavement.
