Review: This is my second Outback. My first was a 2005 2.5XT Limited. I liked that one so much, when I decided to purchase another car, I bought the 2006 model. The 2006 is essentially the same as the 2005, which is not a bad thing, because this is a great ...

Pros: Capable, safe, well made and comfortable

Cons: tires and climate control

The Bottom Line: I would buy this car again. Safety, comfort and worthiness

Review: I bought this car last August (2006) from Subaru. It had a few thousand miles on it and was traded in for one with leather seats. It looked and ran like a new car. I wanted 4WD (four wheel drive) for my snowy and mountainous northern climate. I ...

Review: I purchased my 2006 Outback 2.5 XT new in July 2006, I have now had it almost 6 months and have about 6400 miles on the odometer. I became interested in Subaru when I began noticing that they seemed to get good reviews on reliability, and noticed ...

Pros: Engine, interior, fit-n-finish

The Bottom Line: Search for a used one and buy it. Keeping up with a Mustang in a station wagon is a blast.

Pros: All wheel drive, solid, comfortable seats, looks, mileage, resale value, durability.

Cons: Light color interior gets dirty.

Review: Great car. I have owned several Subaru wagons and all have been great. The 2006 2.5i is by far the best one I have owned. It has plenty of power and gets pretty good gas mileage, 28mpg daily work driving and I've gotten 32mpg on trips. Once I load up my ...

Gadets galore

Pros: Horsepower, comfort, fun to drive.

Cons: You pay for the horsepower and allwheel drive with your gas mileage.

Review: I previously owned a 1999 Outback wagon that I sold to my son. I was very happy with it except for the anemic power it provided in the mountains around Salt Lake City and Utah. I love the new model with the 250 horsepower and lots of torque. The ...
