Expert Rating:

“Fortunately we recently had the opportunity to test an Outback 3.6R Limited and we can now safely say that this rugged wagon has the bite to back up its bark.”

“With the solid chassis and relatively low power, this car felt like a very safe cocoon. It was quiet inside and road imperfections and conditions were handled with ease.”

“With the ability to swap driving modes on the fly, it makes the Outback’s performance go hand-in-hand with fuel economy. I never actually thought I’d be able to put performance and fuel economy in the same sentence, but there it is. Twice!”

“But for the purposes of this article, we wanted to see which would perform better in the sand – Jeep’s Command Trac 4×4 system or Subaru’s Symmetrical AWD system.”

“Lake Tahoe, Monterey, Stinson Beach, or the Wildflower Triathlon, …this car will get you and all your gear to your destinations regardless of the conditions.”

“I was surprised by the well-sorted handling characteristics of this car. Don’t get me wrong, it doesn’t handle like a sports car and wasn’t designed to. But this car was a pleasure to drive.”
