My new 3.6R Flat 6
 

Ok so its not what you expected but it was time to buy the wife a new grocery getter. Even with the addition of another little one, I was just tired of the big SUV and its crappy gas mileage. We decided to look for a cross over. I looked at several like the Ford Edge and the ugly new Honda and then we stopped and looked at the Outback. I was blown away by how this thing handled, its power and its rabid following. I mean this thing actually feels like it has some soul (I know its a wagon). It took some time to find the color and model I wanted and it was very difficult!! The 3.6 Limited proved very hard to find!! I had no idea how loyal of a following these things have. OK so enough about the new station wagon :). If you are looking for something different, drive one of these.

They're a blast. Good choice!

Dave, you still have the Fuchs??

lol no man, long gone!

you take better pics than edmunds.com, like the color...by soul, do you mean it drives good?

Good luck with it. I looked at Outbacks and really liked them, but found out they have a steering problems that shows up on about 30% of the cars and chickened out. Hopefully you're in the 70% majority that has no problem.

was that on the new 2011 model? edit: yea 010 and 011 vibration shake in steering wheel.....

great car!!!

Years ago my MIL was shopping for a car and her family was trying to talk her into a SUV. I pointed her to the Outback. I am still a hero for that recommendation. I think it's a '07 - got 80K miles without a single issue. I drove it a few weeks back and it still feels & sounds like a new car. Her only regret was not springing for the turbo...LOL.
