A couple years ago I made some predictions...

Date of Review:  May 26, 2004
The Bottom Line: Very nice interior and overall refinement, but lacking in power and rear seat room. Pricey. Will likely rate turbo four higher, though even pricier.
Review: With a few notable exceptions, compact non-luxury-brand cars tend to be priced close together. The notable exceptions are VW and Subaru. VW has justified higher prices for its cars through "German engineering" and the highest quality interiors among...

2005 Subaru Outback Wagon - Fun, Versatile, Safe... Love it!

Date of Review:  Jan 11, 2007
The Bottom Line: This is my second Subaru Outback Wagon, and I love it! It is a great car that has all the features I need, while also being a safe car.
Review: In 2000, I bought a used Subaru, which was gorgeous and worked like a charm, but by 2005, I was more than ready to trade in my 1997 Outback for a newer year. Once summer of 2005 hit, I was really determined to get myself a new car! I was absolutely...

Great Wagon

Date of Review:  Jul 9, 2005
The Bottom Line: Buy it!
Review: My 2005 Outback XT Ltd is my first new car; I probably broke the curve as far as ownership statistics go, being only 25 when I purchased it (August 2004, I have 30,000 miles on it now). I cross shopped with every car I considered competitive, but...

A capable do-anything car

Date of Review:  Jun 24, 2005
The Bottom Line: A great car for active use with lots of cargo space and great bad weather capabilities.
Review: **** UPDATED 12/13/2005 -- See addendum at the bottom ****

I bought my 2005 Outback to replace my 2003 Hyundai Elantra GT hatchback which I *REALLY* liked, but was totaled by a red-light-runner. It's really hard to switch to another car if...

Great Handling, but a few drawbacks

Date of Review:  Apr 9, 2007
The Bottom Line: A good vehicle if you can live with the limitations
Review: We bought the 2005 Outback VDC for my wife. We went considerably out of our way to get one of the few remaining VDCs in late 2005, and I think it was definitely worth it.

Pros:
-The VDC is great. I did a little testing in a snowy and...

Great Car - but a bit uncomfortable - 15,000 mile review

Date of Review:  Aug 17, 2005
The Bottom Line: Great driving car... Make sure the 2.5 is powerful enough for you. Take a very long test drive or rent one before buying, Not everyone will find this car comfortable.
Review: This review is for the 2005 Outback Limited 2.5 NON-TURBO with 4 speed automatic transmission. It is not for the turbo or H6.

I purchased the OB Ltd. automatic 11 months ago in September 2004 and have since put 15,300 miles on it with a...

2005 Subaru Outback XT Limited "A pocket rocket"

Date of Review:  Sep 12, 2007
The Bottom Line: If you're looking for a reliable, powerful, comfortable, roomy, all wheel drive wagon, with an option of manual transmission, this is your car.
Review: I was looking to replace my 2000 Outback Wagon which I was handing over to my rock star stepson. I loved my Outback and was hoping to upgrade a few features while renewing my wheels of zeal. The XT Limited is the top of the line 4 cylinder Outback...

2005 Subaru Outback Wagon

Date of Review:  Apr 15, 2009
The Bottom Line: I love to play in the mountains in every season and this is the ultimate vehicle to get you and your family there safely and comfortably.
Review: At first glance one would think that it is just a teched out looking station wagon. But once you get behind the wheel you'll discover an amazing blend of car-like responsiveness and SUV ruggedness.Given one of the highest safety ratings for the year...

An excellent new car

Date of Review:  Nov 22, 2004
The Bottom Line: An excellent choice, better than any SUV offering out there.
Review: My wife and I purchased a 2005 Subaru Outback Limited XT to fit our growing family. It only took one test drive and we purchased the car on the spot. Compared to a 4-runner, Explorer, Mazda 6 wagon, and VW Passat Wagon, well, there was no...

Outback 2.5 XT Limited--Great Value! Fantastic Car!

Date of Review:  Oct 31, 2004
The Bottom Line: Great car for the money--more upscale than you would think and is a blast to drive!
Review: I bought an '05 Outback 2.5XT Limited a few weeks ago. I have been shopping for a second car for approximately 3 months. I wanted something that would haul stuff and was maneuverable and, if possible, fun to drive. I looked at the Toyota RAV4, Honda...
