2005 Outback

My $.02's worth...new 05 Outback review

Author's Rating: Rating: 5/5 stars

Pros: New styling, more luxurious, lots of standard amenities

Cons: Base engine needs more hp's; gray body cladding seems a bit fragile

Author's Review
Bigger, plusher, more leg room, and more slylish than previous Subarus. Re-styled (esp. the back end, which is less gaudy and more car-like) and a bigger, more plush cabin. Quiet, smooth ride. 8.4” ground clearance.

Base model loaded with goodies: heated front seats/windshield/mirrors, power driver's seat, 6-speaker stereo w/CD, cruise, 4 side curtain airbags, titanium/wood trim, plush upholstery/mats, trip computer, rear spoiler, etc.

I've test driven everything recently (Toyotas, Hondas, Saturns, etc., all sizes/shapes), did my homework, used a spreadsheet, and still each came up short on something. Spotted an 05 Outback (literally just off the truck). The test drive blew me away...this is NOT my father's Buick!
