Subaru Outback (09 on) - Review Review by David Ross on 01 February 2010 Last Updated: 03 February 2010 With its sophisticated four-wheel drive systems and extra ground clearance, the Subaru Outback offers the off-road capability of a more traditional 4x4, but in an estate-sized package. Previous versions have built up a reputation for reliability and bullet-proof build quality, strengths which have kept owners incredibly loyal to the brand. It's also why the Outback is a popular choice in rural areas, both as a workhorse and a family vehicle. This version, based on the Legacy Tourer, is more refined than before but it's not the most sophisticated car around, especially when compared to similar models such as the Skoda Octavia Scout, with a rather utilitarian cabin. It comes with a decent diesel engine though, offering useful economy while there's a large boot and plenty of interior space too. 3 out of 5 Other Subaru reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Gallery Company Car Costs P11D Value The price of the car excluding road tax and first registration fee.
