Subaru still offers a wagon-shaped vehicle with a turbocharged engine? Well, sort of.
While the current Outback is more of an SUV compared to the station wagon introduced some 30 years ago, the availability of an optional turbocharged engine is, at least on paper, a welcome addition …
I can't help but notice the location of the oil filter.
Yeah, it has a high chance of spilling oil all over the engine during a filter change, but, I mean, it's right there. You can just open the hood and grab it.
That deserves some brownie points, right?
Driving impressions to come shortly as the car just arrived. Look for it on I-4 this weekend, in fact.
Have questions about it? Post away.
And a few first impressions. Our test car, by the way, has 1396 miles on the clock.
First, comfortable front seats with plenty of cushion and bolster for back and butt. They’re not GT3 Porsche seats but very appropriate for this car’s mission. Eager to spend some time in them.
Check it out, a real mechanical shifter. No knob, no buttons.
Some detail shots. Everything feels solid.
HVAC and sound are typical Subaru in that it’s a combination of knobs, buttons and screen.
Is there a Rallycross somewhere to give it a proper test at?
I didn't know that you were a lesbian!
But seriously, we've really enjoyed our Crosstrek. But it seems that the bigger Subarus get, the less personality they have. Hopefully this one bucks the trend.
