2008 4dr Wagon 170-horsepower 2.5L H4

2007 4dr Wagon 175-horsepower 2.5L H4
4-speed shiftable automatic AWD
I was amazed at how small the back seat is in this car. Really no bigger than a compact sedan, eg Civic or Corolla. I can't fit my 3 kids (in car seats) back there, and feel bad when co-workers pile in to go to lunch. Surprisingly small for a vehicle this size, and marketed as a "family car." If you plan to put adults or 3 kids back there regularly, look at the '10 or newer (or at something else -- the rear seat in my co-worker's Accord is far bigger and more comfortable). see full Subaru Outback review
2007 4dr Sedan 245-horsepower 3.0L H6
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD
Leg and head room lacking for over 6 footers. see full Subaru Outback review
