What Our Members Are Saying about the Available Features of the 2013 Subaru Outback

2013 Subaru Outback Available Features: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2014	4dr Wagon 173-horsepower 2.5L H4 6-speed manual AWD	My biggest complaint with the Premium is that you can't get a backup camera unless you also get the sunroof. I can't take the sunroof-- as I need the headroom it takes away. Also, the sunroof isn't that great, even if it didn't steal over an inch of headroom-- it is rather small. The one on the Forrester is much nicer. see full Subaru Outback review

2013 Toyota Camry Available Features: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2012	4dr Sedan 178-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	The side mirrors are small, need BSM option or a small convex mirror installed. Auto lights don't come on w/wipers (but DRLs always on). Carpet real thin for a deluxe XLE, no floor mats in pkg (but competitors don't supply them either). see full Toyota Camry review
