2010	4dr Wagon 170-horsepower 2.5L H4 6-speed shiftable CVT AWD	28MPG on an all wheel drive vehicle with 8" of ground clearance is tough to beat. Especially since I'm averaging 32 on the highway! see full Subaru Outback review

2010	4dr Wagon 170-horsepower 2.5L H4 6-speed shiftable CVT AWD	I like that my 2.5l CVT can be run with regular gas or higher octane premium fules. This gives me a wide range of choices when fuleing.
