Pros: What do you like about 2006 Subaru Outback?
We have an Outback 2.5 XT, with 250 HP and 250 pound feet of torque. It's a fantastic car! It comes as close to being a "jack of all trades, MASTER of all trades" as any vehicle out there! It's a sports car, a family wagon and the all-wheel drive makes it as "go anywhere" as most SUVs on the road today. It's fun, tossable, and practical. I love it!

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Subaru Outback?
I'd probably like the seats to be a bit less firm, with a little more padding, and a six-speed manual might be nice, although the five-speed is good.

2006 Subaru Outback Review:
It's the best all-around, all-weather vehicle I've ever owned!! Although I probably would still have gotten my BMW M3 convertible if this Subaru had been available back in 2002, I certainly wouldn't have felt the pressing need to do so.

SUV performance with quiet comfortable car ride and good gas mileage. Rock-solid reliability, I expect 200+K milesfrom it. This is the best value out there, an extremely well engineered vehicle!
