The 2.5 turbo was a real charger, snapping a nearly two-ton automobile forward at respectable speed and moving powerfully in passing mode. There is also a 3.0 model with a flat six-cylinder available at similar power ratings. While the base 2.5i and 2.5i Limited models get 168 horsepower from their boxer four-cylinder engines, the 2.5 XT and 2.5 XT Limited get a derivative of the WRX Sti engine: turbocharged and offering 250 horsepower. For safety, air bags surround you: dual front, side curtain, and front-seat side impact. The rear cargo area, with cover tray and tie-downs, makes this a perfect shopping/antiquing vehicle.

This is a fine car, brimming with power, luxury, and utility. I don’t know how many people want to spend 30 grand on a small Subaru. And Mercedes-Benz told me that one reason it decided to offer all-wheel-drive throughout virtually its entire lineup was that folks in weather-challenged areas such as New England, Colorado, the Pacific Northwest, and California’s High Sierras, who could afford Mercedes, were instead opting for Subarus.īut I wonder if Subaru, going upscale with today’s test car, the 2005 Subaru Outback 2.5XT Limited, is flying too close to the sun. Ford is coming with an all-wheel-drive sedan. And, of course, the late Ernie Boch proved a genius when he chose his New England base as the place to nurture the nascent import no one had ever heard of, over three decades ago.
